Sundays-useless and unproductive

Sundays as a mom who needs to do homework when you have four kids with constant demands, bickering, and bodily noises that make it impossible to concentrate are the bain of my existence. I ask them to play outside, which causes a break down because one of them wants to play barbies, and so after twenty minutes of whining she heads outside with no coat or shoes to be outside, and just sits there in the snow, cause i wanted her outside. After bringing her inside to get coat and shoes, you find her outside writing stories.

 The other when asked to be outside, says fine ill go just lie in the snow and freeze, whoever said boys weren't dramatic...

 And 5 minutes after being outside the youngest comes in saying he kicked snow in everyones eyes. I then ask him to quietly read. Quietly, is not a word completely understood by children. He starts making noises with his mouth and stomping around. He starts wailing that his gatorade won't open. I lose it. Compose myself and then ask him to politely and quietly ask for help. He reads for two minutes and then goes and takes his brothers skates and heads out the door. Said brother screams that those arent his skates, and goes after him. I got them to talk it out, and younger brother asked older one to use them. Youngest one then brings up a box he finds outside and brings it up the stairs with skates on his feet, insert heart attack. He came upstairs and tells me he is going to put a movie in the box. The below picture is what happened, "I am the movie, watch me". Well, he has got some cuteness going for him.

I give up. This is why I do homework at midnight and get no sleep. 

I plugged in daughters hot curlers. Doing her hair before i get ready for work. Giving her the attention she needs is more important than struggling to do 5 seconds of homework.

This is also a hard thing to deal with when i see so many people being supported with things they take on, so many families helping their adult kids with their grandkids. I may be doing great with school, but there is so little support. So many times Im not doing great, emotionally, mentally, physicaly with lack of sleep, and not taking care of my body because of so many demands. Not having siblings, parents, or support from others, is not something i wish on anyone. 

The struggle is real, so real...
