The Day After (0 Comments)
After every explosion of activity there is the Day After.
They are not usually very pretty.
This one was no exception.
Everyone was tired.
People were cranky.
And it was all hanging out there.
No one wanted to do school. Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The Girls were acting like….oh, horror… girls! Oh, the whining, shrieking, tattling- it was all so, so, so girl like.
I, of course, the parent, the teacher, the adult, was the picture of calm, tranquility, peace. I was enthusiastic, energetic, full of vim and vigor. I was wise, patient and kind.
I am lying through my teeth.
The Girls took naps, including me. The Boy is much too old for that though, but he knew enough to leave me alone so that I could get one.
For some reason, the Day After stretched into the Week After and we are still out of kilter. Right now, I am just hoping for a better next week.
