My boys are typical boys…you know “noise with dirt on it.” They are loud and rambunctious. They love guns, swords, pirates, power rangers and lightsabers. Some days they get along marvelously. Other days, I want to pull my hair out from the tattling and wresting…and all of the boo boos and tears that come from said wrestling. Today was one of those kinda days.
We had a major meltdown, followed by a snack for the boys (low blood sugar?) and chocolate and a coke for me. Sometimes I feel like if you gave me enough Coke, I could rule the world. Today was a 2 coke day just to rule my home, so I can’t even imagine how many cokes it would take to rule the world…but I like to believe I could do it.
Regardless of how many cokes I need to have or how much hair loss I experience…I luuuuuuv these boys. I love them as high as the sky and as deep as the ocean. I can’t get enough of them and it’s easy to see why…

So, do your kids drive you crazy regardless of how much you love them?
p.s. the days that go quiet here on the blog are directly related to the days I get a nap…so I hope instead of missing the posts, you’ll congratulate this prego for getting a nap!
Oh….chocolate make it all better here too! Its good to know that my girls arent the only ones who have their mother pulling her hair out! My girls may not wreastle, but ohhhh the screams and the whinning! But like you said, at the end of the day none of it matters! I love them like crazy!
{Oh and hooray for the days you get a nap! You deserve it!:)}
My two love each other like crazy, but they have their horrible moments too – screaming, tattling, and yes, even wrestling, usually instigated by Bear. She’s never seen a wrestling move in her life, but she has the head-lock-pull-to-the-ground down pat anyway. And j-jo, well, he pulls Bear’s hair. Good thing she was blessed with a head of plentiful thick hair! I think low blood sugar is often a factor for sibling squabbles here. Good job with the naps:)
I have two boys too and I know exactly what you’re going through. Just like you, I love them so much as well. I want to share your blog to our website so I’m writing an abstract on this.
Thanks, Judy. I’m looking forward to visiting your site too. :)
What gorgeous pictures! So sweet.
