Three of the boys got in trouble today at school/daycare and are subsequently grounded from video games this weekend and not allowed to “camp” out in their rooms, as is our custom on Friday nights.

Ri had gone nearly two weeks without a daytime peeing episode, and three times this week, he’s done it again. He also took off running down the hallway when he was supposed to line up. Ry got in trouble for saying potty words and acting like a baby instead of following his teacher’s instructions. I should be glad that they don’t bite or try to set things on fire, right? Argh – sometimes I just have to keep perspective when it seems like everyday, someone is in trouble.

D. is grounded from the bus for a week b/c he got his 3rd infraction today (standing up & crossing the aisle/switching seats while the bus was moving … first 2 were for fighting). Apparently, it doesn’t matter how far apart the infractions are; they’re cumulative. So, this is the 3rd one of the year.

On a positive note, they all did great at Parents’ Night Out at my folks’ church tonight. I had psyched myself out for the babysitters to tell me that they had problems, but thankfully, they all got high praise.

I’m mentally exhausted from the day. I warned the boys (the three little ones, in particular) that if they wake me up while it is still dark outside tomorrow morning, then they WILL be grounded from tv all weekend.
