Sarah’s Day as told by Sarah -
This was my 2nd day during TCAPS. I had PB Cupps for breakfast. For lunch, I had chicken nuggets. I had gym and music today.I recieved all the rest of my belts for my recorder today (it’s kind of like earning belts in karate). */:-) @@@@:-) (marge simpson) B:-)

I spent the day getting frustrated about the zoo project. All my cookie paperwork is done and turned in. Yay! Now Doug and Sarah are butting heads because she is the world’s pickiest eater and Doug is upset that she refuses to take a bite of anything other than her 10 acceptable foods. This particular duel is over a teeny-tiny slice of banana. Doug is angry and Sarah is sobbing. Nobody will win this one.

Doug handled two of the kids’ appointments this week. I don’t feel like a taxi service. Thank you sweetie.

You’ve heard of hunger strikes. Amy is on a sleep strike. Doesn’t want to sleep at night. Won’t nap during the day. She’s just too busy to slow down.

Oops. Girl Scout Council just called and asked me to do something and I said “sure, no problem”. I’ll add “not saying no” to the list of things I need to get therapy for.

I’m still being ignored by the zoo crew. This makes me want to quit.

The cleaning was making me weary and I wanted to see Doug before he fell asleep so I headed to bed just after 10 p.m. When I got there he was caught up in an action flick and befire it ended he fell asleep. He got annoyed by Amy’s crying and clicked the TV off in the middle of a show I was watching. “THIS is what is waking her up.” Oh, well. He’ll stay up for Kingdom Hospital tonight.

Amy woke up crying a dozen times last night. If she wasn’t such a wiggler I would have put her in our bed so I wouldn’t have to keep getting up, giving her a hug and a new bop and tucking her back in bed. This morning she woke up before 7 and at 7:30 I gave up and brought her upstairs. Boy do I need a nap.

Sarah has therapy today and Noah has soccer practice but practice might get rained out.

We made our first step toward Project Linus progress today. Sarah has permission to put out a donation box at her school AND send home a flyer with each child! I am so excited about this.

At 5:15 p.m. the children came in asking for ice cream. Umm, no I don’t think so. It’s a little too close to dinner time. I made some progress on the house today. Now if the Zoo Crew would just give me their progress updates I’d feel better. The silence makes me think they haven’t done anything. It’s going to be a rainy night.

When Amy whines she sounds like Beaker from The Muppet Show.
