Wow, two posts in one day. I think that might be a first. But I have to apologize, if even just to myself because I doubt anyone else is reading, for my earlier wallowing. Now the husband is home, the kids are in bed, and what do you know, things are already looking better! The huz encouraged me to go out for a bit by myself, so I went to the pet store to pick up a couple of things for our new arrival, as well as the convenience store to get milk. But even just being away from the house and THE MONSTERS which were my kids today, helped a bit!
CW is remorseful in his own way for this morning's behaviour. I know he can't help himself, but it is so hard to separate his ADHD from him, if that makes any sense at all. I have to step back and try to see him for the good kid that he wants to be but has such a hard time showing...and not the evil monster that he often appears to be. I have to believe that with help we can see more of the inside and not the outside.
So there it is...tomorrow both kids go to separate sets of grandparents for the weekend. Thankfully CW is scheduled to go to the huz's mom and step-dad's place...not the house of the grandpa that he kicked in the shins today. Hopefully he will have a good weekend there and not cause any trouble, or kick anyone in the legs. AK is going to my parents cottage for the weekend. And we are going to visit DH's dad, always fun (in an alternate universe) and then picking up our new puppy on the way home on Saturday. It's going to be an interesting weekend to say the least.

" it is so hard to separate his ADHD from him" Oh I 100% know what you mean. It is a constant struggle with us too and I have to remind myself and my husband of this very same thing as well. I am glad you got a chance to get away and think on it, it helps!
