Chaos
Am thinking on this education lark.
How, precisely, are you supposed to be able to do anything with your easily-distracted 6 year old, when your 2 year old has a shriek that can shatter glass at 100 yards and your 3 and a half year old loves nothing more than to torment the 2 year old to the point where the shriek is one continuous ear-splitting noise?
That's without taking into consideration the fact that the 3.5 year old has to do whatever it is her big sister is doing, except with none of the finesse and twice the enthusiasm, but only for 2 minutes at a time, by which point the 6 year old is throwing a full scale strop refusing to do antying as the 3.5 year old is 'spoiling everything' and the 2 year old in the meanwhile has been in the freezer and found a forgotten bag of frozen broccoli and strewn the contents all over the kitchen floor.
Boarding school has never looked so good.

ah. One of those days. My sympathies.
Mine too! Hope it gets better. Remember even boarding schools have summer holidays ...
((hug))
Many sympathies and much understanding.

((((Kris)))) - look on the bright side - baby piggies! (chunter, chunter)
Yes, definitely sounds like one of those days! And I thought it was hard enough with one child, lol. Kris, would love to meet up with you at some point, maybe September, at Normanby Hall or elsewhere - you can email me at nikki@elysian.co.uk :-)
