My sister and I took the kids out today. There's something completely exhausting about doing that with a child with ADHD and one that's too little to diagnose but has all the signs. It'll be a long time before I do that again. Not because they were bad but, because I'm stinking tired. Like could conk out and sleep past 4:15 and completely miss picking the hubs up from work, tired. That's a bad tired. But, we built memories today and I will put up with a case of the sleepies for that.
I'm taking a time out and they're playing in a fort I built. Nothing fancy, just blankets over the end of the bed and draped over furniture. It made them happy and, it was something I could build easily. I hear belly giggles and jokes. The little one doesn't get them but, she'll giggle along with her brother just the same. I hope these are memories they'll file away in their heads and hearts. That would make me happy. I have memories like that about my own big sisters and I.
The little one just told the big one not to eat her fingers. That can't be promising. *Sigh* aren't we too old for finger eating?
We did have fun, but I agree that it was exhausting. I fell asleep on the couch. I *NEVER* do that... I really did have a blast with you and the kiddos. If we do it again, we'll need Momma!! :D
