Reality Check

So do all 10 year old boys think they are like your mini me? Let me clarify, like do they all think that they can tell their younger sibs what to do just because they think they know what you would want them to do...." You girls go to sleep now! No more playing...stop making all that noise!" Now granted that was what I wanted to say but what makes him think that he is in a position to tell them what to do? did I ask him? Did his dad ask him? ...'Say son, were not sure how to handle getting these girls to bed, could you handle it for us... we'd be so grateful'....In his dreams.
I need to ask these questions in hopes that I am not alone in my search for sanity. I think they my kids, are very cool people .I need to make that very clear, but I have to admit that I never knew an 8 year old girl could scream as loudly as mine can. And apparently my 4 year old thinks we are a family of super heroes because she is absolutely fearless, I swear one day I am going to miss it when she is vaulting backwards off my bed into my arms and we will both be in for a shock. I think I am prompted to write this now because I am returning to school, well sort of I will be going via distance but I also home school and sometimes I just need to talk to a grownup to keep some perspective. so bear with me and I will try and keep it light. I know you are not really here but it beats talking to myself in the corner and who knows, maybe you are out there...watching me....
