Day 1407. And again they woke up later than yesterday today, and it was once again Sammy, who was the alarm clock. After breakfast we went to Grandma's house. My 9 am student canceled, but I had one at 10 am. Randy was running an errand and only returned once I was already teaching.
At 11:30 we had lunch, then we returned to the house for their nap. Once again I had to wake them up after. We then returned to Grandma's house. I was still trying to get office work done, and Randy left on another errand, so I gave the kids their tablets, while Grandma played with Sammy. When Randy's daughter and grand-daughters arrived, I took the tablets away. Tammy then had one of her fits, and it lasted rather long. She was hitting and scratching me and screaming, wanting the tablet back, but it wasn't coming back. After a long time she finally quieted down and let Daddy hold her in his arms. Soon she started playing with her brother and nieces and was normal again.
At 6 pm we had dinner, but all the kids have been eating is corn on the cobb pretty much - and dessert. Once again I could not get them to eat anything else, so there was no dessert tonight. After dinner they continued playing. Sammy enjoys the cats at the house and the little dog, and he's constantly asking for Grandma and Randy's daughter. All three had been looking forward to playing with the water sprinklers outside again, but a storm came through, so it was not gonna happen. They were pretty upset. Emmy at least was hoping to at least watch children's spiderman, like they had the other day, and he'd been asking for it all day. So once we got to the house, they got to watch that for about 15 minutes. Then it was bathtub and bed time. I read them a story, prayed for them and put them to bed. It was going on 9 pm by then, and they were more awake than ever. Especially Sammy who kept asking for Daddy, who was not in the room. He only stopped talking after Daddy had been in the room for some time.
They were more or less asleep, when I got up to sit down by my computer and work on the pictures and the report. Now it's 11 pm, and I hope to go to bed, as I've been extremely tired and need some sleep.
