Itchin' for a Change!

For the past week or so I've had really bad hip and lower back problems but as of yesterday I've been feeling MUCH better. All I had to do was talk a consulting nurse into calling in a scrip for me (no appt, thank you!!!) and take that with Aleve and whammo! muuuuch better.

As of yesterday my energy level has been up and I was bored with the usual cleaning SO I decided to clean Anna's room (which is quite the feat) and arrange it so that the girls share the room! Woohoo! Let the chaos begin...again! Last night was their FIRST night together and, over all, I would say it went well enough. They went to bed around 7:30-8:00. Fifteen minutes later, Anna got out and went to the bathroom. That was okay, I could deal with that. After ushering them back to bed and saying no more potty trips, I braced myself with fragile hopes of good fortune. --And things went well...until about thirty minutes later: Anna started yelling about Sabrina peeing on the floor. I thought WHAT?? I had just given her a new diaper and it is not like her to disrobe and risk a yucky bed. But Anna kept on fussing, and after a while I decided to investigate. What I saw when I went in was Sabrina all snug in her bed, Anna sitting up in hers flailing about pee, aaaaand a large circular wet spot between the beds. After thoroughly checking Sabrina, I turned to Anna. By then she was getting pretty creative with her lies. saying that somehow Sabrina had managed to pee out of the side of her diaper without getting wet. That's what clinched it. When I asked for Anna to come to me and let me check her undies, she refused and quickly scooched away from me. By then I was so upset from all her lying that I really fussed at her! What a liar liar pants on fire!!! I can't believe she did that!!! How many time does she really have to go potty at night??? Okay, so I've counted up to eight, but really I thought she was just making up excuses to get out of her room! Arg!!! So that was our big ordeal from the whole affair. If I can get myself to look past that, then I'm okay with how things went. I'll let you know when I completely succeed. *sigh* Moving on, I'm pretty happy that they didn't trash their room or beat each other up. Everyone survived intact.

Here's a before picture

The scene of the crime (under the towel).

Unusual Bed-Buddies: Sabrina likes tocuddle up with her Dora doll, but when I went in to check on her I found her sleeping with her Doodle-Pro and my duster as we!l. Silly girl!

Well, there's the scoop on the maiden voyage of room-sharing! Wish us luck! I have little hope for the impending nap time. 'Hope you all have a great day!
