Day 15

My children are driving me nuts!  I belong to a very exclusive and special club called "the two boys" club.  If you have two boys....three doesn't count now because you are just giving them more friends...but if you have TWO boys, you understand what I mean by I never thought I would behave the way I do sometimes.  Yesterday at the mall there was a woman who had two boys and was looking around Pottery Barn.  She kept saying, "guys just a second I need to look at this." Over and over again she said the thing that I have said so many times.  I welcomed her to my club lol and she totally got it.  She said to me, "You know, I have friends with girls that look at me like I am nuts sometimes because I am just so tired and frustrated all of the time because I have TWO boys!"  Oh yeah, she got it.  So that was one of my happy moments was having another woman understand my craziness that I live day in and day out with TWO boys.  I try to be kind and nice and soft spoken like other mothers.  It lasts for up to half a day sometimes!  I try to show loving guidance to my children....but sometimes I just end up screaming "JUST DO IT ALREADY!!!!!"  So to all you ladies out there in the two boys club...I feel ya!

But we did have quite a bit of happy moments yesterday.  As I said before I took the kids to the mall. We had the best time eating at a sushi restaurant with sushi coming out on a conveyor belt.  It was SO funny because as we were eating, people would walk by and stare, take pictures, and even point lol.  The sushi was good and the kids really enjoyed their lunch!

After lunch, we headed out and rode the carousel and visited the Disney Store.  The carousel was so much fun as the boys pretended they were charging off to battle on their horses.  I made it out of the Disney Store without buying anything! WOO HOO!  After that, I took the boys to Pottery Barn and bought a couple of things.  Specifically a vase that my stager back in California used quite a bit in my home there.  I came to love that vase so much as I would add flowers to it and put it around the house.  At one point I had two bunches of flowers added to it and I put it in my bedroom.  It was so lovely and made me so happy each morning waking up to those flowers.  I was so sad to give the vase back and I had no idea where my person who staged my house got it.  So to my wonderful surprise not only was it there at Pottery Barn, but it was 40% off!

We ate dinner at a really fun restaurant called Mellow Mushroom last night.  Mostly organic foods (if not all...I wasn't exactly sure about that) and it was so tasty!  We had this amazing hummus and pita appetizer.

After dinner, I headed over to my neighbor's house to watch The Bachelorette.  It was so wonderful to get to watch it with her, her daughter, and even her son!  That show is SO much better watching it with others so you can all laugh at the ridiculousness of the situations!  My neighbor's daughter had made some amazing chile verde salsa as well so we got to try that during commercial time.  It was a great time had by all and I can't wait to do it next week!

So tonight was a great way to end the day and I am thankful for the break from my family.  I love them, but it is SO nice to have David home to give them baths sometimes and put them to bed without me.  Hopefully it will give me more than just a half a day of patience with the kids tomorrow! Night all!

  1. Hi Melissa,

    I wish 2 boys upon my oldest daughter. She has 3 little girls and at their house you always have to be soft spoken! Hahaha!

    My 2 wear me out, so I am having some down time before I finish up for the night.
