Yesterday evening was not too bad. I left work at 5:00 and had to make a quick stop at Giant to pick something for dinner. So by the time I picked them up it was almost 5:40 and really dark outside. Sean got new words for his test this Friday. There are two 4 letter words and we will need to practice them a lot. We got home and gave them dinner right away. They had sausage, eggs and tatertots. It was my first time trying tatertots and I loved them. Of course anything carb is golden in my food vocabulary
Aji called and the kids spoke to him and of course Rhea had a big meltdown because she wanted to talk to him on the cell phone not the landline. After all that commotion and the quick chat Sean and I did home work – practiced the words and also did addition while Rhea watched TV. Sean got a ‘Star’ and ‘Super’ for his addition in school yesterday since he got all of them right. I’m glad the evening homework’s are paying off. It definitely makes the effort more meaningful and motivating.
I let Sean watch some more TV after his homework and it was almost 8:00pm at this point. Where did the time go? I had picked up Oreo cookies, so both of them had a couple of those before we went up to get ready for bed. Those are so difficult to get off the teeth, I had to literally strain my neck to brush them and get all of the Oreos out of their teeth. Not fun at all. Sean was really tired and slept in couple of minutes; Rhea on the other hand was just tossing and turning. Asking for daddy, water, her watch to be removed, and her dolly. After I gave her the dolly she said she doesn’t want it. So after 5-10 mins of that I walked out the door and then she launched into her big screaming cry…I waited for couple of mins went beck held her for a few mins and put her back. She went down like a lamb. I think she is really missing aji. Poor little darling. Of course in the middle of the night Sean starts his migration to our room and I guess lost his way and turned on lights woke up Rhea…total mayhem. By then I was beginning to lose it, I got both of them to the master bedroom and as soon as I lay down, Rhea wakes up asking for water. I dragged myself knowing she will not be quiet until she gets her water. I gave her a few mouthfuls from the bathroom. I was too lazy to go down. After that all of us conked out and woke up at 7:15am. They had oatmeal for breakfast, did a little recording for aji, got changed and were able to get out the door by 8:37. Few minutes later than yesterday but I got into work at the same time. Rhea cried at drop off today also, she did not want to go to school and kept saying that. I tried to distract her as much as I could. I think its also because I usually don’t do drop offs and it’s a difficult for her and also Aji not being around. She just doesn’t get it because we tell her to say hi to daddy on the camcorder and she does not understand when we say daddy will be back on Friday. Poor thing…I’m sure it is utter chaos in her little mind right now…I wish Friday would be here sooner.
