I think that got us up and running within 24 hrs because I didn't have a lot of time or support as a single mom. We were a team, me & the kid so we had to stay loved up and ready for the worse :) This is so much harder when you add in a blended family element… when my daughter would come home from a visit with her dad I had to exercise a lot of grace and create a 'transitional routine'.

We were there for about 8 months. Like I said, that was a year ago and we're still working on getting them back on track! Gotta love those Grandmas!

When the girls go to my mother-in-laws for a sleepover and we get them back, it takes 3-4 hours to gain control back. Their Grammy likes to spoil them. Its all good. It works real well when they come home at bed time. They know we don't play when it comes time to their bed time. They go to bed and wake up like the angels we know, well not all the time. It does not work as well when we get them back moments before a worship service or Sunday school. That's funny, like Angie, when I clicked on your post from my reader I thought it said repainting.

They work really hard to keep schedules and rules similar to when our kids are with us.

Unfortunately it usually takes a few days! Hope you all have a blast. We refer to it as "grandparent detox". Unfortunately it usually takes a few days! Hope you all have a blast.
