UGH!

I am really starting to hate Tuesdays. I signed Corbin up for tumbling because I thought it would be good exercise and a great way for him to make new friends. Instead he wakes up Tuesday mornings very excited and goofy and doesn't listen all day. He also tries to push all of Nora's buttons. What makes it even more difficult is that Nora has to come with us sometimes - so now I have two kids with no nap. Poor Nora gets frustrated because she is tired and Corbin is bouncing off the walls.

Today after tumbling we had some errands to run. Nora just wanted to go home. Corbin was shaking from excitement. First we went Best Buy to pick up a new DVD player, both kids proceeded to touch every flat screen tv within reach. Then when we got to the check out Corbin started to tease Nora, who started to shriek. I grabbed them both and yelled at them and gave Corbin a swat on the leg. Both sobbed all the way to the car and Corbin cried until we were in the Target parking lot. At Target Nora was so tired she just followed me around without a fight. Corbin was running around like a lunatic. Luckily it was a very quick shopping trip. At the library they both calmed down a little - until it was time to check out. Then they fought over the self check out machine. And then Corbin nearly ran into the parking lot into the path of a car.

After all that they both managed to eat their dinner and both passed out on the couch before 8pm. So now I have to look forward to getting up at 5:30am. Because Corbin always wakes up at dawn if he goes to bed before 8:30.

I am so glad his last tumbling class is next week. Never again will I schedule an activity during nap time!
