Well I think we might be on the up and up with sleep now. I RELUCTANTLY reverted back to trying Lola "cry it out" without help. And it seems to have worked. I know why it is referred to as a last ditch resort. I didn't have to hear her cry (I knew I would cave in) - Ryan listened to it. I slept in the basement with a sound machine right next to my face! It basically took her two nights of crying hard for about a half an hour. Not bad. Once in a while we still hear a small 1 second "shreak" in the middle of the night, but that's it. So now I am back in my own bed!
We visited the Stearns County Fair on Thursday. We had a nice time but overstayed our welcome I think as we all started to meltdown at the end! Teague (and Lola) went on nearly all the kid's rides, we saw every animal barn twice, ate our way through the other buildings then went grocery shopping and FINALLY home. I don't know who was more ready for the kids' bedtime - myself or the kids?!
The insurance adjuster was out to our house last Saturday. So like we thought we will be getting a new roof on the storage garage and our entire house, new siding, etc. There was damage to miscellaeous other belongings but I doubt we will replace those items.
Well tomorrow is already August. I cannot believe it. The summer is just flying by and now that we are all getting more sleep around here I hope we can "get out" and enjoy it more!
