Too Much Candy + Too Little Caffeine = Mommy Meltdown
I did something today that I rarely do (anymore...no comments Stepford Sis...I have grown up since we lived under the same roof) I yelled at my kids...loudly...and more than once. By the time I woke up this morning my kids had inhaled half the candy in their baskets. (Darn that bunny...got carried away with chocolate this year!) DQ was wired...seriously. The coffee was almost gone. Guess coach was feeling the need for caffeine today, too. Since DQ's cold/sinus/infection has not improved we opted to stay in today. Nothing like a day indoors with kids on a sugar high. (Damn that bunny)
By this afternoon I was done. DQ and flapjack were running circles through the house and leaving destruction in their path. My house was trashed (okay, exaggeration, my house is never trashed) and my patience was shot (not an exaggeration...I was seeing red). I'm sure my neighbors heard me...and applauded cause I'm positive they were tired of hearing my kids screaming, too. (We had the windows open to enjoy the fresh air...and allow the neighbors to share our joy on Easter.) I banned them to their respective rooms so we could all have a little peace and quiet. Then I took a nap...remember I said too little caffeine?? (And, hey, I cooked today and everything...doesn't that mean I deserve a nap?)
When I woke up (to wails and tears and drama) DQ showed me her new shiner...that she got while taking a bath...in her swimsuit...while playing with assorted kitchen utensils and mermaid barbie (really, don't ask). Apparently flapjack snuck in the bathroom while she was playing/swimming/making a holy mess and pushed her face first in to the soap dish. Okay, I left them banned to their rooms and an hour later there is a tidal wave in my bathroom and my kid has a black eye.
Tomorrow my kids are going with their dad to visit the grandparents. I am not invited...really, that's a good thing. I will have an entire day to myself...ahhhh...can't wait.

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
