Oh
My.
Long day.
Just home now.
He is still awake…
wanting to make leprechaun traps.
I’m just getting home after a long day of visiting the DMV, the Apple Store, then a parent teacher conference day where we worked until 7pm. I left the house around 8:15 and have been going ever since. After changing into my PJs, taking some Motrin, and listening to the kids read together, George begins an epic meltdown at 8:30 because he wants to make a leprechaun trap. NOW.
Never mind that they did this yesterday at a park district program where they built traps, hunted clovers, and did art projects. Apparently this was not sufficient.
I haven’t even eaten dinner yet. For Pete’s sake. I just cannot today.
I am writing for the 19th annual Slice of Life challenge presented by Two Writing Teachers.

Don’t forget the green milk and Lucky Charms too! Now that my boys are adults, I miss these rituals until I’m reminded of how depleting these could be.

Oh man, I’ve been there. This is actually the first year that we did nothing for the leprechaun. My daughter is 12 and the magic has finally broken. I’m not sad about it for st. Patrick’s day honestly, but for the rest of the holidays, I’m super sad. Anyway, she had made traps for years and I really couldn’t wait until she didn’t want to anymore. The last two years, I actually convinced her to just do something nice for him. That was a lot easier. So we just left treats out for him. Maybe try that next year!

Good idea. It was a full on melt down.

It does feel less like a special day with no kids at home today to celebrate. I am enjoying seeing the traps in the classrooms. Kudos to doing a poem and a piece in one post!
