First Day of 1st Grade
Take 9,284
Take 9,285
Forget it.
Same classmates, different teacher, so Cole didn't look back.
I sobbed.

You Can Be Anything
We love going to the mall - Kids love the play areas, getting lunch, and walking around the toy/pet stores... I go for the air conditioning.
We had no idea Barbie was going to be there today. She put on a cute show and took pictures - Hayden couldn't believe she met the REAL Barbie.
Cole was a great sport and this happened:
Must be a full moon tonight.

Mom or Referee
I used to think we were different. Incredibly lucky for how close our kids were.
I was wrong.
I am no longer a mom. I'm a referee.
About a year ago it started. It's reached an all time high. I'm tired of it. I'm cranky because of it. I have no idea how to get them back to where they were.
Today I had a fun adventure planned. Coronado - Favorites for a picnic lunch (garlic knots for Cole, pizza for Hayden), bus ride to the library, walk to the playground and bus back to our car.
All went well until the playground. Grass, sand, swings and two huge play structures... They both wanted to play on the same thing. Of course.
Took it away. Told them they were acting ridiculous and we'd leave if it happened again.
Put Sutton on a slide and I heard it again. I picked her up at the bottom and walked to the bus stop. They followed - Bickering.
Ten minutes. I thought we'd be there for at least two hours. So much time and energy wasted. A fun afternoon turned sour.
I never thought I'd want school to start and here I am counting the days... I keep telling myself to remember these moments, not the ugly ones. It's so hard.
