at school today. Thankfully there was a small reprieve from the crankiness in the mid-afternoon when Schmoo had me all to herself and Bean was having a nap (finally!!!). Both kids greeted me at school with a monster meltdown. Schmoo was tired, hungry and demanding a playdate. Bean didn't like being taken away from his lunchbox at preschool. I managed to get both of them home and a quick lunch out on the table to quiet their demands.
Today was one of the few mornings that did not start extra early. Both kids were still fast asleep at 6:30am when we finally got out of bed. Obviously both of them had some sleep to catch up on after a long day at school yesterday. Our afternoon at home was quiet. After the lunch monster receded, I tucked the kids in their rooms for some quiet time and caught up on some work. I'm trying something new in order to focus my energy a bit better. The computer stays off when the kids are up and moving around. Schmoo is starting to demand more computer time and it is becoming clear that she sees me setting a bad example with my constant checking and typing. So with the kids in their rooms, I got an internet fix.
Schmoo and I had a few rounds of fish and Slamwich when she got up and then I went in to give my sleepy boy a big snuggle. Not much else to report really. Spent some of my internet time looking for flights from London for Nana, so hopefully we'll be able to organize something soon. Papa and I are going to enjoy a nice quiet evening at home together tonight. I got my gym fix last night so I didn't have to sneak it in tonight. Looking forward to chicken burgers and Lost on TV.

I like the computer time off.
It is a habit easily picked up by monkey see , monkey want to do. Good luck.
