Calgon Take Me Away!!

Remember that commercial years ago--a woman has a rough day or few days (I can't remember which) and so she fills her bathtub with hot water and adds Calgon bath stuff and then gets in and says, "Calgon, take me away!"? That's how I feel today. Olivia has been over-the-top naughty this week! I don't know what her problem is. EVERYTHING is drama and trauma in her little world. She is crying at the drop of a hat, she wants it to be her way or no way, she is picking fights with Zach and Hannah, she is just plain being NAUGHTY!! Hannah is also being "so the drama". Matt told her to clean her room today and she had a MASSIVE breakdown and cried for 1-1/2 hours. Just when we got her settled down--she got herself all worked up again and cried for another 1/2 hour. Zach is being ornery. I think he is not getting enough sleep, combined with the hot weather--that makes for quite an ornery boy. On top of all of that--they are CONSTANTLY fighting with each other! I am going CRAZY!! I have adopted my mom's cure for stopping the fighting by making them sing "Love At Home" while standing face to face. Neither of the older 2 like it so all I have to say is, "Do you want to sing?" and they stop but then they just start up again. So, after all of the trauma, drama, fighting, sassing and just being naughty--CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!
