Can you hear that??

Huh.....can ya can ya? I cant hear it either. Silence....... glorious, sweet, amazing silence. I love my kids to death......but this has been a week from Hades! Jhordan was home allllll week from school. And even with fevers of 104 he didnt slow down at all. Only one day did he succumb to the pain and sickness and sleep......for a whole 45 minutes! So the countdown to Monday when he can go back to school is on. He hasnt been sick to his stomache since they switched his medicine. So thats good. Nothing worse than telling your child that the medicine will make them feel better, so they take it (after a 20 minute fight LOL), and then get sick. I swear he was shooting daggers out of his eyes at me for that. But all is good now. Clayton was feeding off my vulnerability of no sleep.....fighting with everyone, talking back, doing things he knows are wrong. I swear I thought I would be bald my weeks end, But so far am surviving!! Rachael usually isnt a problem......until one of the boys start buggin her. Which is exactly what went on Wednesday. No school that day, was too cold. I think they could have stood being left in a snowbank for a few hours LOL And I am sooo tempted to put crazy glue on Claytons face....then he cant take his glasses off! Not once last week did he bring them home. Where are they? In his desk! If they are in his desk everyday, how is it possible that he is even wearing them at school. He has every excuse in the book for leaving them there. Thursday he said they were evacuated out of the classroom and he couldnt go back for them. I was like O come on.....evacuated??? Where do you come up with this stuff kid. Then I went through his backpack......sure enough, the boiler blew up and was emmiting some kind of (non-toxic) gas into the elementry end. So, I swallowed my pride and apologized for snapping and calling him a liar. Took me til the next morning to realize.....hey...he was able to get his jacket, skipants and bag to come home.....why didnt he grab them then? But I let it go. I remind him every morning to bring them home....yes mom I will. So now I have employed Rachael to ask him everyday at the boot racks when getting ready to get on the bus if he has them. Lets hope she has a longer memory than her brother!! But since the kids are down for the count, and Matt aint home yet.....I think I may go pamper myself. Heres hopeing I dont fall asleep in the tub and drown :)
