Insane
I tried taking my kids to the pajama story time at the library tonight. What a NIGHTMARE! We were there for less than five minutes and had to get back in the car and leave. Every time I try to do something for THEM they end up ruining it. This happens quite often, actually pretty much anytime we go anywhere. It is SO frustrating. So, someone, please hunt down my husband and drag him home before I end up in a PADDED ROOM!!

OH Christine,
So I don't even really know you, I just know your husband well; but I hope that you don't mind that I read your blog from time to time.
But I have to tell you that you are going through what so many mothers go through, especially having 2 children close in age. My husband is not in the military, but he has been gone for months at a time for training with his job (longest at once was 3 months to Houston while I was in California.) I know it's not the same but I do relate to being a single parent so often. It is HARD. It also takes an incredibly strong woman, and you are just that!
RE: kids being monsters in public. Yeah, we go through that a lot. So many times now I've taken my boys to library storytime, the movies in the park, etc etc etc....and it has wound up being a disaster. I have left so many places because my children have screamed, kicked, hit me, hit each other, talked loudly, thrown tantrums, thrown things. It's exhausting.
Take heart - it's mostly the age. I promise. My 8 year old, and even my 4 year old sometimes, no longer behave in this mannter..but they used to. It doesn't make it any easier for right now, but grit your teeth and keep plugging along - eventually, it will get better.
Hang in there!
I know what you mean! The thing that I can never understand is that we are doing something wonderful for them...they don't seem to get it! :) Kids. Someday they will thank us. heheeehe
They are not spoiled but loved, and you are not insane. Keep going and doing one day they will remember and will thank you. =)
