So, I spent the morning trying to keep the kids unified in their activities so I could be with them all. I read a stack of books and fed them and that is all we got done. The house is a mess, the chores are not done, barely any homeschool completed. But, we did spend some positive time together and I dealt with a couple of Brenn's tantrums in a positive way. And I really enjoyed reading the books to them. It was fun.
But when they wandered off to get something or do something, I found I had very little tolerance for waiting for them. If they were gone for 30 seconds I was looking around for a magazine to read or wanting an activity to keep me busy.
Now I need to bring the house back on line. It's discouraging to think I can't keep the kids interactions positive and stay on top of the house. It's like it is all more than I can handle.
