Bad Moon Rising

What is it about a Full Moon? As it has approached, the kids have been even more hyper than normal. Last night at his special care, I arrived to find that Aidan had been put out into the quiet room at the back, where he most definitely wasn't being quiet. He apparently was put there, because as other parents came to collect their children, he started screaming. Great, just great. The staff there are excellent, so he wasn't being punished. They also told me that most of the kids were playing up, and they weren't sure why. Full Moon.

Tonight, Callum has been racing around like he's on speed. He also has had the screams up, and despite being tired and having been fed, he just won't go down. At the moment he's at my feet trying desperately to open some packaging with a doll in it, that Anth had bought as a gift for another baby girl. Even Ethan has been behaving like he's a werewolf. Full Moon.

This week has been quite a weird one. The untimely passing of Steve Irwin was sad, and today, Australia lost another icon in race car driver Peter Brock. Brocky was the equivalent of a Dale Earnhardt or Nigel Mansell. I grew up knowing all about his exploits as King of the Mountain. Its been a sad week. Perhaps this too was due to the Full Moon.

Ciao for Now, Howlin' Angry Dad.

Well that explains it. My kids have been nuts for the last few days. I chalked it up to the start of school. Now I know it was the moon.

I am wishing you a better week.

Oh man! the only thing that will drive little kids wilder than a full moon is a approaching big ole storm. I have seen it time and time again, they turn into even wilder people than they normally are!
