Friday

I took a Sudafed last night before bed and, unfortunately, started today at 2am. That affected the quality of the whole day.

Lessons learned:

• parsha with two kids takes twice as long
• if you do not spell out the names of everyone in the parsha, you will get questions about how B'nei Yisroel fought with mal'ach, he's invisible
• trying to do both kids to do work at the same time will require some tweaking. Unless it's an experiment or art project, on those they will work cooperatively

the boys spent the morning getting under each other's skin, and I did not have a lot of patience, due to severe lack of sleep

• 7 yo has hard time with any mistakes. I knew that about 5 yo, but now I see that he has it too.
• 5 yo is not doing so well in his brother's shadow

Lots of things to think over Shabbos.
