First, let me start this by saying I really, truly, love my family. On that note, I'm thisclose to selling my children to the zoo, lol! Joshua being on break has wreaked complete havoc on Logan and his schedule, and Logan doesn't adjust well at all. Throw into the mix Logan's birthday, Christmas and New Years, and you've got what I like to call insanity... Plus Rick's been home a ton lately working on the basement, too. All in all, anything resembling Logan's schedule has literally been blown out of the water... I'm VERY ready for Josh to go back to school and Rick to go back to work. It's just really tough with everyone here. Everything is chaotic and crazy. At least during the summer, Rick is ALWAYS working, and the kids and I are rarely in the house, but we've got at least 20 inches of snow at my house, so we've been pretty much home-bound for the last couple of weeks!
Tomorrow I'm hoping for a shift back in the right direction. Wake up times will go back to normal, routine can once again happen, and Logan and I are even going to go to the library, like we do almost EVERY Monday, even though there's no preschool storytime until the end of the month. At least we'll be able to get out of the house and do a little of what we usually do. Logan is wired to need structure and routine, and that just hasn't happened for the last two weeks and the effects of that on him have been getting progressively worse since New Years Eve. He's been having meltdowns all day long, he's been getting angry and lashing out, and even being physical. I'm hoping that all starts to calm down once he re-adjusts to the routine again. I don't expect things to get better overnight, but I sure wouldn't complain if they did :)
So, here's hoping tomorrow is a little better than today was. I don't think I can handle another today, lol. Now that both kidlets are down for the night, I'm going to de-stress to Wii Fit Plus (yoga, anyone??) and likely take a bath before bed...
