Can I make it through Christmas break?

I don't actually know if I'm going to survive Christmas break without losing my mind. My kids go back to school on Monday. Can this be a judgement free post? Thanks. I don't even drink, guys, so I can't even drown out my sorrows in box wine at the end of the day. Here's a list of my kids' preferred activities during this break:Following me around the house and trying to cling to my legs and crying when I shut the door to the bathroomFighting, fighting, and even louder fighting, and when they're not fighting, they're still fighting.Tattling when someone so much as looks at them the wrong wayInability to cope with even the slightest inconvenience without falling into hystericsWhining incessantly. Oh, the whining. We had a great Christmas, we traveled to visit family, had a great time, did fun activities, but the whining, whining, whining, you'd think I made them spend the break in a doghouse. The food isn't good, they're hot, they're cold, they don't want to play with this cousin, they don't want to drive in the car, they don't want to play this game, they don't want to sit by this person, and on and on...Standing next to me while I eat my breakfast wondering why I would rudely have my first breakfast when they have not had a second breakfast.Being the WORST SLEEPERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, each of them waking up 5 or 6 times a night and screaming instead of quietly coming to find us, when all I want to do is have a 5 minute uninterrupted conversation with my husband. They've always been awful sleepers, but it's compounded when they also suck during the day too.Screaming if I do not immediately answer them, because apparently I have died right there and they must know if I heard them tell me they decided to use the pink stamp pad instead of the purple. Great, thanks, I was on pins and needles wanting to know.Being fine playing with Dad, not whining, everything's cool, they're having fun. I come downstairs and everyone loses their freaking minds.Thanks for listening. I'm out of Dr. Pepper too, and I refuse to take these people to the grocery store with me to get some.
