Send Lawyers, Guns & Money

It certainly has hit the fan.  There is a bit of a perfect storm effect.  I know I am tired.  I could definitely do with more sleep.  The kids are irritable and tired.  They are not doing what they should be doing.  Adding to that, they are being surly and disrespectful.  Someone in the household, may or may not be monstrating.  The forces of nature are working against us.  A malfunction was inevitable.  It's sort of like Godzilla tormenting Tokyo at the moment.  The prudent thing here is to take a moment and count to ten.  OK, maybe 100.  Let's start at a million.  Stepping back and getting the anger in check is key.  Everyone has to be rational though.  It can't be one person being rational and trying to calmly restore order.  That won't work.  All four of us need to go to our corners and chill.  Then we can try again.
