Today was the first day of our week long break and now that I've curled up with my pyjamas and favourite blanket, I can say that I hope that the worst is now behind us.
I had great ambitions for today...according to by agenda. Only accomplished 2 things off my intended plans and at that, one was not all that successful. Both #TeamA and #TeamO were absolutely WILD!!! And in WILD I mean, full on energy, attitude and zero listening ability. It is not typical that both are not behaving at the same time; there is always one that is the model child while the other is having the meltdown of a day. Not today. I had to raise my voice louder and more frequently than I ever like to, I gave out more "penalties" (timeouts) than I have in a long time, and I actually took all my stuff to the "spare" bedroom for a nap today just to get away from everyone. I had planned to get some robotics/coding activities out this morning, but since the toys couldn't get cleaned up in the living room, robots didn't get brought out. I bought a Botley robot a month or so ago and am dying to try it out, but have been saving it for the break as a special activity. Maybe tomorrow?! The kids also love using our ozobots, but that too will have to be pushed to tomorrow. I did try and sneak away to the basement to get a treadmill run in, only to be interrupted 25 times for this, that and the next thing (while DH was readily available). Thankfully I ordered our groceries online last night before going to bed, so they were ready for pick up first thing this morning (best service ever invented!). My only accomplishments today. Although these really are first world problems, I really hope that they are out of our system now and the remainder of the week is more settled. Skating and a craft are on the schedule tomorrow, after I hit the treadmill again!

That sounds like a hard day! I always have a hard time adjusting to not having a schedule the first day of two of a break. I wonder if the kids had this problem, too. Glad you were able to get away to the spare bedroom for a nap. Better day tomorrow!
