Today we had a VERY rough afternoon. Mondays and Tuesdays are hard in our house because Addie doesn't nap, Alex is tired from being up early and Zach is still recovering from our busy weekends. I usually pick the little ones up from daycare and get home around 3:20. Alex gets home around 3:45 from school and it is a toss up how the afternoon will be.
Because Addie does not nap on Monday and Tuesday she is usually very crabby by 4pm. And when she is crabby she likes to cry and whine and also pick on Zach. Anything Zach has she HAS to have and will take, which of course makes him yell at her, and her cry and me want to pull my hair out.
Today was especially bad. Addie was really crabby, Zach was really crabby as well, like really really crabby, and then Alex got home and all hell broke loose. Alex didn't want to clean his room so I got a garbage bag and started throwing everything on the floor into it which of course caused more tears and me probably gaining some gray hairs!
So after I wanted to stick ear plugs in and pretend my kids weren't around the house calmed down. Addie and Zach took a bath which always makes my kids happy and Alex decided to go lay in bed and watch you tube videos about trains. Addie passed out not to long after her bath, and less than a hour later Zach was asleep. After a little while I realized Alex was being really quiet and when I peeked into my room at 7 he was sound asleep.
Which means that even though the afternoon was really crappy at least my night is going to be a little better since all the kids are sleeping and the house is nice and quiet.
