Day Three of Spring Break: Today is Another Day
This morning we're going to a local park. And then I hope the kids will play nicely in the backyard while I clean up the flower beds. Zach has hockey practice this evening and I'm without a babysitter again. Oh well... Greg's flight is suppose to land at 10pm and we're picking him up at the airport. Way past the kids' bedtime but since they don't have school tomorrow, it's not a big deal.
I know we have bad days to remind us just how good the good days are. But still... They suck! Actually yesterday was a fine day until about 4pm. Then it was like someone threw a screaming/fighting/crying/whining bomb in the middle of the room. Afterwards it was like trying to prevent an inevitable train wreck with a hair scrunchie. I'm tired of being the bad guy. This is why children have two parents, it's very hard to play the meanie all the time. I'm thrilled that Greg comes home tonight. He's a good meanie. *winks*
So I'm going back to the bare bones rules today and letting the rest slide. No hitting, no climbing on the furniture, no throwing toys. Everything else I'm ignoring for my sanity.
