The boys refused to go to sleep, on a few occasions, I fell asleep trying to put them to bed, only to be woken up 15 minutes later, because they were fighting. And of course, mornings was just as you described, except that their mom prepares breakfast the night before and the little was nice enough to remind me 'Where my breakfast?'.

I have to get a paper finished I forgot to turn in yesterday and it requires a book I don't have so canshetakemetothebookstoretoo...???" (like I'm not going to notice what he said if he says it really really fast)<BR/><BR/>I keep a spray can of water in the fridge. If they don't get up when my husband or I call (we gave up on alarm clocks altogether), they get the spray - too bad, so sad... it's not like going to school each day is just a suggestion LOLPageant Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703644358265856864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-14320462772751316652008-03-13T22:55:00.000-04:002008-03-13T22:55:00.000-04:00Boy do I commiserate.

It depends on the day.<BR/><BR/>The 17 y.o. refuses to take the bus, so I have to drive her. She almost always forgets something and we have to come back to the house, or at least wait in the driveway while she runs back to the house. Sometimes she'll have a fit she can't find certain clothes or books. <BR/><BR/>The 13 y.o. has to take morning meds. He doesn't want to take them so he'll either lie and says he has it or have a total fit. He doesn't like school so he pretends to be sick a lot. Sometimes they fight over the bathroom.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, kids are fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534849962517743534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-31613632926921681882008-03-13T18:39:00.000-04:002008-03-13T18:39:00.000-04:00I tell you, this is one of the scary parts for me ...I tell you, this is one of the scary parts for me with the whole having kids bit. I really want to be a stay at home mom for the first few years to be able to do this with a little ease. There are women out there doing this then heading off to work every day. I get exhausted thinking about it!
