Bickering Girls!!

It's been one of those frustrating afternoons with the kids.  The trip to the pediatrician for my daughter's sprained ankle resulted in a referral for physical therapy.  Not a huge surprise and that wasn't the problem.

The problem came when I took four kids into Wal-Mart with me.  My three girls bickered, bickered, bickered.  No bickering from my son (of course).  Not what I wanted to deal with when my allergies have been bad since I woke up (Claritin isn't working).  Why can't females get together without bickering? 

The highlight of my afternoon:  My 11-year-old son wanted to spend some of his birthday money while my teenage daughter needed a bra so he walked through the lingerie aisles with us with his eyes covered.  His five-year-old sister steered him through aisles every color and size bra until we were done.  He gets that embarrassed.

I ended up so frustrated with my girls that I didn't finish shopping.  I wanted to look around at baby gifts but decided to come home and look at personalized baby gifts online instead for a better selection of gift ideas without bickering kids.  The kids are all outside playing and I get some peace and quiet to finish shopping for baby stuff.  Between the bickering and my allergies, I could not get out of that store fast enough.  It will be a long time before I shop with all the girls at the same time again.

Went on a Mini-Vacation

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted here.  I got busy with the kids and went on a mini-vacation, just me and the kids.  It was four against one for a four hour drive each way and they didn't do too bad.  We drove to a family reunion and saw family we hadn't seen in forever.  Got a little baby fix in and sang happy birthday to several little ones.  I probably should've looked for baby gifts at redenvelope before we went but it was a last minute decision (seriously, we decided two hours before we left).  I am more than happy to buy baby gifts for other people's kids rather than have more babies myself.  That time has come (with four children) and is now gone (with me heading towards 40). 

Other than the sunburn that blistered on my back, it was a good time.  Maybe next time hubby will be able to come with us and make it even better.  I missed him, but I am glad I went.
