Today I have struggled. I'm tired. I'm worn out. You boys are driving me a bit nuts. Yes I love you, but your energy in unreal and I'm not keeping up very well today. We started with a morning of donuts and park time with daddy. What a treat bc he doesn't get to do this much with us. You boys loved every second of run and chase and swinging with your favorite person in the world.
After naps (thank God for naps today) we went to Barnes and Noble. You'd been asking to go for awhile and I finally gave in since daddy will be home late and it's 100 degrees outside. Sutton, you mischievous little thing...., as always you were running from me and as you ran you grabbed this book off the shelf. I couldn't help but laugh at the irony. I should have probably bought it!! Instead I bought No More Perfect Moms, a book I've been wanting for awhile now. Maybe i'll feel more normal in my exhaustion :)
Tonight you have worn me out at the dinner table; I finally got you out in the front yard to run while I watered and I think it just have you more energy. You both ended up in a very dirty-watered pool that had been sitting out all week, yuck! laughing, screaming and splashing and of course not listening. Tonight as I sit completely exhausted this is the two of you in the living room. Of course it lasted only about two minutes; as now you are dumping toys and laughing in the floor now.... Your moods change quickly! Although your energy is more than I've ever seen in another kid, you are creative, your zest for life is unbearably contagious, and love for each other surpasses them all. I am thankful for the two of you: healthy and very happy little boys that for the most part truly love being with me every day. I love being with you too but maybe tomorrow you can find a calmer side?!
