Have I lost my sanity? Yes, I think so!

Aiden is unofficially out of school for the summer. Wednesday his school called me to come pick him up telling me he was "dismissed for the rest of the year". Of course I think he is in trouble so I rush down there. Oh no, not in trouble, but his school decided because Aiden said he wanted to go home, Aiden could go home. After all, there is only a week left of school. On top of it all, they told my FOUR YEAR OLD he didn't have to come back to school if he didn't want to....um, isn't that my decision to make, not my 4 yr olds? But now he has it in his head he is done with school. I made him go to school on Thursday to participate in his end of year program and then I signed him out for the rest of the day. And at the end of the program his teacher announced to a class of 4 yr olds that they didn't have to go back to school if they didn't want to, because although their last day is the 9th, they stopped taking attendance after the program! So now there is a classroom full of 4 yr old that think they don't have to go to school if they don't want to. Luckily, I am a SAHM and I can keep Aiden home, but there are moms and dads who can't do that and now they are faced with a situation where they need their kid to go to school and the teacher already told them they didn't have to go back! Seriously!!! Not cool! But I am keeping him home anyways. Its not worth the hassle.

I know my kids drive me nuts at times, but I'm not sure when I officially lost my sanity, but it happened somewhere along the way. Todd left for 2 weeks for work, and what did I do, I offered to watch 2 more kids in addition to my own 3. And its not for only a couple hours a day, its 13 hours a day, every single day for the 2 weeks Todd is gone. 630am-730pm! What is wrong with me?!?!? I will say though, I am so happy to have only 3 kids. Every now and again I think about adopting a toddler, but I think at this point in my life I am good. Maybe when Oliver is older I might get that itch again. But for now, I'm all set with just 3 kids!

The problem I am having with watching these kids, is there is a 7 yr old boy, and Keegan HATES him. And I mean absolutely HATES him. He goes out of his way to terrorize this kid. Granted I have told the 7 yr old that Keegan doesn't like to be touched or talked to unless its on his terms, but 7 yr old insist on standing really close to Keegan, touching Keegan, talking to Keegan, so in turn Keegan head butts him, spits on him, drags him down to the ground and punches him, tries drowning him in a pool, throws books, sippy cups, toys at him. Keegan passes up no opportunity to walk by him and just ever so kindly give him a swift elbow to the forehead, or a quick pull of the hair. I don't know what to do. I've warned 7yr old to leave Keegan alone, and he won't. At this point I say, "you've been warned, and if you mess with him, he will jack you up!"
