My Sons are Acting Out

And no it's not over school (although Xander and I did but heads over his spelling work today.  But I think it has something to do with what I'm about to write about.)  There has been crying, foot stomping (yes foot stomping... which is somewhat new to us), out and out defiance, and not listening.  And I'm trying to be understanding.  I really am... but is is so frustrating sometimes.

But at least I know why they're doing this.  My husband has been most busy lately.  Yesterday he had to go to a Light Show (he's an electrician) and today he had other things going on.  He really hasn't seen the kids in 2 days.  And tomorrow he'll also be busy during the day and we have a party to go to tomorrow night.  So he won't have any real time with them tomorrow.  It is taking its toll on the boys.

Last night Xander didn't fall asleep until Daddy came home.  He sat in bed quietly but no restful sleep and he didn't sleep in.  So he was tired and he had to take a nap after lunch.  Lucas, before I put him into bed looked at me with his big expressive eyes and said, "I miss Daddy."  I almost cried.  Hopefully, come Sunday we can have a nice family day.  My boys really need it, aww heck... I really need it too.  I'm kind of missing my husband.

JOYFUL THOUGHTS

-I'm happy my husband has a job that I can complain about.  I have to remember that when times get busy like they have been


I also wanted to thank those of you who comment both on the actual blog and my friends and family that comment on it to me over the phone or in person.
