On my own

So, yesterday marked Mark's return to work and me going solo with the kids during the day. Needless to say, it was very hectic. I did get all the clothes washed but not folded. Poor Sunny, our dog, had to stay outside for several hours before I could get her in and dried off (from the rain the previous night).

Liam's having screaming issues...not just when he's not getting his way it's constant non stop...happy and sad yelling. So, I'm having to work really hard with him and by the end of the day yesterday, my nerves were shot and I had a bad headache.

Zoe and Ace played very well. They were bummed we couldn't go outside...our insect repellant was all but empty and the mosquitoes are HORRIBLE here.

Josiah did good and slept like a little baby and slept extra good in the afternoon which allowed me some down time.

As for today...I did the inevitable and went to Wal-Mart with all four of them. Getting chores done and getting out the door took forever but we made it there and after feeding Josiah and heading to the potty, we were able to get our shopping done and managed to get everything on our list except milk...it's up to $4.26 and that is tooooo much for milk. Thankfully, we've found that gas stations are usually a lot cheaper so Mark will pick some up on the way home. Not sure why the sudden price hike but I hate it. We go through milk pretty quickly around here! All did well. Josiah rode in the sling and Zoe walked/rode some in the big cart. My only major problem is that Liam likes to hit Ace since they sit so close. Not sure how or why Liam thinks this is funny but it is very aggravating. Ace did the same thing to Zoe at this age though.

And let me finish off by saying it is soooo humid and hot!!!! Aggghhhh.
