when patience is fleeting

When I woke up this morning I couldn't wait for my boys to come home I counted the hours and then the minutes.... we went to fetch them we hugged and they told me about their week and their weekend... and then it started.

Loghan kept annoying Gabriel, he touched EVERYTHING Gabriel was playing with, he broke down his tower and chased him around, in turn Jesse didn't want to share anything and since Gabriel is already going through the whole middle child  thing it only made him squeal and shriek for the better part of the evening spent at my parents place, now my mom has very little patience so you can just imagine how much fun that was!

We got home and they seemed to settle, they all bathed in turn, I read them stories and sat for a while with each in turn, until it was time to go to bed, then Gabriel started up again calling out to us every 2 minutes which set Loghan off in the other room because he couldn't think strait with the noise and set Jesse off downstairs because he couldn't sleep, we spoke nicely, which then led to speaking sternly, then ignoring and then eventually a hiding... my neighbors must have thought Gabriel was dying because one small hiding which I do not give very often and the monkey child screamed the house down... he apologized I hugged him and we spoke again and they both in turn calmed down, I said goodnight and no sooner was I on the last step down than Gabriel was up again... sigh.

They are now both fast asleep but my blood pressure is still elevated, and I am in desperate need of a glass of wine, sometimes these monkeys drive me unbelievably insane... but then I will go upstairs just now to peer in and they will all be sleeping sweetly as if nothing even happened I will kiss them all on the cheek and they will murmur sweetly in return, my blood pressure will settle and all the lovely endorphin's that come with the love for your kids will release leaving me to wonder why I got so frustrated in the first place... sigh... monkeys I tell you... absolute monkeys.
