Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Wow...ok so I recognize that Logan isn't napping during the week and Nora is getting readjusted to napping at school and as a result took a 40 minute nap this afternoon but between the two of them this evening I thought my head was going to explode.

Now the logical side I know that both of them were suffering from lack-of-sleep-itis. From the minute we got home from school Logan switched into whine mode, at least Nora found work to do but I had things I needed to get done, I do feel guilty that she wanted to play and I couldn't seem to get there fast enough, however once I did she acted like she didn't want me to. I've tried being patient but whining is just one of those things I can't deal with, especially after a day of whining and crying. I lost it several times tonight and yelled, she got mad because we started reading books at bedtime without her after she was asked several times to get her jammies on and pick out her clothes for tomorrow.

I want so badly for things to be pleasant when we come home from school and enjoy our few hours together but its really hard right now, I'm feeling like a bad parent tonight.
