*Disclaimer - Sorry, this post was originally supposed to be how I felt about the last day of school. I think it drifted a little. But, hey... I can be a little random. (I guess) I think the thought of having both kids home has got my brained a little scrambled. Oh, well. *
School is out for summer.... Is this a good thing? Maybe for the to be 2nd grader. As a mom, I know going out and getting things done will be a bit tougher. Attempting any type of outing with 2 boys is just plain ridiculous! The arguing and fighting... Oh, and both of them will not fit in those kiddie carts they have at the grocery store. I can't even put one of them in the seat that is in the grocery cart, I would never get them out. I'm too short. (lol) Even if I could get them out... I am not able to see over them while pushing the cart. Yes, I'm short.
Thanks for stopping by my new blog hop and sharing! Yes, the summer can sure be a challenge with busy little, or not so little boys! I hope you have a great weekend and please come again!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Loved your posts, they're short and sweet. LOL! I remember my sister and I annoying the hell out of my mum wherever we went! Following you back! :)
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet, ... like me! I'm not so sweet all the time! As for my posts, I'm still trying to get in the groove. I'm a newbie blogger! Bear with me! :)
DeleteI swear a man invented those wagons that are in the shape of cars, space ships or have small benches attached...they are a pain in the a-- to push and my kids always fight over them :) following you from the blog hop - hope you will check my blog out http://busymee.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you! Who would be more likely to design big toy like items? MEN! checking you out and following, too!
Deletehaha I used to LOVE sitting in those grocery carts!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I remember my sister and I sitting in the carts and being pushed around XD.
ReplyDeleteI found you on the blog hop! :D
I feel ya! I'm short too! I think in this situation straight up bribery might be your best option. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Link'n Blogs!

ReplyDeleteI feel your pain! I used to do most of my errands while my oldest was in school and I only had one. Our grocery store gives free kids cookies, so I bribe them. If they are good during shopping, we'll stop at the bakery counter and get a cookie. If they're bad, they don't get one. Sometimes it works...
Bless your heart...you might be too short...but I'm too old!!! It's hard for me to get our GRANDsons in and out of the carts!! Thanks for following me at Jeremiah 29:11...I'm your latest follower, too!!! HOPE you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a great weekend as well!
DeleteI completely understand your frustrations! 2 boys + arguing and fighting + a "too small" shopping cart + short mama = frustrating trips!! Try to enjoy the summer!!
ReplyDeleteWill do. :)
DeleteI am counting the days till school starts.
ReplyDeleteI feel you! You know, I already got the school supply list for next year! It was sent home with my boy on the last day of school! I'm just that with it, though. I would lose or use stuff before then! lol
DeleteI'm short too, and I have two arguing boys, so I feel you on this! It's gonna be a long summer, but I have vodka in the freezer, so it's doable! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, Vodka!

ReplyDeleteMy daughter is in the phase where she wants to be the big girl that helps push the cart or pick up the groceries. It takes twice as long.

They should make shorter carts. That would help with the vertical challenges I'm sure ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog from the Local Sugar Aloha Blog Hop. i can relate to the end of the year thing....I inwardly cringe when I consider having to share everything, ALL DAY...sigh. I love them. but I also love the STAPLES commercial where the background music is "It's the most wonderful time of the year..." the parents are dancing, and the children follow along as if in mourning as they shop for Back to School supplies. However, I remind myself how much I miss them when they are away for too long....
ReplyDeletethanks for making me smile, thanks for the follow, and I'm following you back.
Peace and good.
Thanks for stopping in and following my blog. I am now a follower. I am not a stay at home mom so I don't know what it is like to have to keep a child occupied all. day. long. since he is at a sitter that is what I pay her to do. BUT on weekends he gets bored with me because I plan things (eg. going to the park, zoo, swimming) that he has done all week so it is no longer fun for him. Good luck, I have one to occupy I don't know what I would do with two.
ReplyDeleteThis made me giggle, thank you. My girls are 6 & 8 now and life is a little easier. Rachel x
ReplyDeleteFound you on the weekend blog walk. I have 3 so definitely feel your pain. They're all in camp half days the first half of the summer, so so far we're ok. The second half I may lose my sanity.
