Scratch That

Remember in my last post how I talked about how looking after my kids was getting to be so much easier and enjoyable than in the past?  Remember how I was so proud of myself and feeling like I had this mommy thing all worked out?

Well that was before Tuesday.

Tuesday I took the day off to be with the guys and take them to Wonderland (solo....Super Husband is still away on business).  My friends were astonished.

"You're what"?

"Taking BOTH kids by yourself"?

"Good Luck"! (dripping with sarcasm)

I am convinced that these asshole comments set me up for disaster.

I couldn't possibly capture the horrendousness of the day in a blog post but I will say this.

1.  The workers will actually stop a ride to let your 2.5 hear old get out because he has Houdini-style  flung his legs over the side of the airborne airplane and is screaming "Mommy"!  Apparently other parents get annoyed when this happens.  Especially when they are waiting in line.

2.  The big red button on the control panel marked EMERGENCY STOP really does stop all the trains in their tracks!  Amazing!  Even more amazing is the fact they place said button to be accessible and low enough that a 2.5 year old can reach it while mommy is unloading other child from ride.

Yes!  It's true!  Little Man managed to shut the whole ride down without aid of a qualified worker.

We made a hasty exit after that one.

By the time we got home I was ready to implode.

Thankfully Super Husband is coming home tonight.

Tag - you're it!  I've got a date with a bottle of chilled white.
