I thought a little scenery from our beautiful mountains might help to calm everyone!
After the dinner I just had with my family, I need some calming. This is one of those, "I could drink this entire bottle" nights! If I actually did that, I wouldn't be getting out of bed at all tomorrow. It started yesterday with one little man, Brenden, that could not be consoled no matter what I tried. He cried off and on all day for periods that lasted for almost an hour. Towards the end of the day I was seriously beginning to wonder if something was really bothering him. I even got out my medical books, and a book on how to raise the perfect child if
I wasn't their Mother book, and didn't come up with much. So, I chalk it up to a phase, which is where I place most things that I can not find a concrete explanation for. Then, we have today. Things seemed to be going much more smoothly this morning. I handed the correct cups to the right boys, they each ate a snack without throwing it at me or on the floor, and they went down pretty well for their naps. Then, out of nowhere, the crying picks up where it left off yesterday, and again, there is nothing that can be done for him. Also, Garhett is joining in on the act. Two little boys sitting with their Mom in her bed, just screaming. I had to stop making dinner so I could sit with them and try to help them. So, I decide maybe they are hungry, put them in their chairs, and all is fairly calm...until Addy becomes pissed that Apryl took her salad bowl!! Brenden and Garhett finish an entire bowl of pasta, and my getting up to get them more sets G-Man off, big time! He cried through the rest of dinner, along with Addy yelling at Apryl and refusing to eat. I was looking for the calgon, or that magical remote control that stops everything in it's tracks! Then, my oldest who is witnessing me have a near meltdown , FARTS at the table and precedes to laugh about it, I grabbed my food and headed downstairs! I couldn't take any more, Mom was DONE! I am writing until the little monsters are in bed, and I can have some peace....okay, I can't write until they leave for college.
