It was just one of those nights. We came home and made rice krispie treats. Ashlyn dropped the spoon in the butter/marshmallow mixture and I had to fish it out. I fed the kids dinner (that they didn't want) and then gave in and fed them PB&J hold the J. Then it was a "mommy get me" kind of a night. Some examples are but not limited to:
Mommy get me a
rice krispie treat
no I want rice krispies cereal instead
water
ice in the water
blanket
bear
markers
paper
book
kindle
pillow
Can we watch Scooby Doo?
No I want Sofia.
She hit me
Ashlyn's not being nice.
Mommy where are you?
That's just a sampling. I also decided to move some furniture around upstairs which probably wasn't the greatest idea with two kids jumping on everything I moved. Then I told them they needed to get ready for bath and Ashlyn said she wasn't getting in the same water as Chloe because she peed during nap. We haven't had that issue yet. They always bathe together and are pretty happy about it. So, after a lengthy conversation, I bathed Chloe and then Ashlyn got in and bathed herself. She didn't seem to mind that it was the same water nor did I mention that information. Off to bed next. Is it bad that I punished them for 'not being nice to mommy' tonight by telling them they couldn't have a book? As a teacher, I probably shouldn't punish them by not letting them read....
So now I sit here thinking that I need to clean up the kitchen, pack lunches and bookbags, check papers, get the laundry from the dryer, and who knows what else. I just don't have the energy. Did I mention that I had a rice krispie treat for dinner?
PS At least Ashlyn ended her prayer tonight with "Please let us have a better day tomorrow. Amen"
Anyone else have those nights?
