Our kids got the Nintendo Wii gaming system for Christmas. I will admit that, at times, it's one of the biggest blessings...because all of our kids can play at once, so it's entertaining, interactive and keeps them moving when the weather is awful outside (and I can't send them out to play). It can also be my biggest headaches. Why? It brings about constant fighting, screaming, shouting and yelling. My kids can't calmly play the Wii together without someone crying, someone getting angry and ultimately, me having to shut the entire system down and make them all walk away.
So, today is the official "first day" of SPRING BREAK here in CT and since we don't have much of anything planned for this entire week off of school...I think I might have to admit myself to a psychiatric ward at the end of it. Why? Though I will trying my best to keep the "gaming time" to a minimum (hoping and praying that weather provides us a beautiful week to be outside together)...the small amount of time the Wii will be on...it could be quite harmful to my mental health.
Pray for me please! Pray that this SPRING BREAK week is a blessing for us to be together and the kids to enjoy a vacation from school. Pray that everyone gets along (for the most part) and the shouting, fighting, screaming and crying is contained to the bare minimum. I'd love that! I think we would all enjoy this SPRNG BREAK a whole lot more if we could all get along!
