We're home
I will make this short and probably not very sweet. How is it that when a few of your children are gone for the biggest part of the day can come home and start this amazing whirlwind of chaos in a matter of seconds. Everyday my two oldest children go off on their way to learn and be taught things that I am sure I can not teach them. Everyday they come home and the chaos begins. I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, climbing on counters, entering rooms without knocking, constant fighting between siblings who have not seen each other all day, whining, crying, just complete CHAOS! What in the world happens from the time they get off that bus to the time they walk in the front door? I would just really love to know. My patience is tested daily from the hours of 4pm to 6pm. Right now, Malorie and Lucy are fighting and screaming and I hear banging, oh wait, I am going to tell on you, now the ever so predictable cry and screams and stomping of feet. Lucy delivers the tattle of Malorie leaving the zone which she was put in and now I must go. Any ideas on what happens or how to fix this frustrating time of day....I am all ears.

All I can say is " PATIENCE" They will out grow it my, my girls were so mean to each other and say mean things to each other. There were days I would go into my bedroom and lock the door, I needed to get away. Now they are so close and they love each other more than I ever thought they would. The other thing is "LOVE" you need to make sure that they know that you love them! I think that is a big one! If you love them they will one day love you back, They might not show you love right now but one day they will. Dont give up on them, they need you more now then ever. Keep smiling, because tomorow might be a better day!

Hang in there. Sometimes, well even alot of times it seems it will never end. It does get better.
I get flash backs when I read your post. Find some part of the day that is just for you even if it is only a moment. Sometimes that is what gets you through the rest. I agree with Penny. Lots of LOVE given even though you feel like screeming. So hard somedays. I think it is wonderful that you can at least express your feelings. Remember that there are alot of us out here that are willing to be your support group. Nothing is harder that being a parent. You are doing great. Rmember that you aren't the only one feeling like you do. Love you tons!
Hang in there, this too shall pass. (possibly like a gallstone, but it will pass!) Ha! Ha! I think you're doing great, keep it up!
Uggh! I so sympathize with you. The first hour home after school is always a hard one at my house too. Noone wants to be bothered by each other. Hang in there your doing a great job.
