I was hoping to kick off Day #1 with much happiness & hooplah. But that's not how it went. First of all, I didn't get to sleep in. The girls walked quietly into my room this morning & started talking with whispered voices in my face with their donut breath. (Thanks daddy for the healthy breakfast.) Then, my 7 year old spilled hot pink nail polish on the cream colored carpet.
And the girls have already started with the teasing/bickering/picking/fighting thing too. I can't take a summer of that. I can't.
Our trip to the grocery store was just awful. My kids were in super disobedient mode. And the funny thing is, they WANT to go with me. It's not like they're miserable & I'm dragging them around to boring places like this. I feel like a weenie mom: I can't take the 2 of them anywhere together. It's just too stressful.
The only highlight of the day was when we stopped by the coffee shop for Italian Cream Sodas. My fave. I got watermelon. Pazely got grape. And Zoey got lime.
The un-highlight was when the girls started singing "The 12 Day of Christmas" in the backseat of the car.
A-n-n-o-y-i-n-g.
I asked them to stop. So they just changed the words & kept singing the same awful tune.
If I could have turned around, brought them back home & continued on with the day solo, I would have. But "home" was 40 miles away.
*sigh*
We did enjoy a simple dinner this evening though, which makes me happy. I put together a D.I.Y. sandwich bar. All the makings for a custom sandwich of your choosing.
My favorite sandwich spread: cream cheese sprinkled with walnuts. Mmmm.

Day 2: Be good to me, please.
