Ben is out-of-town for a few days and while we will miss him, I am hoping for some much needed down time. With Ben gone, dinner is simpler, the house is messier and bedtime is earlier:) As you can see, there is pro's and con's with him gone:) This week however, I have some really tired, grouchy kids that need 7pm to be bed time with NO LIGHTS and NO T.V.'s! My Monsters that used to be AWESOME sleepers are now up until almost 10pm every night and then are tired and grouchy in the morning! I will use this week to "try" and get back into a routine for bedtime. Let's hope we can get it done!
Tomorrow we need to finish Declan's Native American project and Killi has some homework to get done. It would be nice if I could get some school work done myself this week!

Today They Earned Their Name!
It gets to a point when the fighting is just too much! When you just cannot hear One more time how Every other mother is better than you are. When it is like pulling teeth to get ONE positive thing to come from their mouths! And what is BEST is when this all peaks on a day that YOU are trying to be nice and do fun things! Fun things that are not CHEAP! Because really nothing is better than paying for someone(or three someones) to treat you like CRAP!
I think I do ALOT for my family and moat if the time my family does do for me. And I understand that in every relationship there are points of give and take and that is not always even, but when you are doing and doing and have so much to do for yourself that you keep putting off, it just gets annoying!
So, after a movie and dinner at Sakura, and lots of hating eachother and me, I have decided I am done being a mom today. The Monsters can fend for themselves!

Mundane
That is how life has been around here since we returned from Florida. We are trying to get back into the swing of things and it seems to be taking forever!
Ben is traveling ALOT! The weather has been cold and gray for the most part and everything else is pretty routine. Winter in the mid-Atlantic is nothing to write home about. I guess the only good thing to say about it is that it doesn't last too long!
The monsters are all good and pretty busy. We are working on switching the kids rooms so that the girls have more floor space. But before this can be done we need to paint. Declan doe not feel he should have to sleep with sparkly flowers on his wall and Ben agrees:)
Declan and Killi have pinewood derby races coming up for scouts that Ben will hopefully be able to attend unless travel gets in the way:)
Really nothing else to say for now!
