So today started off great. Danny was excellent this morning. He got ready and everything without any fighting. We left early enough to stop and get breakfast and just enjoy the morning. He is my little man and it is rare to spend some quality time with him, even rarer for that time to be in the mornings. John Michael and Brandon stayed home in bed while I took him to school.
Anyway. Brandon, John Michael, and I were able to get a good bit done in the house today, still have a ways to go but progress was definitely made.
After school it was like a Monday lightening rod hit the house. Danny was not minding at all, refusing to do his homework, and pitching an all out fit. I do not know where those genes come from but they need to disappear. Needless to say he is grounded, which means no Chess tournament. John Michael is grounded which means no birthday party. Part of me really wants to cave, but the other part of me knows that he has to learn a lesson and I am concerned that this might be the best way. They have both got to realize that this behavior is NEVER ok. I am going to bed praying about what to do. I know that I do not want this to be my summer and I think that carrying through with the punishment will be best.
Well, the boys are in bed, and trust me that was no fun either. Now I am headed there. I am praying that this weekend improves otherwise the only time we will go out is when we go to Mass. Not that we can afford to go anywhere, but we can at least go outside, but until homework is done even that is not happening. Mainly because of the horrible fit that happened this afternoon.
I will pray for all of you. I hope that your weekend has started off on a lighter note than my own! I also hope that it continues to be a great one.
Beach countdown....29 days!
