I always find that after 2 days of pre-school, my children are much harder to please on a Friday than any other day. I am always torn on these days because as much as i want to reconnect with my children after 2 days of limited contact, I find it so hard to be around the constant crying, bickering and whinging that is doubled, tripled or quadrupled on their first day back at home.
today, as it is raining, i opted to take them to Lollipops, a local children's indoor play centre. We had a great time with the odd period of poor behaviour including 2 bites... damn, I really thought I may have avoided that one. Even so, i would still rack this up as a positive morning.
I was expecting that this would lead the way for a really good, long sleep but again, things have not gone as planned... 1 1/2 hours later we are awake, not quite refreshed enough and still whinging and cranky. Hmmm.... think I will just open the back door and let free play reign. I am at the stage where I want to do fun things with the children but I am too tired to think of something wonderful and too impatient for things to not work out the first time.
Maybe i should let Fridays be Fridays and not put so much expectation on them, afterall, not every day has to be wonderful and with toddlers, when does anything work out the first time??
