So I had one of those days yesterday… the kind that makes me wanna trade in my kids for monkeys and have a rest… or QUIT and go back to work! “YOU think I am trapped here! I can quit if I wanna! …kinda… I CAN GO BACK TO WORK WHEN EVER I WANNA… kinda…” was heard at one point I am sure… in a raised voice…<\/p>\n

“Don’t look at me like that! I can do attitude too!”<\/p>\n

“TIME OUT!”<\/p>\n

“GO TO YOUR ROOM!”<\/p>\n

“STAY IN YOUR ROOM!”<\/p>\n

“STOP ATTACKING YOUR SISTER!”<\/p>\n

“DON’T BITE YOUR BROTHER!”<\/p>\n

“Get that out of your mouth! NO, put it in the garbage! OH GROSS!”<\/p>\n

“Oh for Pete’s sake WHAT IS THIS!”<\/p>\n

“YUCK! You are grossing your mother OUT HERE!”<\/p>\n

“GET DOWN!”<\/p>\n

“STOP ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR AND SSSSSSSSTTTTOOOOPPP SCREAMING!!”<\/p>\n

“… oh bother… no one is listening are they…??”<\/p>\n

I was out of breath before lunch…<\/p>\n

Today was different though… I thought of everything I could take away AND I DID and then, cuz they where still smirking at me, I hatched a plan. I woke my kids up at dawn, even the littlest two, marched them out to the breakfast table with a smile, feed them and gave them the schedule for the day… a strictly laid out schedule involving plenty of chores…<\/p>\n

Funny but they’re in much better moods today and no one is attacking one another or mouthing off to me,<\/p>\n

…and I am still smiling. <\/p>\n

THOSE DAYS do end:)<\/p>\n
