Tension in the air

My partner has been really on edge recently and that has been affecting us all. It has been putting me on edge as well and I think the younglings are playing up as a result of if. Unfortunately another thing my partner does as well is wind people up and because I am on edge I am very easy to wind up. We had an argument today and it ended up with us swearing at each other in front of the younglings.

He has also become paranoid about making too much noise. I knew that he would react like that. The main thing that our neighbor objected to was the door being slammed. It has not help that he is getting wound up about his college course. He is getting ratty with the younglings for being noisy. I think I will have to have a word with him when he is calm about how he is dealing with them. Children need disapline but the best way to do this is by being calm.

My partner managed to break the puppet theatre today. I knew it would not be long before it happened. I can repair it but it is going to have to stay away until it can be used under proper supervision.

On a lighter note my daughter has been asking for several days to play one of the board games. I would love to play one of the games with her but I think she is a bit too young. Though I could always try with the twins one day when they have finished nursery. I will have to read the instructions on how to play the game.

I have also ordered the birthday presents for the twins. I got my son a mat for the floor that has got roadways on it and for my daughter I got her a pop up play house. I think they will both love what we have got and it is different to what we have normally got them.

It took me a while to get the picture uploaded but this is a picture of our funky new bed. It is really nice to sleep in but we are going to have to move the exercise bench from the end of the bed as there is no longer any more room for it.
