Today was quite an ordeal.
I took the Girls to the annual Easter Egg hunt sponsored by the City of Morgan City in the park. Last year it was fantastic! I was all set for a great day with my girls!! I should have known the odds were against me! The kids are divided by ages, so Valerie wanted my Dad to go with her and I stayed with Veronica. It took forever for them to get started. The guy on the mic started introducing people - who cares?! Finally the mayor took over and said GO! And Roni went - grabbing candy by the handfull and tossing it in her basket. When she was done I saw a tearful Valerie with Poppi coming my way. Val had spied a pink egg and some little boy snatched it from right in front of her. Valerie stood there and cried and cried and got NO eggs or candy. Not a single thing!! I don't know why my Dad didn't help her. She cried and cried about that pink egg for the rest of the morning.
We headed over for the basket contest hoping to get lucky again. Last year there were only 3-4 baskets. There must have been 20 this year! I think one of the schools decorated baskets there were so many. Of course we didn't win and Valerie was still crying over her pink egg! Ugh!
I let them play for a while in the park, and then we went to Mc Donald's for lunch. We ate and then the kids played for a while. Before I knew it, Veronica had climbed to the very top of the play area. She stayed up there for a while following Valerie and another little girl. And you know what's next.... Roni started screaming. And screaming. And SCREAMING. I tried to get Valerie to help her, but she wouldn't. So yes, I had to haul my butt up there to get her down. I get to the top and she isn't stuck. She's screaming MAD because she wanted to climb higher but couldn't get her footing. So I had to crawl though one of those tunnels (lovely) and literally drag Veronica kicking and screaming, inch by inch back down. She wanted back in the tunnel by all means and was not happy that Mommy was taking her out. Then Valerie started crying because we were leaving. We had to drag both kids screaming and crying out to the parking lot. Let me say we caused quite a scene in Mc Donald's!! Thank goodness we don't go there often. Don't think we'll be trying that again any time soon!

Awwww, poor girls! That was a terrible, horrible day for them! lol Don't you just love it when you are trying to let the kids have fun and doing things for them, and they totally mess it all up and throw temper tantrums, scream, cry, etc. and then you wonder why you even do these things..! Oh, but the love and sweetness of kids!
I agree with Brandy. sometime i wonder why i do the things i do for them and take them with me to the store only to know that soon enough it will end up bad and i will have to hold my tongue and not say anything until i get in the car or home so no one can here or see me yellling how they were acting. lol. love them to the world and back but sometime i think i am not going to make it though all of this. i am so sorry this happen to you and your ay was so turn upside down.
Men! They just don't think like women. That was my biggest fear - having to climb that stuff at McDonald's! Thankfully I Never had to.
I may have confused you in my post - sometimes its hard to get out what I really want to convey. Rich doesn't work hitches. He just installs or takes down the equipment. This time he was out there to sit and watch the equipment for IF something happened he could show them what to do. He calls it babysitting LOL I think the longest he has been gone in a stretch is 5 days? But that was a new client and loooong boat rides to the rigs.
