Dreaded Monday.

I hate Mondays! It just so happens to be the day my children sleep past 7am and I have to get up! UGH! Well, I checked my blood pressure this morning and it's really good my heart rate is a wee bit high but overall I guess I will live. Saturday was day 2 of my new bp med and I had a terrible headache. I felt bad all day. I think it was the medicine. I decided to take it at night so Sunday I had to go without all day and boy could I tell. Yesterday evening Bubba took a load to the storage building and Caleb decided to go crazy....I mean CRAZY! But of course not until I picked up the phone to call my mom. I had to call her back....twice. He was running in circles in the living room yelling 'I'm SPIDERMAN, i'M SPIDERMAN' so loud the other two kids were just looking at him like he lost his stinkin mind. He refused to listen to me so he got in trouble. Big trouble. I had to spank him, which was not a grand idea given my bp issue. Afterward, I was so upset with him I was shaking, I couldn't take a drink of my tea I was shaking so badly. I wonder how high my bp got. Anyhow, Bubba came home and restored order. I HATE that. Why can't he just listen to ME then he wouldn't get into trouble!

Friday we got a note from his teacher. He has been having behavior issues at school now. He hit a classmate on the head and was wondering around without permission AND fighting over 'line leader' and 'door holder' these are BELOVED positions in line for him. He can't be either one for a week. We had a talk with him and *HOPEFULLY* he will be better. He did have a good weekend other than the fit when bubba left. Caleb even did the dishes last night! YES, he got the chair pushed it to the sink and washed off all the dinner dishes so all I had to do was put them in the dishwasher. It was such a huge help. He loves playing in the water mostly but it was a tremendous help. He was trying to make up for giving me such a hard time earlier. He apologized a couple of times too. It seems like they are good when it's all of us but when one leaves or someone else comes over they go totally NUTS! Regina stopped by to drop off some stuff and they went crazy. There is no telling what people think. I would probably be like....whew, we are so NOT coming over here anymore, those kids are out of control! Poor Kim and Bubba! Heehee. No but really, are all kids like this???? Bubba thinks he is having terrible twos with Cohen. I don't know what to think.

Anyhow, my sweet little Kinser cut another tooth! Her top right, soooo cute! I felt terrible for her though, she was so fussy and her little eyes were all red. Ohhhhh, sweet girl I just had to hold her tons and tons. If I put her down she would shriek like a banshee! I'm waiting for the windows to bust or the glasses to crack in the cabinet. Whew, that girl can hit notes that will make dogs howl!
