O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree.....could you please take yourself down and get packed away so I can work on the other things in life? Such as the laundry pile (I really need underwear), playing referee to the kids, the dishes in the sink, playing referee to the kids, reorganizing for the new gifts, playing referee to the kids, cleaning the bathrooms, playing referee to the kids, gathering up the trash, playing referee to the kids, feeding the dog, playing referee to the kids......are you noticing a trend???
Today has felt like one big battle....maybe it's the fact that we havent been out much due to the temperatures? or maybe we have been out of our school routine for too long, but the kids seem to be getting on each others nerves. Not that they don't normally argue, but it just seems worse today.
I would love for them to just stop yelling at one another for the day...playing with their new things, or just sitting around watching a movie together without a battle....is this too much to ask? A quiet afternoon would be nice....while watching them enjoy the time they have with each other. They are growing so fast, and will one day, sooner than we realize, be going off on their own to live life...So today kids, enjoy the time you have together, play nice, respect each others feelings, treat them in the way you want to be treated, and give this mom a bit of a referee break.......
Oh, and I might like to have a shower today too.....
skip the shower. be a dirty girl. and i've read that making kids who won't stop fighting sit with their forheads touching for a long period of time can be a good way to deal with it. i think you should try it.
