Full Of It

It's been one of those weeks. Full tilt crazy. My sanity has felt like syrup ready to pour out, over the edge. A drip has fallen loose every time my kids open their mouths. I think I have little of it left now.

Twin #2 had surgery this week (ear tubes, adenoids out, scar tissue around vocal cords removed). Thus, I adopted Twin #1. It takes a lot of energy to let her do whatever she wants and then do the opposite for my own kids. It wore me down. I had to start telling her 'No' and it caused me physical pain to do so. I think I probably need a refresher course on parenting. I'm sure the first topic covered will be, "Thou shalt not treat your nieces better than your own offspring."

Just in case you have more energy today than I do, try making sidewalk chalk:

You can find the directions on the Family Fun website. Take careful note that you can't put any of the solution down your sink. It will harden in the pipes. Kinda like my brain today.

My goal is to sit in a quiet, secluded place today. We all know that's never gonna happen, but it's nice to think about. Right?
