so today was the first of our new lifestyle. it went okay. hubby got a lot of work done. i cleaned house but couldn't vacuum until tonight. i worked at trying to keep the kids quiet and in one side of the house. with the exception of the storm and a few fights they did okay.
the kids and i spent the afternoon running errands. they did pretty good. the last 1/2 hour was rough and of course coming home is always the end of all of our ropes. for whatever reason, the moment we get out of the car they both start in. one needs a drink, one is starved, one said something to the other, one wants to watch something....i just want to unload the car and get stuff put away. but hey....i guess that is really the norm.
hubby did take the kids with him to a project tonight. they were gone for just over and hour and it was heaven here. i checked email, took a long walk, vacuumed, and started a magazine. then the door opened and the wants and needs started. i think i've created helpless kids!!!
off to bed....well, princess is back to her old tricks with the screaming and crying about being scared. i was trying to work on the computer and type some stuff up. but i knew i was losing my cool....so i grabbed a new magazine and sat on the back porch. i was kindly reprimanded by hubby for my parenting skills at bedtime and came back out to work. i got a few things done at the church today. i can do the internet stuff but i can't do any word documents. but it is after nine and frankly i'm done. i don't want to think anymore. i've been keyed up all day...
so i am boiling some water to make some relaxing tea and then head to bed. hubby handled the transition well...i, well, i'm gonna need to adjust!!!!!
