[QUOTE="hipperq, post: 550881, member: 15192"] It helps to remember that the anxiety will eventually get better. Sleep issues have always stressed me out. I think the kids got overtired last night. We're aiming for an 8 PM bedtime (6:30 AM wake up). But over the summer they were much later. daughter 2 and daughter 3 sleep in the same room, so when one is ramped up the other has trouble settling down. I'm planning to continue insisting on the new bedtime over the weekend to see if we can get the internal clocks reset. Will have to come up with something a little active and interesting to do after school today to keep them from napping and yet wear them out a bit. Easier said than done, though, as I volunteer on the local rescue squad and am on duty until 6 PM (though I'm at home if we don't get called out). daughter 1 has an IEP, the other girls don't. Not sure being later would help much as then I'd have to drive rather than take the bus. TeDo, I did see your post on your Anxiety, what a tough situation to be in! I hope you found a good way to keep them apart while you're gone. The food issues are ones I've dealt with for years and years. Only daughter 1 is not picky. My problem is that daughter 2 shuts down when I try to talk to her about anything. It's very hard to find out what she DOES want to eat, only what she doesn't. I wish Chocolate were a food group; then she'd be much easier to feed. daughter 3 also can't give me any ideas beyond ice cream as to something she'd be willing to eat in the morning, either. This morning before school she ate 2 bites of apple and a sip or two of orange juice, and that was it. I just wish I could fast forward a couple weeks until everyone is settled and well again!
