Well, the morning has started with the typical bickering between the boys as they woke before I did and haven’t had their meds yet. This was another morning in which I was awakened before I was ready. I could really use another 2 or 3 hours sleep, but that isn’t going to happen with the boys in the moods they are in today.
I don’t know why it is, but more and more #1 and #2 cannot be in the presence of #3 without there being conflict, usually a noisy one, and always over something ridiculously trivial. I’m seriously considering enacting a rule which states that they cannot leave their rooms in the morning if I am not awake. Punishment for doing so will be chores from hell and the offender(s) being my slave for the day.
I like the sound of that.
Actually it is probably a good thing I am up. I have a lot of things going on today to get ready for our leaving tomorrow.
Or maybe I’ll duct tape the kids into their rooms and go back to sleep. That sounds good.
