So Annie is off school all this week due to conferences, and Emma only has school tue and wed. Already they are driving me crazy! Don't get me wrong, I love my girls, but lately they are FIGHTING constantly and I am seriously fed up! Today I have introduced a new consequence: fining them 2 sillybands apiece when they fight. We'll see how it works. But really, by 9:30 this morning I was ready to lock myself in my room....
We did go on a hike to a sandbar today which was fun. They didn't fight the whole time, which was great. It seems like they only fight when we are hanging around the house. Maybe they are bored. But sometimes I just need to get things done around the house, you know? I wish they could just play together nicely. I think part of it is the age difference. I think it would also help if they didn't have to share a room. But alas, we cannot afford a bigger place. So I guess we will all just have to deal.
I have been thinking alot about my eating disorder recovery lately (as a few of you might have noticed from some rather lengthy comments on your blogs). When I get up the energy I will post about it. So stay tuned for that.

i too look forward to reading your insights. you've grown so much. and your comments are always thoughtful and caring and smart. i actually asked someone to read one of your comments, because it was so powerful.
i'm sure every parent knows exactly what you mean. you handle it all so well and wisely.
i always laugh when i read that angelina jolie has one nanny per child. a different world
whaaat? One nanny per child? What's the point of being a mom if you aren't going to, you know, BE A MOM!
Just one more reason to hate her I guess.
Meep. Can you think of a fun game to keep them busy for awhile? Hide and seek or fox and geese or something thats fun and involves running? Something they can do with each other and relatively out of your hair (even if they're loud). Do you have a yard? My parents used to just kick us out of the house! Make us come up with things to do outside. Haha. Anyway, hope you're doing well!
