I'm sick today and I wish I could just go to bed. The boys played pretty good together when they came home from school. Everything seemed fine. Then they decided to play on the swings. We only have two swings. Sarah was on one swing and Thomas and Philip fought over the other swing. They fought hard and loud. I'm sure everyone in the neighborhood could hear them fight. When I came outside, Thomas had the swing, and Philip was crying like a baby. He probably should have been sent there and then to bed. When a child acts like an over tired 3 year old having a meltdown...nap is the right answer! I wasn't thinking straight. Remember, I'm sick. I told Philip To push Sarah and let Thomas have the swing. I would pay him. Two minutes later they are fighting over who gets to push Sarah. They looked like they were playing tug of war, and poor Sarah was the rope! I sent them both to their room to cool off. Sarah went to play with a calmer more reasonable Nicole. When I wouldn't let the boys disturb the girls Thomas started to throw his toys around the room. I then made him clean his room. Then I had to discuss what they had done wrong all afternoon. Oh how I would love to just go to bed! I think about the words to the stupid Beatle song “All we need is love”. I red this morning John Lennon’s sons have finally started to talk to each other after 10 years of disagreement. They probably fought over a swing set too. Love sweet love…love is all we need indeed!
