Switches

How many times can J and N not listen. Being that J is 4.5 and N is 2.5 I expect one of them to listen better than the other. Yeah not happening in this house.  I have told them countless times to keep the basement light on and somehow it finds it’s self off.  Now I should have pulled them upstairs but the thought of them being way too loud in the kitchen is nerve racking and headache producing.  You see J doesn’t have a volume control switch. I have been trying to locate it for quite some time. I tell you I can hear him from blocks away. I am hoping one day I will find the switch for both the listening and the volume control. I will turn the one on and the other down.
Today they have been either fighting or just not listening.  So today I will be dragging their little  butts out of the house for a little walk maybe even to the park if the sun continues to shine.  It is cold here but not too cold that we shouldn’t enjoy the sun.  I am hoping that a little fresh air will change their attitudes and maybe even turn on the listening switch for a bit. A mom can be hopeful right? =]
