Today was rather uneventful and a little disappointing. I had hoped to make it to the Coweta County Fair. From what I've heard, the fair is nothing too exciting, but fried Oreo's, funnel cakes, and hot dogs on a stick are always worth looking forward too. But, alas, it wasn't in the stars. Instead, we needed to run errands.
While I sometimes almost enjoy shopping, I find it depressing to use a precious, sunny, Saturday, going up and down the aisles of Walmart. There is a funny, plastic, chemical smell in Walmart, and it seems to get stronger as William tosses things out of the cart, Wynn drops my phone, my keys are covered in slobber and Wayne is no where to be found.
After Walmart, William volunteered to go with me to Publix (our local grocery store) while Wynn played with daddy. When I arrived home, Wynn had pooped through her diaper into her pants, she was thirsty, hungry, and screaming mad that I had left her behind. While I tried to put away the groceries, clean up my baby girl and find food to keep her happy, William melted down and started screaming. Oh, the joyous sound of two children crying!
But, eventually my day with my children ended. They took their bath, drank their milk, and curled up with blankies and pacifiers. And I was able to go sit outside by our fire pit, watch the red embers glow, and listen to the bugs sing their night songs. And while I sat there, I looked up at the windows, and missed their busy, crazy, lovable energy.
