7:55 and the girls are in bed
But not after we decided to have a knock down drag out fight which resulted in tears all the way around over who got to spit their toothpaste out first into the sink
My husband – master of eloquence- who is lacking in patience after a very trying day and lots of battles of wills – simply said “spit it out and go to bed- no special YouTube video tonight”
This led to rivers of tears “because it is not fair”
To which I gave bedtime hugs and am covered in kid grossness because tears and told them that tomorrow will be a better day … and maybe next time – they won’t try to murder each other over toothpaste spitting 🤦🏻♀️
Of course most of this is just because they are tired – they are sisters and really they have been through a lot in the last month. Also I did mention that they are sisters and are prone to wanting to fight.
And because not five minutes before above mentioned brawl – I told that them I won’t let them stay up with the brothers all night
You know – according to them – they are old enough 🙄 so they were already looking for reasons to be grumpy.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
