All time parenting low

Is what I have hit.  I have taken to bribing C to stay in bed at night, all night, until there is a 7 on the clock in the am.  It works when I remember.  J has been traveling A LOT.  He was gone all week to Brazil, and then last week to NY and then this week to NJ and in two weeks back to Brazil.  IYIYIYIY Anyway C has started finding any reason to get out of bed several times before she falls asleep and then again in the middle of the night.  She is up 4 and 5 times in the first hour since putting her down and I hit the end of my rope one night.  Told her she could have a girl scout cookie in the am if I didn't see her again.  It worked like a charm.  Im not proud but a mom has got to do what she has got to do.  Yes the first words out of her mouth in the am are "can I have my cookie?"  They are thin mints so they are small.  heehheh at least that's what I tell myself.  That and a cookie can't be worse than syrup or poptarts which my kids don't eat ever.  It also somehow stops the night time waking.  The nights I promise cookies she all the sudden does not have bug visitors or snake visitors.  I will be in trouble when the thin mints run out.  I have also threaten J's life if he touches them. hehehe
