Post-call #5
Apr. 9th, 2004 09:34 pmSotired.
Picked up Chris fairly early, brought him home, major fight about 20 minutes after he came home, worked it out, he went to sleep and I took the kids to my mom's, had lunch, back home, Justin's nap and Daniel's playtime, talked to Daniel about friends, played Imaginext with him, finished a short story, woke up Chris and Justin, chatted a bit and refereed the boys, made dinner, ate, put all the boys down and posted story. Phew.
I'm really glad we're more able to work through fights these days. It seems like stuff gets at least semi-resolved. Massive therapy and counseling counts for something, I guess. Now if we could get to the worked-out stage and bypass the fighting stage, that would be really great. Not likely to happen during heavy call time.
I really really have to get Daniel out to spend time with other kids, away from our neighbourhood. The kids on our block are completely incapable of playing pretend - or anything else, really, other than violent video games. Occasionally during the summer they play organized sports, which Daniel doesn't like, or Yu-Gi-Oh, but otherwise they almost exclusively watch TV and play video games. It's depressing.
