Jessica is not sleeping well.  All day yesterday she was very moody.  Easily agitated and very bothered by sounds, smells and little brother.  She isn't playing with her toys as much as just lining them up in a big circle around her.  She doesn't want brother to touch anything of hers or to play near her.  She left her homework at school.  Said, " that she forgot it in her mail box." later she said, "Her substitute teacher forgot to put it in her mail box." then when her dad got home from work she Said, "it was her teacher's fault that she didn't have any homework tonight."  She is story telling the last few days.  Nothing bad just making up stuff that never happened. 

Bed time was 7:30 last night and 8:00 lights out.  We give her 30 min to read for school.  She was up and to the bathroom many times before finely staying in bed.  It was after 10 before she went to sleep the first time.  She was up and to the bathroom to many times to count through the night.   I work very hard at not talking to her after she is sent to bed.  I find that not addressing her being up or any contact with her helps move things along better.  This morning I asked about how she slept.  She said, "that someone shouting and throwing plates kept waking her up."   She refused to get up and get ready for school today.  Took almost an hour to get her up, dressed, breakfast and out the door for school.  I had to brush her hair for her and tie her shoes.  It was just more then she could do on her own today.
