I know any mother with two same aged children is going to be exhausted, but here is a list of things that Priya and Lakshmi have done in the last 7 days.
Smeared my lipstick on Lakshmi's face and pillow on my bed. Thrown my cell phone across the room, causing it to break (the old one). Have a food fight with peas and carrots. Mark all over my favorite book with markers. Priya pooped in her pants. Lakshmi pee'd on the bedroom floor. Priya got the hair cut tape and taped Lakshmi's bangs, and cut her bangs and some on the side. And raised the wooden blinds in the bedroom. All of this was done while I was sleeping, and the latter was done when I had NOTHING on but my tee-shirt and undies!
Ahhh! I take multi-vitamens, I drink plenty of water, eat right, and I am still totally exhausted. Mostly Priya says "Hey Lakshmi, go get this or that" and Lakshmi does it most of the time...and gets caught, instead of Priya. Now, I listen to Priya giving instructions to Lakshmi, and before Lakshmi can do it, I catch Priya in the act.
No matter what I do, Priya won't stop doing these things. One of them put a bunch of stuff in the VCR. If there was not a tape in it, that stuff would have ruined it!
When we adopted Priya, she came with attachment disorder. She has a hard time following rules, and challenges them. She especially likes being in control and so she gets up early, wakes Lakshmi up and they do all these things while I am peacefully sleeping. Sigh. What is a mother to do?
