Today started off EARLY, and by early I mean before 6am.  So I got everyone up and showered, we drove C to school.  He LOVES when we drive him.  It makes his day just that much easier not having to worry about one more thing. 
   After that.....the day went down hill...FAST!  I had some errands to run and only 2 kids.  Piece of cake right?!   HA HA.  Joke was on me.  Apparently it was run away from Mom day, in the parking lot or the store.  Thankfully it was a fast trip.  4 stores in about an hour. 

   Unfortunately N decided that he wasn't done being insane for the day and I really thought I'd blow a gasket.  Then...E decided to cut her hair while I was disciplining N.  That was about all I could take and once I started crying so did everyone else.  Then the best thing that happened all day happened.  It's a magical thing I call NAP TIME!  :D
    With everyone napping safely, I went to my room.  I'm sure everyone has those days.  Thankfully they are few and far between for me.  I know God has a lot more to do in people's daily lives than anyone ever thinks.  Because a few days ago I found a book on line and asked for it at the library.  It was waiting for me in my room.  It has EXACTLY what I needed to hear in it at that right moment to help me with my crazy boy and know how to deal with him.  (I never believed in ADHD until I had two boys with it.  The second one is a lot worse than the first and again God knows what he's doing, sending me one and having me decide to home school right before the second went in! ) The book was called how to get your child off the refrigerator and into learning I think.  Amazing for someone like me!  She  said how some kids don't realise WHERE they are, what they are doing, and that you have to find the right "key" to help them learn. 
     After he got up from his nap Daddy took him to the gym.  I thought about what she said while I did some pre-K with E and the new hair cut.  She is amazing, very patient and lets me cuddle with her and just read to her.  Girls are amazing.  I decided N would play a math game that I found today and he LOVED it.  He was adding with out it feeling like a lesson and asked if we could play it first thing the next morning too!  It's amazing.  The day may have started horribly but it ended with me understanding where to go with teaching N and how to make the days work better for us.  I'm sure I'll have more of those days, but hopefully with out the melt down before the answers come in.
