But I assessed the situation and determined how I could do better with the nighttime routine . That is when I usually get upset the most with the kids. I always tell them I am off duty at 6 pm. Well that works well with Mario home, but not so well when he is not. So I guess I am going to have to stay on duty until at least 8 pm when Erin goes to bed. Eric is pretty much a non-issue. He just does his thing and stays out of trouble.
Last night went much smoother. I made dinner and had the kids clean up. Then we called Mario and had scripture study and prayer with him on speaker phone. Then I read Nate and Zach a couple stories before putting them to bed in their favorite spots-Zach in my bed, Nate in Erin's bed. I took Eric to YM and Erin and I watched a sappy love story.
I am hoping tonight will go as smoothly even though we will get home a little late from karate.

You just have to deal with one day at a time. Sounds like you're doing a great job dealing with what life brings your way.
