The back home "blah" feeling

We have been back since Sunday, I am just now finally doing laundry..shame on me !! Cocoa Beach was wonderful as always !!! Pics will be posted soon !

I had to read the riot act to my kids yesterday..........they have not been wanting to do anything and everything is a fight ! This goes from the moment they open their eyes. No getting dressed, brushing teeth, hair, pick up rooms, etc, WITHOUT a fight !! It is ridiculous !! Anything I suggest is met with rolling of the eyes, groans, tears, tantrums................................this can not go on. Seriously !

I think Sofia is the only one that got it, she got up this morning, had breakfast and got dressed. Yes I did remind her, once. She also made my bed, as a surprise !

Lili would just hang in front of the tv all day, NOT allowed. Sebastian just wants to go to Walmart....................I don't know what his thing is with Walmart, he would be happy being pushed around in a shopping cart all day !
Max is in VPK (voluntary pre k) which is just as well, he has been impossible to deal with ! Setting up and appointment, his meds are clearly not working, super defiant, no impulse control, he's a mess ! So the more routine the better for him.

In all honesty I am dreading our Pensacola vacation in a couple of weeks. It won't be just us, there will be family, and Max gets 100x worse when he knows he has an audience. Manipulation for professionals people !!! He has been behaving more and more like a RAD kid (reactive attachment disorder) it is very hard to deal with !

He is engaging, charming, cuddly, all smiles, hugging, ESPECIALLY to strangers. Anyone that tries to make him do anything.............forget it, that's when the devil comes out. When he first started the VPK program, everyone loved him, now the real Max is coming out. It is heartbeaking to see and I am so, so worried about Kindergarten !

I better go get the first load of laundry out of the machine, if not I'll be in tears.
