The Chaos.

The Chaos.

Be it morning or afternoon it's inevitable that there's chaos in my home. Most days I just deal with it like a boss....But then day's like today, I'm ready to just walk away.


NICOLE SKY'S LIST OF REASONS WHY SHE NEEDS A VACATION:

1) The major temper tantrums in the morning. You would think that after the five millionth time that I told my children if they PUT THEIR SHOES IN THE BIN AT THE DOOR, that they wouldn't have to try to find one..ONE...shoe every morning and have a melt down. Dylan and Aiden are notorious for this.

Or the major melt down when my daughter doesn't want me to brush her hair.

Or how my Eldest son doesn't want to walk to school because he's "too tired."

2) Getting into the car everyone has assigned spots. For whatever reason in this world Dylan or Aiden cannot figure this out. I don't know why they try to switch seats, I don't know why they fight about it, I don't even know why it's a big freaking deal. We are going like five blocks away! Why is so hard to just get into the suburban, buckle, and we can leave!

3) We have a rule on the days that the kids do not go visit their other parents (for the kids that do)  you come home, you eat your snack, you do your homework, then your chore, then free time (unless we have sports practice)....Again, for whatever reason in this world the kids fight with each other about their chores as if it's any of the others business how well they are doing their chore...They whine, complain, and scream about all of it. Why is it so hard to comprehend that they're not going to get out of their daily routine by stalling?! If you shut up and just do what you're supposed to..MORE FREE TIME YAY! and less time I have to yell.

and last....

4) As much as I LOVE JackSepticEye & Markiplier.....I am SO SICK AND TIRED OF WATCHING THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don't think I'll ever have to play a single video game in my life because I can just already know what's going to happen watching other people play video games.




AS much as I am complaining today...I do love the kids. I just get tired sometimes. I need a Margarita and peace and quiet.

Why you gotta be so rude?

My children instantly put me in a horrible mood when I picked them up from school today. They were having trouble following through with doing their home work and chores. So that put me in even worse of a mood.

By the time I dropped Alex off at football practice and Dylan, Aiden,  Miley, And Joey off at Bible quizzing.....I started to feel better. I had thought about buying the kids ice cream and telling them we can start our moods over...etc etc.

That was until I got a God awful report from my friends at the church that my kids, with the exception of Dylan, we're bad...And had to be put in time out.

If I were a cartoon, I am certain that to illustrate my anger I would have steam coming from my ears.

After ripping into the kids for fifteen minutes about acting rude to me but to people at your church?! So I drove my happy butt to the store and bought ice cream for the children who were behaved and grounded the children from anything fun until tomorrow evening.

They cried and pleaded, but this Mom did NOT budge.


They have a chance to redeem themselves and have some ice cream tomorrow...But to add insult to injury the ones who behaved will get MORE ice cream.


And then when I thought to myself if I allow my kids to be rude to me....I am leaving the door open for them to be horrible to others. I have got to put my foot down more. I am not going to raise disrespectful jerks.


*sigh*

Until next time...
