My blog has been sorely neglected. I have been busy. Blogging takes more then the 5 minutes I have here and there to actually sit at the computer. And If I have more time, I have been playing Scrabble with my sisters. It's my guilty pleasure. And, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. My life ebbs and flows. I feel like a wonderful wife and mother, at times. And then other times I feel like I am lacking in that department. I am in that department right now. Our family dynamic is not what I want it to be. I am struggling with trying to fix it. My nerves are a bit raw from the kids screaming at each other, and I can't figure out how to fix it. 5 of 6 and 4 of 6 have this love hate thing happening. It used to be more love than hate, but recently it has been 90% hate. The spend the day fighting and screaming and hitting and biting. They are 2 two year olds. I can't reason with them, I can ask nicely, over and over and over and over. My oldest has picked all of my worst traits to mimic. It's like hearing myself at my worst. My 3rd, blames everything that is wrong in his life on every one else, and is terrible to 4 of 6.I know this will pass, we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. I am raising them the right way. I just wish this would pass a little quicker.

i know exactly what you mean. well, maybe not exactly. did you notice that jane couldn't even make it though sacrament meeting with all the screaming she's been doing lately. that's two weeks in a row now being out almost the whole time. and it's worst during dinnertime. i'm debating whether or not to send her to her room for dinner. oh yeah, and all the fighting. at least it's warm out and i can send them out. then the neighbors can listen too. :)
and you have 6. i'm not sure how you do it all. i guess you just do. there's no other choice and no other way you'd have it.
Is there something in the water? Oh, the FIGHTING! I do NOT know if I can survive another week of it.
That is the hardest part of parenting. My kids fight a ton too and it gets to me. I wish I could ignore it but it gets me yelling too and then I end up with a house full of chaos and yelling. I don't know if it will get any better for us. We all fought in my family growing up and didn't really get along until we all started moving out of the house. Then we all became really good friends and close to each other. If you get some good ideas be sure to share! :)
