Hello!! Its a wet day around here. Right now we are having a crazy thunderstorm and its anyones guess how long the electric will stay on. So if I stop blogging.. you know whats up.. it seems fitting because there is no kind of sunshine around the Jaggers House today.
Its been another crazy day around here....The boys have been at it all day. I woke up really early to them fighting.. I dozed back off..woke up at 1030 to more fighting.. then they fought before lunch.. during lunch.. and then for a few minutes after lunch. I am fed up with them both right now. So both are done for the night. Right now till Scott gets home they are in separate rooms with no tvs . I am pretty sure both are sleeping but even after they wake up.. they are still grounded till tomorrow. I don't want to see or hear them any more tonight at this point. I will let them have their tvs but they are both in trouble. Brittany has been good today.. I think she knows how upset I am and knows it could be her too. I don't know how to make both boys get a long better. Both are being brats..and they missed out playing the rain and even the drive in tonight. Grrrrrrrr... I think if they want to make their days miserable.. then ok.. but when it really effects me.. thats not ok. I think they need to know that they are family.. like it or not and everyone should treat each other with love. But they are friends one minute and the next minute yelling at each other. Probably normal for two 9 year old little boys right?? I am just tired of hearing it. So with that said.. today they both are realizing how tired I really am of their constant bickering. =( I talked to Zanes mom and she thinks separating them for the day is right too. Anyone who has two 9 year old little boy experience.. feel free to clue me on how to make them get a long!! I will take all the emails I can get on the subject! mrskishajaggers@gmail.com. It totally takes a village to raise a child! I called husby for support and he talked to them once today and then they started right back up. But I can promise you they both are going to be quiet for the rest of the night! Shoot.. I thinking tonight might be perfect for a big bottle of wine! And maybe husby will come home and fix it all! ♥
I have some shopping to go out and do later tonight so maybe I will get a brake then. So I guess that bottle of wine will have to wait for a few hours. I am so thankful that Scott will be coming home around 6 - 630 tonight. God knows, I need him home.
The good thing about today is I have accomplished getting laundry put up. That was a huge job within itself.. but its done and I only 2 more loads to go before I am caught up. I need to wash the bedding tomorrow.. so now I have the space to do it. Our laundry room is small for such a large family. It has cabinets, a big shelf and the washer and dryer.. but still its too small. I can only think of one house we had that had the best laundry room.. and that was the last house we lived in while we were in Ohio. It was huge.. and handy!
Anyway, both boys just came down.. I had a stern talk with both... and allowed them to turn on their tvs and to invited them to spend the rest of the night alone in their rooms.. and that they both should feel lucky that have tvs.. because I think reading a book would be better! I am thinking some kind of insentive chart would maybe help. And also scheduling time on the xbox, ipad, playstation, wii, ds, and laptops might also help. Isn't crazy how the kids have so much more than we had when we were kids??? I had a pretty good child hood toy wise.. and I didn't have 1/2 the shit that my kids do. They fight over all of them too. And talk so badly to each other while playing the games. Its nuts.. I am hoping that after they realize that today is not the kind of day they want to have again. And when they can get along they can have the game systems back. That's the best plan I can come up with.
At least its quiet and there is no fighting going on right now.
