The wall…

I’ve hit the metaphorical wall. 

That glorious point in the kid’s summer vacation where they are at each other’s throats, trying to kill one another, and I am at theirs, trying to kill them. 

It’s bad.  Last summer I was locked in my bedroom with a stack of notecards and a textbook to read, and Jake was running the show.  I liked last summer better. 

Lily was gone for two weeks at the beach with some of my family…but, she’s the easy kid, so the screaming, fighting, and wrestling to the death didn’t let up at all with only 2/3 of my children at home. 

It’s just these boys.

I swear that they are literally trying to kill each other. 

Last night, I broke up a brawl.  Avery slammed the door in Jack’s face, knocking his tooth loose, and Jack went postal on him, and punched him square in the face.  Ave didn’t like that, and went all Ralphie on him.  Sitting atop him, swinging wildly, muttering under his breath, while Jack pleaded with him to stop. 

We’re going stir crazy, I think.

They’re a motley crew, my three…

And in the best interest of  my children’s mental health and physical well being…THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!

"went all Ralphie on him." Hilarious. Not that I'm laughing at your pain... ;)

Yeah, I don't know what I would do with a boy. I like having my daughter. I hear about the dreaded stories of my friend's who have boys. They say the boys are easier than girls but when you have more than one boy in the house, it's leads to constant fighting. Poor mama! Love the "Ralphie" scene. LOL

When do they go back to school though?

I hear ya! Only 26 more days to go for us...if they survive the 13hr drive to Ohio to visit their aunt that is :)

OH MY WORD!!! We have hit the same wall here and it's driving me nuts! The kids are just sick of each other, they are bored and finding "fun" things to do that include aggravating one another. All I hear all day is fighting and tattle telling... sick of it. Aug 23rd where are you?!

That's the thing about working full time, I feel like every day is the same as the last. i think I'd enjoy a long (ish) break, but I also don't have 2 crazy boys...just 1.
