Settling In

Well, since we have been home it was peaceful to chaos real quick. For about a week things were well. The kids were getting along great. They played in each others rooms, they went outside together they laughed and watched television together. Then came week 2. Now Nat and Hanna tell on each other for everything. Thye claim someone gave them something and the other person says it wasn't like that. They yell and scream and do they listen to a word Joe and I say??? No! Haylee has written sentences twice about hitting her sister. Hanna has written sentences and written a two page statement about why she did something and what punishment she should have. They have all been sent to their rooms to spend alone time or thinking time by themselves. Nataleigh is very whiny, all the time. It is loud and chaotic. I think in some ways it is effecting Joe's and mine relationship. We have been a lot more irritable and not had a lot of quality time together. I need to find peace in this house. Get back in the groove of getting a handle on things. Am I ready for a 4th? haha. Yes, I am and I love the challenge. I know as soon as we can get things going and keep them busier with school and lessons and chores etc. they will be a lot calmer. I have learned that Haylee is a huge help. She takes care of them when I nap, she makes their lunches and doesnt complain. She is a godsend and I appreciate her more than ever. I know we will find peace and I am happy that our family is together. Now we just have to find a decent church......
