This week did me wrong. Monday was good. I mean Monday was great! First day on my own with all the kids. With minimal arguments,things got done, it was perfect!
Theme of the week: CRAP.
Tuesday - Highlight of this day: over flowing toilet.
Exhausted since little monkey didn't sleep Monday night. School work didn't get done till just before bed. I did manage to clean out from under my bed though. Even found a video game that's been missing for months.
Wednesday - Highlight of the day: I got pooped on. Tamarin thought it was funny.
Better than Tuesday. The older two didn't want to nap so I set them to cleaning the toy room. Lydia's first time to go outside. We played outside for a long while and the girls played in the bathtub for an hour. Thought I had this figured out, we'll have a good day, a rough day, a good day, a rough day. I had no idea.....
Thursday - Highlight: Dog poop in the living room tracked through the hall. Dirty diaper chewed up in Tamarin's bedroom. DEAD DOG. Not really. He's outside in time out.
Skipping nap two days in a row was a mistake. The older two have been running throughout the house screaming, waking up Capuchin, taunting Howler, arguing with each other. The decision of what would be for dinner caused all kinds of trouble. Then after I made dinner they were too busy fighting and arguing to notice the cat eating their dinner. THAT'S IT! Bedtime came early. Also schoolwork today was like pulling teeth. Tamarin suddenly forgot how to do basic math and threw a fit each time I erased it and told her to try again. Chloe kept asking me to read to her, each time I attempted Capuchin would start crying. To top today off Chris had to work late, still waiting for him to get home.
NOTE TO SELF: We have naps for a reason.
