I spent 2 hours at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club to do some major grocery shopping that I have been neglecting. After lugging both kids in and out of the car and grocery cart several times, oh and hauling all the groceries, I was drained. Even my ears were fatigued from hearing Brad say “Why mom? Why mom? Why mom? Why mom? Can we buy that? Can we buy that? Can we buy that?” And me responding “ No. Quit touching the produce. Stop pushing the cart into people. No. Stop running. I don’t know why Brad…just because?”
You get the picture…
On the way home I had a little talk with Brad.
Me—“Brad, mommy is really tired and I would just like a nice and quiet ride home. Please don’t pester Claire, no silly noises, and please don’t ask me any questions. I am not trying to hurt you feelings or make you feel bad. I just really need some quiet time. No talking…Okay Brad?”
Brad—“ Then why are you still talking mom?”
I give up. He is just like his dad… always has to have the last word.

I am sorry Jenny but this made me laugh so hard because I feel that way almost everyday. My girls are in there "don't shut up stage" and I enjoy bedtime so much just because I am not answering 50 billion questions or keeping them out of the fridge and telling them why they can't have their 4th dinner of the evening.
Ha ha ha! That conversation makes me laugh! You have such a cute family! Your tomato looks amazing mine are just barely getting ready to pick. This growing season has been so weird.

I love that you posted this! I am so with you. There are times that bedtime can't come soon enough just for the silence. What a funny little boy you have! I hope you had a great time camping also! I will call you later this week! Camille
