Wow. I am having a hard time being thankful today! I have been yelling at my kids all morning (and it's already 8:30). They have been going at each other since 7:00 this morning. I currently have Katherine on my lap "fake crying" according to John. So when I was yelling from the bathroom trying to keep the peace and I heard the chaos continuing I wondered if I was a "helicopter parent", you know the kind that hovers around. For some reason I think that is a bad thing to be.
So I am trying to let them work it out as much as possible. I did do that one other time when I was on the phone and just didn't want to deal with the screaming. I went into the bathroom (interesting) to continue my conversation. I could hear the screams of bloody murder, the tears from both of them, the pauses while they attacked each other, and then I tuned it out. When I finished talking on the phone and came out of the bathroom they were playing together quietly.
So what am I supposed to do with these kids of mine until 3:00 when we can eat? Man am I a grouch today! Grrr.

Can I send mine over too? We're eating at 2 so I'll pick them up then :)
I have ALWAYS considered the bathroom to be a peaceful sanctuary of solitude.
Oh I so have those kind of days. I go in the closet though and hide. I should keep a stash of chocolate in there I might last that much longer and be that much happier when I come out!! I really liked your title!! Funny!!
