Let There Be Peace
Sendith thou children back to the halls of knowledge and peace shall reign down upon thee. Mommy 51:50 My kids have been fighting like two cats in a bag. They are officially sick of each other. The problem is they’ve been around each other way too much. The house of brotherly/sisterly love is on vacation. Gone are the days of a hearbreaking work of staggering preciousness when my children had a 7-hour school day to miss each other and were eager to play nice with each other. And I am, in turn, about to lose my mind if I hear one more wail of injustice, one more screech of pain inflicted (physical, emotional or retaliatory), or one more shout of “Hey! That’s not fair!” My children’s animosity toward each other has escalated to such a degree that the first words out of their mouths to each other when they wake up is a below the belt shot. The intensity of conflicts seems disproportionate to the petty reason for fighting in the first place. Many times, they don’t even know what they’re arguing about anymore. In fact, it reminds me a lot of the War in the Just send everyone back to school. Until then, just put on a Full House DVD. ☺ ☺ ☺ 3 comments from 3 users

As a teacher, I have a very different interpretation of this back-to-school time. :( I am happy for you though, and I hope your children go back to missing each other soon. Good luck until then!

Ahhh, yes, the Square Nanny (as my husband calls it). I just don't get what they have to fight about. I would kill for time off with nothing to do. posted by

My hats off to you. I only have one (even if he is 14 1/2) and feel your pain. I savor each day (because I'm feeling the twist that he will all too soon be gone), but also am counting the days. It will be here before you know it!
