Back home from a 3-day weekend in Rapid/Hermosa. The girls have today off from school, so they get an extra day to recover from too much weekend. We went down on Friday for Paisley's dentist appointment. We had to leave by 7:30 am, so we stopped in Faith to get some snacks for the drive. About 30 miles down the road, Paisley managed to spill her entire Sunny D on the floor. One of the perks of traveling alone with two kids...absolutely no one to help grab the spilling beverage before it's entire content has spilled out. On we went, as it isn't the first time something has spilled and it won't be the last time. Another hour down the road she starts to complain that her tummy hurts. "Do you think you are going to puke?" "No," she said. "Well if you do, grab the garb......" And with that, she barfs all over herself.
Oh. Nevermind.
We get to Rapid and I strip her down in the parking lot, change her clothes and scoop puke out of her carseat. Being a Mom is so awesome. I mean who knew all these perks existed?
The rest of our weekend went about the same way. My Mom and I tried to get some house stuff picked out, which means we got to visit our favorite (not so favorite) stores for the millionth time. Good old Menards and Lowes, with two kids. So much fun. Why do I even attempt to do that? Oh probably because I don't have much of a choice? Yah.
I know it's no fun for them either, I just wish it didn't bring out the naughtiest of behaviors EVERY TIME.
Then as we drive home on Sunday I feel like the biggest B**ch for pretty much yelling at them the entire trip. This whole parenting thing gets better, right? They get easier to take public places, right?
Sure hoping so. The funny thing is, once we were alone, without my Mom with us, they actually behaved themselves. We stopped by Menards ONE MORE TIME before leaving town and they were fine. We were in and out, problem free! *sigh*
