Solutions

Thanks to all of you who have commented and helped to put my mind at ease regarding my hair scare. I'm still just a tad worried, but there is nothing I can do about it (thanks annonymous, I won't try the vaseline trick, it is good to learn from other people's experiences! I'm also glad you're not bald). So my solution is this:I think I will start looking for those wide head bands too. I hope the hat and head bands don't contribute to the problem. Regardless I love this cute hat so much I'd wear it even if my hair wasn't falling out!

Some other solutions that have been mulling around under my hat are:

1. I need to destress. Exercise is a great way to get endorphins flowing and encourage seratonin production (happy hormones) so I thought I'd give this a try.*
2. On the bed time routine issues I am choosing to let Mike put the kids to bed as often as possible! This means I scoop ice cream late into the evening, but hey that's ok with me! As soon as I get my hands on some stickers and blank paper I will try a checklist routine. It will help me keep on track at bed time as much as the kids.
   

There is one more thing that I'm considering. I'm still too wussy to commit, but this seems like a good thing, though I know it will not be an easy thing, and I'm afraid I'll cop out and feel worse than if I'd never tried. Still thinking, but really, I know I need to do this.

*K so, I did the initial tests for sit ups, squats and pushups. I'm on week 3 for squats and sit ups, but I'm on level 2 Week one for pushups. I'm not bragging that's for sure! Just keeping track.
Also, I joined twitter and will be studying Prayer, the Great Adventure by David Jerimiah with the 5:16 Gals. Wish me luck.
