Puff..and Other Stuff

Good Things:

  • We finally saw the last Harry Potter film.  Good time for all.
  • Eating at Chipotle Grill
  • Setting up therapy appointments for the kids
  • Annoying some of the kids in the car by playing one of  my youngest sons' favorites Peter, Paul and Mary so he could "sing along" (If I Had a Hammer...lol)

 Challenging Things :
  • Having to watch the boys vigilantly all the time and they still get in trouble
  • Looking for my boys who think they can just "disappear" in the neighborhoods despite our rules for where you can go and how you get permission
  • Arguing/babbling/hyperactivity/lying/immature boys ALL day
  • One son rebelling against every day stuff, wearing a seatbelt, picking up a sister from band camp
  • One of the sons breaking something valuable in the garage (don't know which son)
  • Leaving for half an hour to pick up ADHD prescription (with 16 year old daughter and boys home) and coming home to a mess and reports of threats of bodily harm with instruments
  • Kitten climbing into my shower that is being constructed and falling into the ceiling below with a thump (yes, the infamous kitchen ceiling) and thinking she might be badly hurt! Thank goodness I put a wood board there and she managed to make her way back up and is fine
  • Committing frogicide when I took out the recycling and stepped on a frog. 
  • Having few options for a break since son got suspended from Boys and Girls Club on the 2nd day
  • Pondering that school doesn't start until late August..and that one of my sons is suspended the first week, so it's no clean, fresh start
