Today did NOT feel like a vacation much. My kids are losing it which means I’m losing my sanity. Mom and Dad went out around lunch to a local furniture store. She called after being gone for about an hour and said we should come over with her pictures and a folder of hers. I thought she wanted it to show my grandmother when we went over there. Turns out we were being sent on an errand for her to show the furniture store people her stuff. I was ill. A furniture store is like a big playground for a 2 and 4 year old and it was MY job to keep them from breaking anything. After about 10 minutes I simply picked up the kids and left without telling anyone. I was not going to have any more rude looks from ANYone. I drove the kids to a local park at a school and let them run out their energy until they were ready to go to my grandmother’s. The visit there was nice. Emma and Lexi put on a cute performance of songs like You are My Sunshine for her.
After that, we went out to eat at another locally owned restaurant Hobo’s. It’s almost a hole in the wall but it is GOOD food. Now we are all home watching Curious George (again). I’m putting the kids to bed right after this is over and I think Heather and I are going to the movies after that.
There are slim pickin’s here at the movie theater. I really want to watch License to Wed but it’s not playing here. The only thing I really want to see is Evan Almighty. I love him in The Office and I loved Bruce Almighty. Hopefully the mix will turn out well. I’m desperate for any alone time which requires me to only sit and laugh so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it no matter what.
