Ahhhh

Well it's finally the weekend.  It has been a long week.  I suppose this is simply because it's the last full week of summer vacation. (Insert Hallelujah Chorus here).

My husband made the comment last night that the boys have been fighting a lot more here lately.  My response (well the one out loud anyway) was simply that they need a break from each other.  In my head however it was snarkishly where have you been the last 3 years.  These two have been together basically nonstop since June 11.  There is only so much brotherly love to go around.  I figure once school gets started back, I will have about a week of semi serenity.  The boys may actually miss each other a little bit, maybe just a smidge if I am lucky.  Then normalcy returns and I am once again a referee.

My boys share a bed room.  There is no neutral territory in my house for them.  I am however taking it upon myself to fix this.  These two have way too much stuff to contain in one room.  Thing 2 fusses because Thing 1 messes the room up after Thing 2 cleaned it...which is really just something else to fuss about.  So I will once cooler weather arrives, begin cleaning out the spare bedroom and moving Thing 2 in it.  Thing 1 can stay where he is currently, he likes the bunk beds, Thing 2 wants his race car bed back.  So I have found myself a project.  Let's see how long it takes to finish this one.
