Co-Sleeping And The Struggles to Break

Have any of you ever co-sleeped with a child or believe in it?

I, myself, don't disagree with it. My children are mine and sometimes they just need your love. It is OK to co-sleep with your children but let me remind you. Nine chances out of ten it isn't very easy to break.  Although when I became a mother, my mother is the one who got up with my daughter at night. I was a new mom and should have dealt with it. However I struggled with postpartum depression really bad and was on medication. to the point I had post partum blues.   From the time my daughter was 3 months old she suffered with ear infections. By the time she was a year cold she had 12 and her last one last a month long.  At 9 months old my daughter started sleeping with me.  It was easier to prop her up on a pillow and us go to sleep. Her ears bothered her worse at night when she would lay down.  Needless to say 8 years later I still deal with it.  Up until she was 6 and half years old we lived with my parents and I had another baby. So sleeping with me was the only way to go. When we moved out. It was a bad struggle because she still had her bubby in bed with her. Finally the go getter was when we seperated the beds and she was on her own. She didn't like that. Now after almost a year of living back in the house she grew up in and almost 9 years old. I still have to lay down (well sit) beside her every night until she falls asleep. Some nights she's good sleeps all night but 9 out 10 chances I wake up to her beside me. Sometimes after being up and down with her. I finally give in and just put her in bed with me.

Now I'm not bashing co-sleeping as you can see I have done it. Being single and still living with my parents it was easy and we got accustomed to it because we only had two bedrooms. But when we moved out the struggle of breaking my daughter is hard. So before doing it weigh out the pros and cons.  Because they don't stay babies/toddlers forever.

Caffeine=Craziness!

Caffeine=Craziness

I have often wandered if caffeine can make you hallucinate.  According to Weird Facts picture on Facebook they showed that I've shared. It not only can make you hallucinate, but hear imaginary voices among sencing the present of dead people. 

That alone may be the reason my sister thinks I am a semi-medium. Not that I can actually talk to spirit/those that have died and crossed over. But there's been a few instances where I get extremely anxious and nervous. Such as at a cemetery. Two other examples would be where my beat friend had her car accident and was killed. Every time I pass by her spot of death, I get really anxious and overwhelmed. When my childhood friend Roo funeral session passed by, as soon as the Hurst got even with my car. U began to bite my lip, sweating palms, and overall anxious. But as soon as I'm past the spot Tiff was killed, it feels as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulder.  As soon as Roo's hurst passed I felt normal again.  Can you think of another medium that becomes anxious when spirit is around? ..........

That's right!!!!! Mrs. Teresa Caputo

But unlike Teresa I don't feel or sense or even hear them talking to me. I just get real anxious besides the time when my sister and I were four wheeling. We stop not even a quarter of a mile from Tiffany's wreckage area. I become almost panicky and anxious and to this day swore I heard a voice say I'm OK.

Now after all this time I'm learning I am not as cool as Mrs. Caputo but the amount of Mountain Dew and Sweet Tea I drink. That the caffeine is making feel as if I'm sencing dead people.

** If I was not so tired right now. I would crop that photo and upload it, but until tomorrow if I remember. I will share the picture of Weird Facts.
