Yesterday was kind of a rough one as far as first day of school breaks go. I forgot an important lesson I've learned which is PLAN PLAN PLAN. Get together with friends, go out to lunch, go to a playground. Do SOMETHING, anything to keep them busy, active and not fighting. Pretty simple. Only, I forgot that and instead planned to clean in the morning and then take them outside to play in the afternoon.
It didn't take long for me to realize the cleaning in the morning thing to happen. Shortly after I woke up I got this weird vision thing that happens sometimes. I've heard it called a "silent migraine" where you get the aura that sometimes comes with a migraine, but not the headache. I did have a headache to be honest, but not that kind of headache.
Anyway, I tried to take it easy but with four kids running crazy that is an impossibility.
Like the first day of break last year, we had an injury. Fortunately, no ER visit or stitches were necessary this time. Just some neosporin and a giant bandage. I'm all for tradition, but we can put this one to a stop right now!
Like the summer time, Ben didn't nap because there was too much going on and he didn't want to miss it.
Once I felt a little better I did manage to get some cleaning done, and even remembered to lighten up a little and let the boys have some fun.
Overall, not a horrible day once I convinced them to be NICE to one another. Santa is coming after all, you guys!
