Grrrr...

The monster in me came out today.  The Mommy monster.

How bad is it when you call your husband, asking him to come home and carry out the threats that your children are making to EACHOTHER (in terms of bodily harm)?

Yup.  Did that today.  Luckily (for them) he works an hour away and can't just run home to carry out those threats.

I hate it when my kids fight and fight with eachother.  Still trying all the things we learned in our Love and Logic classes.  But today was the worst I've ever seen two of my children go at eachother.  WHY?

That phone call is the only thing I sort of regret that I did today.  I feel bad for calling and whining to him.  Other than that, I handled it ok.

Won't tell you what I did, but I feel ok about it, so it must have been alright.

Hopefully, the consequences will keep another day like today at bay.  Really hoping they learned.  If not, I got more where that came from.  Ha ha (evil laugh).

Just kidding (about the evil laugh part).  I really do love them.  And I'm really sad for them that they made those choices today.  Angry too, but sad all the same. 

Anyway...

Still loving my new bike.  So much fun.  And we still have no cast.  More fun.  And my kids started swimming lessons yesterday, and had their 2nd class today.  They're doing great!  And they're loving it.

I also have taught piano lessons to two of my children so far this week, and it's gone great so far.  I'm so apprehensive about this.  Patience is not one of my best attributes, but I did pretty good today.  They both came away from the lesson smiling.  :)

I know those days all too well. Try making them sing Kumbya while swaying back and forth holding hands. Amazing how it works. :)
