So yesterday I went to work. Although it had its own set of issues, it was a welcome respite from the Banshee and Entropy. Today it was back to full time child care as they both had off school and their mother Da Queen was off visiting her mom. While I was cleaning house, they decided to create a typewriter out of an old shoe box, pipe cleaners, fake flowers and pens. I have to admire their creative spirit. What I don't admire is their attempts to keep playing with it after lights out. I don't mind giving them my full time and attention during the day; but after bedtime is my time to relax - and I guard it jealously. What made it even worse is DQ got home very grumpy and tired and immediately went to bed. I asked the kids to be especially good to be considerate to their mother - do you think it mattered? NO. I keep telling myself that this is just a phase and I will look back on these days with nostalgia - but I am having a hard time seeing it.
Thanks for reading.
