This being Holed up in this damn trailer is getting to me. The kids have been whiney, bratty, fighting, demanding, you name it. Every day, all day. Usually, i would break up the monotony by going to visit my mom or something. They would get a change of scene, i would get a bit of a break, bc gma has a huge plaything for the kids and a huge yard to run in, out in the country. Here, they have a patch of grass, little toys with which they are bored with, and it's wearing on us. Yesterday, i woke up with a migraine that just got worse as the day wore on. I had bunco, but it was hard to look forward to when my head was throbbing so bad i would have liked to drill a hole into my skull for relief. When i arrived at bunco, kathy gave me 2 motrins and that almost immediately alleviated the pain. I was able to relax and have a good time about half way through bunco. Then, i got home and holy Hell if the kids didn't wind up like 8 day clocks and go nuts. This morning, sebastian started off with being a cry baby. He hasn't stopped much since. Makenneh is being a mouthy lil brat. For instance, she had some pickles on a plate and a fork. When she was through, she tells me to put her fork in the sink. HELLO? She kept insisting that i do and do it now. I am at my wits end. The fork is still not in the sink and ill be damned if i put it in there. Then the kids are constantly yelling at each other, fighting over stupid stuff. I just want to run out of here.
i can feel my headache trying to come back...the stress and frustration doesn't help. I keep reminding myself to relax my facial muscles and jaw, bc in frustration, i tense them all up. But, it is just non-stop around here.
Oh how i want my car back on the road! Im ready to run!

Fil every pan and bucket you have with water, put them all outside give them a gazillion plastic cups, sieves and spoons and let them at it, if you have cornstarch, put some on a pan and let them goop with it, you'll go mad if you try and wait it out.....good luck, our school doesn't finish til the end of July thank goodness, 6 weeks is more than enough for us!
Tomorrow is going to be a hot one!
When my older three were younger, I used to fill water balloons for them. An entire basket full. :) They had a lot of funt throwing them at each other. And they are pretty cheap.
They'd also squirt each other with old bottles from dish soap or shampoo. I would just keep filling the bucket with water.
Tomorrow is supposed to be so hot again. Stay cool!! Or at least try to.
