Roll With It

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me

I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking of things that I just can't abide

Entrapment

Sometimes, you just gotta do some 'framing'. After almost a month now of Jacob getting up in the middle of the night, even with his 'nighttime' medicine, I had had enough. Saturday morning I woke up and the lights were on. I let the dogs out, went to the restroom, and noticed the laundry room mess was staged in a different type of mess than when we had went to bed, so I peeked around the corner and there was Jacob.. squatting by the litter box. Fortunately he had had a therapy session last week where we went over this several times. So we went through the day with one kid ineligible for treats, which was hard.
This week we also had to put Tabby back into formal therapy, her processing skills were being pushed to their limits and her inability to form opinions was worsening. The therapist saw that point proven several times when his questions came back with "everything", "nothing", and "good" answers.
So, Saturday night I set up a cunning trap where I put a flashlight on the edge of the bathtub. Sure enough, Sunday morning the flashlight had moved. Jacob eventually confessed to taking it to his room and reading all night with it, but said "How did you know? It was where I found it?!"
Well, because I know exactly where I had placed it, and he had missed the mark by about 2 inches.
It didn't make me feel happy to have to do it, but it has been so many nights in a row I had to show him his number was up.
After Sunday school we ate around the table and shared some Bojangles. We started cleaning up the house.. it was such a dusty mess!
We then went to Wal-Mart to shop for the week.. and Tabby had a tantrum because we told her to wait on picking out candy since the elderly woman infront of us had decided to double back for a Mars bar. Tabby melted down super quick over being told to just wait.

This is my lovely weekend.
