mattie g Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I just realized that we've been posting about azzhole toddlers in the June banter thread. My daughter is a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 hahah ***hole toddlers. i love it. so, i think mine has been sleep walking. she has been getting up in the middle of the night, almost every single night, for weeks now. she always walks to my side of the bed, and just stares at me. more often than not, i cause her to cry because she scares me and i loudly cry out, or jump awake. when i cause her to cry, she will respond, talk, easily walk back to bed. but there are times where i dont scare her, i wake up, ask her what she needs... she says nothing. just stares. i have to pick her up and put her back to bed. i didn't think it was sleepwalking, but it happened the other night while my husband was still awake and he said it was definitely sleepwalking like, she was oblivious to everything around her. so creepy. so weird.

smokeybandit Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 When mine first got his "big boy bed" he we'd find him in the morning in various places asleep. Floor of his room, hallway, once in our bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours used to get night terrors pretty much every night about an hour after she fell asleep. It happens far less now, but when she does she's completely out of it. Nothing we can do can shake her from it - she just needs to come out of it on her own. It's pretty freaky. I'd much rather have a sleepwalker!

mappy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 yup, we've had those too. just sudden screaming and fits in the middle of the night. would have to turn on the lights and make a sudden noise to get her to snap out of it. thankfully she hasn't had one in the while.

smokeybandit Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We really didn't have the night terrors, fortunately. Our friends' son had them really bad as it was very difficult to wake him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 a cousin of mine had a kid that had night terrors so bad that only a slap to the face would snap the kid out of it. It was very uncomfortable to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Yeah...night terrors are no fun. You try to do everything you can to snap them out of it, but they don't respond at all. Everything you read says to let them run their course, but it's impossible to do so. As I mentioned, out daughter doesn't get them as much any more, but when she does it's heartbreaking.

She loves swim team and that's over for the season now. Sorry for your daughter. I'm on a super competitive swim team, and one of our Olympic Trials athletes broke his hand during Warmups before his event during Trials. Get her healthy and back in the water, swimming is a great and rewarding sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Brewing my first beer since the beginning of March (and only the second since New Year's Eve). It's been a wild ride with the end of my old contract and finding a new job, but being a month into the new gig and having a three-day weekend, it was a perfect time for it.

All is again right with the world... Nice! What are you brewing? We just did a black IPA again this past Wednesday because it was so good a couple of months ago. The basement is about ten degrees warmer so hopefully the fermentation isn't too different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basement is about ten degrees warmer so hopefully the fermentation isn't too different. I remember you talking about your BIPA before. Gotta love when a beer is so good you want to brew it again! My basement varies by about 8° from winter to summer (58-66F), so I use a rope-handled tub and aquarium heater/ice bottles as needed to maintain a good temp. Works great for me! Mine is a hoppy American Wheat with El Dorado, Hüll Melon, and Citra. No bittering hops - one addition at five minutes and a 30-minute hopstand. I really like what the hopstand brings, so I'm pretty excited about it - the OG sample was really hoppy. I might be venturing into sours sometime later this year. I have to get some additional gear, so hopefully it'll be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 The nightly odenton/ft Meade backyard displays starting up again. Was pretty loud last night. Love fireworks...really wish we had more open areas around here where the responsible use of them was allowed. Kinda dumb for people to do it in subdivisions where houses are so close.

When I was little, about 4 or so, my dad tied my leg to the bed . I don't actually remember it though. I would get up in the night and create havoc they tell me. I pulled the Christmas tree down once. My favorite thing to do was to dump Comet and grape jelly on the floor and then get the vacuum out and go to work. I don't blame them for roping me in. I do remember the Christmas tree. It must have been traumatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
