First Day of Summer

Ok so one is up at 7:00 am with me on the first day of summer. I tell him to go back to sleep it is too eary. So since we have been up this am it is now only 8:00 am and I have not been able to do one thing without an interruption. I am tired and angry because I really really wanted to have a bit of a morning to myself and so I am going to have my pity party. WAAAAAASA

So far when I first came downstairs I had to remind this child there was no TV, then to change his clothes (they were smelly) and that started an attitude that I had to quickly remind him that this was not acceptable because he was tired since he has been up so early. Then I had to remind him after he had gone upstairs that the one room he should not go into is the room his brother is in. That is the first room he went into..... so then he comes down within 5 minutes and wants me to fix his telescope that he just took apart. It is only 7:20 am at this time.... no coffee and no he has not changed his clothes.

Then he goes up and changes and then tries again to get me to help him with his telescope. I am ok now since he has changed his clothes and he has tried. I then remind him that Mommy needs a moment.. (no coffee yet)

Now we need cereal... it is 730 am.. I tell him he can get it himself. No I can't he begins to whine.. I then have to explain he needs to try and that whinning children will take naps since they are up so early.... he tries, he CAN and he makes the biggest bowl of cereal. it is now 7:45 am... I had to remind him that he needs to take his medicine, he needs to eat ALL the cereal etc...

Now it is 8:02 am and he is in by me at the computer and wanting me to fix batteries in another toy. Have you finished eating? NO have you taken your meds? no but Mom I am cold and full.................... if this is the way the WHOLE day is going I am in big trouble. The toys is fixed because the child that cannot eat his cereal or take his medicine has figured out that he can open the new battery pack and unscrew the gadget he wants new batteries in and replace them. Now he can't screw it back together so guess who's arm is grabbed as she tries to write (type) please help me.

It is now 825 am and he still has not finish breakfast, or taken his meds, or finished with the gadget.... BUT he has not fought with his brother so I guess it is a good thing.
