I'm not sure wether Parker's incredibly terrible sleep habits of late have anything to do with my miserable mood, but life here is definately in the doldrums. The kids are fighting like cats and, well, dogs. I think the transition from two of them being in school all day to being home all day, all four, is hard on everyone. I managed to sign Tristan and Toby up for a two week long camp in late July and we are off to Vancouver for a visit with my parents next week, but I fear I am going to lose my mind before summer's out. Shane is miserable too. Totally. He's rarely present physically and when he is he's totally absent emotionally. For part of our holidays he wants to go stay at his brothers (empty) house on the ocean. Sounds nice, yet I know his brother is a complete slob and I will spend my holidays cleaning his house. Not my idea of fun - I'd rather clean my own! I don't know if I'm being unreasonable or not. Really, I just want to be alone or at least without the added stress of having my fifth child around.
On a separate not I watched The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou last night. Am I the only one who didn't get it? I mean it was funny and silly - is that the point?
