NO TIME!

Will there ever be enough time in the day to do what is needed? This day is sooo long for me and the boys. To begin with, it's Monday. Don't we all just love Mondays?? After trying to get 2 not-so-morning-persons boys out of the bed, dressed, fed, teeth brushed, lunch & backpacks ready, and then try to look like I tried to brush my hair (after my shower of course), grab something quick to eat from the fridge and haul all of us out the door, then our day starts and we're off to school. Austin is pretty self-sufficient, with a few reminders. I keep forgetting to make him a visual chart, which I'm sure will help his daily routine, once I remember to tell him to read it. He can dress, fix, and feed himself, and make his lunch. Cameron also does his part by putting on the bottom half of his wardrobe. He hasn't figured out how to take off and put on shirts yet. Anyway, after school is over, we pick up Cameron, who has decided lately that biting ( a past behavior that got him almost kicked out of Montessori)is his way of telling others he is mad. This is the 2nd day that he has bit another child in less than a week. Any suggestions for biters? I thought we had passed this behavior after he learned to speak in sentences and use his words rather than actions. Back to Monday routine - we run home to allow Austin to change into Taekwondo (which is in Southside) uniform and get his football pants and cleats that he changes into as we drive from Southside to Cave City (about 20 miles or so) for football practice until almost 8pm. Then we get home, bathe, try to do last minute homework if it hasn't already been completed or have a fight over it because I don't explain it to Austin in terms that he can "get it" and then fall into bed. Eating, oh yeah, it is usually in the car on the road, but at least we're eating together! So, Monday's aren't necessarily blue, just a little long! I will say good night from one tired momma!
