clock … watching time, the only true currency

Not quite sure what went wrong today, but the kids were at their worst today. Everything started off normally for a Saturday, and life was normal through mid-morning. Somewhere before lunch, both the boy and the girl just seemed to lose it, and most of the rest of the day was a wreck, with crying, tantrums, and whining. Lots of whining. Whining doesn’t seem like a strong evolutionary strategy, as all it engenders in parents is a feeling of total rage which cannot be acted upon.

Let’s hope we find the proverbial right side of the bed tomorrow.
