Tired

I may have put the kids to bed too late this evening.  We had one terrified crying refusal to enter the bathroom and shower because of possible ghosts or people running around with knives outside of the shower curtain, and one crying meltdown over not winning a coin toss. You can guess which was which.  I think they are asleep now.
.
I can't tell if the terrified act is real or a deliberate delaying tactic.  There were tears, but once the shower was over everything was just fine.
.
The other one cries almost every time they can't control the outcome and the decision goes against their desired end.  It's a manipulation that occasionally works because sometimes they can get their sibling to cave in by crying.
.
We went to a party and the hostess went off on the waitstaff and management. It was embarrassing.  I took my kids and the baby away until it was safer to return.
.
I am relieved that the LORD has patience with us.
