What a week...

Whew...what a week! Monday, it snowed and so my 5 year old came home early from school...and he has yet to be back to school this week. lol. Maybe he'll go back tomorrow.

I love ALL of my children equally. One means no more to me than another. We have gotten a routine established for each week and it has been thrown WAY off this week. I love having my kids with me but I tell you, my boys could make a girl insane. lol! 

I must be honest, i HATE the parents that make each and every single day of their life seem like such a joy. Now, having my children in my life...that IS a joy. However, we all need to be honest and admit that there are some days that we just want to pull our hair out. lol...for example...

I have a 5 year old, a 3 year old and a 2 month old. The first two are boys. Having them alone (like when the oldest is in school) everything is fine. They will each play calmly and not yell or be upset. But buddy you get them together and they fight like there's no tomorrow. They love each other dearly. You can see that clearly in the moments when they think no one is looking and they hug, or when they call each other "buddy".  Maybe it's just having children close in age and the same sex. My sister and I are only 14 months apart and we fought all the time growing up. Maybe it's just a boy thing, My boys have no problem getting rough with one another. Until one of them gets hurt that is. Then here they come running. "He hit me" "nu-uh, he hit me first". Most days i just brush them off and say "if yall want to play rough, someone is always going to get hurt. and i dont want to hear about it::. Seems harsh but if BOTH of them make the choice to rough house, they don't need to be little babies and run to me when the other gets too rough. Now that's not so say that there is no discipline. My husband and I have watched one randomly walk up behind the other and either kick or hit. This is obviously not acceptable. They HATE what happens if they are caught being just outwardly mean to each other. First they are punished, and then I make them hug. LOL. Let me tell you, they don't like that at all. 

But hey - I'm guessing these young years are not the ones I should be worried about. Them fighting every once in a while at this age must be normal. However when they get to be teenagers....uh oh...momma may not be ready for that. lol! Oh lordy, but then there is also my daughter who will be a teenager.....

I should just pull all my hair out now....lol....
