Possible Rewind

Do you ever have a morning you wish you could rewind? Today is one in the Crain Household. The children woke up very early in funky moods. I wish I could redo my responses at breakfast.

They boys need everything to be exactly the same. I thought the amount of milk was the same. We put them next to eachother and they were even to the millimeter. Well, Sintayehu didn't think so. He started whining and yelling at me. This is when I got frustrated, FYI there were already three or four fights prior to breakfast. I then picked up Sintayehu's milk and drank it all and set the empty cup in front and said now you have none. I immediately regretted the very stupid move and told him when he stopped yelling he could fill his own glass.

Man, oh man!!! Where is that rewind button when you really need it.

Gah, I'm sorry. Things will get easier in this regard. The kids were like that when they got home, and as they learned English and became more comfortable, we told them that not everything in life is going to be exactly the same. They get that now. Sometimes they whine, but it's less. Much less.
