First Day of Summer Vacation....

Yesterday was the first official day of summer vacation for both kids....and it did NOT go smoothly....not in the least....there was lots of fighting and not listening with both kids....mostly the older one though....lots of me having to tell them to stop this or that, or treat your sister nicely and threatening them with no tv, no video games...or finally going to bed at 5pm that night....

This was not how I expected our first day to go...and I hope to God that it is not like this all summer long....otherwise I will not be sane by the end of it...and I fear they will not make it to the end of the week....

I know that they both need adjustment to being home together...its been 9 months since they have been consistently home with each other for more than 2 weekend days in a row....and even then there is daddy to help diffuse the situations that arise....but during the week its just me and the kids.....

So today we are starting fresh and I am praying a silent prayer that it goes better than yesterday....honestly it could not get much worse and if it does I do not want to know what that worse looks like!

PS I may or may not be bribing them with a kiddie pool purchase to keep the peace!
