Siblings are so much like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde it is still amazing to me.
Case in point first you have Megan and Sean. They can’t even be in the same house together without it becoming family feud not even 5 minutes some times of entering the house. Megan came sobbing out to the barn last night because Sean had grabbed her and squeezed her so hard her boob hurt but this is after a softball, deceiving name, was thrown at him. I was mad but I don’t have much sympathy for her these days because she is just as responsible in these fights as he is. But when bodily harm is occurring it’s unacceptable. So the ultimate threat has been played and hopefully there will be a cease fire for a while.
But take two others, Sara and Sean, and the story is totally different at least right now. Sara’s boyfriend broke up with her over the weekend and she was, as most of us are, devastated. I wanted to comfort her but Sean beat me to the punch. He was there hugging and reassuring her. It was nice to see. It’s too bad it takes something like that to make the true feelings come out of these children but at least I know they don’t really mean it when they say they hate each other.
Hopefully things will quiet between the younger two before the house or they themselves get wrecked. For now it’s just trying to stay warm and not go stir crazy because it’s so freaking cold outside. Keeping my fingers cross the pipes in the barn don’t freeze and I have to lug water from the house to the barn because Ian won’t be here to help me this year. He heads back to school in a week and a half.
Cleaning then swim meet at least I know I will be warm part of the day got to love swimming.
Stay safe, stay warm, feel loved.
