Licensed Renewed and Changed!

At 9:09 am this morning,
The renewal of my license
Was officially approved
And my license changed from
Ages 5 - 14, boys or girls
To ages 1-14, boys and girls,
Meaning
I could bring Little Man
And Tigger
Home to live with Miz N.

Woo hoo!!!

We've basically "done" a whole day
On our other transition days,
But we've never done a nighttime routine
With the three of them.
It wasn't pretty.
It wasn't smooth.
But two hours later
All three are asleep.
Little Man cried himself to sleep.
Tigger talked her self to sleep.
Miz N plugged her ears and finally feel asleep.

Then I got motivated,
Sort of.
And I finally unpacked Miz N from our Michigan trip
And I finally went through Little Man's
And Tigger's clothes
And put them away
And as I was doing that I rearranged the closets,
Again.
And then I rearranged the living room,
Again.
And made another shopping list,
Again.
And I stacked up the dishes in the sink,
Again.
And I threw all of my Michigan clothes on the floor,
Again.
And I am going to bed,
And praying
Hoping,
Wishing,
Dreaming,
That they all sleep through the night
And that I sleep.

Praise Reports:
--They are all sleeping under my roof...together.
--They all have clothes galore and could wear a different outfit every day for a month.
--We went shopping at Sam's! (Thank you, God, for carts with TWO toddler seats.) And we actually ate lunch there. It was another thing off my "try-it-out" list.

Prayer Requests:
--Wisdom of how to deal with an almost 3 year old's strong-willed defiance and need to scream.
--Wisdom of how to teach a 14 month old who is testing his free-will.
--Wisdom of how to divide the love and attention that was going to one affection-needy-words-of-affirmation-starved 8 year old while dealing with the needs of two littles in the house, who demand more attention that I could ever anticipate.
