Peace in the valley, ahhhhh... It's been a nutso morning of crabbiness in these parts, mainly my oldest dude. For whatever reason, Jack has been on edge all day - even when he attempts to change his attitude, it comes flying back out. We ran some errands this morning and at the first store he immediately asks if we can "go home." Umm, nope, we didn't head to that end of town to just shop for two seconds! I got what we needed and it was about time for Molly to eat so I figured I'd feed her there. Wouldn't you know while holding her and trying to make her bottle, I dropped my water bottle (after I had taken the lid off) and water splashed all inside my cart and all over the floor. So I had to find some guy working there to mop it up! That was a bit on the embarrassing side! From there we headed to another store where I really hoped to find some cute sweaters for the boys for Christmas and a dress for Miss Molly. I found a dress for her but Jack was growing so impatient (and Mikie kept wandering off) that we just headed out. While in line, Jack starts throwing a fit cause he took his coat off and somehow expects me to hold it while I'm holding Molly's carseat (that thing weighs a ton, there weren't any carts around so I had to carry it thru the store) and holding the dress I had picked out. Argh! I told him to hold it or put it back on! That went over like a fart in church. It was a tough mornin' out - even with the best intentions sometimes those trips can turn stressful :) Anywho, we headed for home, drove thru Taco Bell and come 2pm, all 3 kiddos were in bed and "out." I managed to get a nap in myself and watch General Hospital.

Erk is deer hunting this weekend so I'm flying solo with the kiddos. We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow so that'll be fun! We can't wait! Our good lil' buddies are 6 and 4, both back to back birthdays like our boys. Have a good one!
