Ceiling light vrs. Lamp

Oh the joys of having more than one child. Being an only child myself I do not for one moment understand how you can have such hatred for someone one moment say such hateful and rude things...then. moments later share secrets and giggles when you should be sleeping.

So today child one worked 9 hours. I am sure she was worn out. Child two had homework she neglected to consider all weekend until 945 pm Sunday night. So as child one was hopping into bed child 2 was flicking on the light.

The ceiling light is too much for sleepy child....homework child insists bedside table lamp is just as bright,  but doesn't want to "waste " the bulb. Sleepy then stands in front of ceiling light switch to keep procrastinating child from turning on light.

So to recap,  sleepy is NOT sleeping and procrastinating child is STILL procrastinating. Neither listens to my reasoning. If both lights are the same value of brightness what should it matter to. Homework doer?  If you must stand and guard switch, your not Sleeping nor relaxing or laying down.

I obviously cannot stop this war. Not with reason,  nor shouting. So I leave it up to them....wherein the violence starts. Someone hits someone bites....yes one child is in her mid Jr. Year of high-school the other will be a freshman and yes...I said someone was BITTEN. no there was not an animal in the room. One. (Or both)  of my darling children (the story is not straight) has bitten the other. Awesome right.

Yelling persues. Now I am a horrible mother who does not Care because I didn't swoop in to break up the dog fight (that didn't involve dogs, but teenage children)

So as I write this sadly true tale....nearly an hour after the event took place miss sleepy lies, in the dark texting on her phone (read,  not sleeping)  and procrastinator sits in the bathroom stewing over the fact that she couldn't turn on her. Light in her own room....and looking at her war wounds and knowing its my fault they are there as I didn't swoop in to. Save her from the threats.

So yeah. There is a love story for y'all. My advice? Stick to just one child....or ages MANY years apart or have a house big enough for each to have its own room.

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...
