We have a big problem, and no workable solution in slight.

Two 3 year olds we are refusing to nap and sleep.

It's a battle challenging my mominess like nothing so far. At this point, I am losing.

I can't begin to tell you how a month of this is taking on our little home.

Can I blame everything on this? Ok, thanks.

I need to dig deep into my dark circled eyes to think of few things I am grateful for what with Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Here goes.

- So happy the grocery opens at 6am. I was there after the gym, a steady mess of folks already there before 8am, and picked up the rest of our last minutes ingredients.

- Grateful to know that so much of what I want to get down mustn't get done now i.e. the laundry.

- Christmas tree stand are beginning to dot the sidewalks. Crossing my fingers we have luck negotiating on Saturday. Love to put our tree up early and enjoy it as long as possible.

- The Thanksgiving parade is tomorrow morning! So fun and really convenient. Again, fingers crossed we get out the door and find a spot. Thankfully it's only a 3-minute walk.

- Forgiveness and hope. I will be asking for forgiveness tonight for all the harsh words spoken in trying to coax sleep or nap from the twins and hope that my creativity and patience will win out and we'll all be sleeping steadily again soon.

Well, that wasn't so hard.

And, now I am going to bed.
