Addison is trying to stop sucking her thumb. 

 It is her new years resolution.  She is having a hard time transitioning.  Sucking her thumb is how she has put herself to sleep since she was 3 months old.  Now she is being forced to learn how to do it a whole new way.  To a 4 year old this is a big deal.  I am also struggling a bit because I am the one always reminding her and painting the nasty tasting polish on her thumbs.  She is actually grieving her thumb sucking....it is pitiful!  This may sound silly, but wow it is rocking our world right now. Addie's  bedtime used to be a very predictable structured relaxing time for us.  Now it is stressful and heart wrenching.  My hormones from the medicines aren't helping my moods any so I am having to try very hard not to be mega-bitch.  So far I haven't lost it...but I have had to call my mom a few times.  You know it has to be bad when a mommy has to call her mom.  My mom is such a voice of reason.  What she told me was just common sense, but I wasn't thinking rationally while Addison was crying"mommy" over and over.  When I got off of the phone with her I was able to take care of business without making the situation worse.  Anyway sometimes I just need an outside perspective.
