I'm soooo tired!!!

I'm exhausted!!!!

My feet hurt, my legs hurt....I can barely walk!!! I'm just not used to having such a big house. I still have lots to do around here, but I find myself having to sit and relax my legs and feet!!

Yesterday, I had a couple of errands to run and make a trip to the grocery store. They had one of those cute shopping carts for the kids to ride in....so I let Nathan ride in one of them. He's almost too big, just fits inside!! It usually keeps him quiet. Well, he wanted a certain item....they didn't have it. So......he started getting upset and crying, screaming, etc. I had to keep stopping and explaining to him that we could go to another store. He liked that idea....he didn't like that idea.....GGRRRRR!!!!!

Then, Tyler wanted to rent a playstation game. So we went to do that. Of course, AFTER we went to 2 different grocery stores, AND made a trip home to unload the bags!!!! Nathan wanted to rent a movie. It took FOREVER for him to pick one. Stimming and pacing the whole time. Tyler and I tried to suggest movies for him. He liked it....didn't like it....he liked it....didn't like it!!!! He kept talking real loud, and I had to keep telling him to talk softly. Making lots of noises, getting upset, etc. Finally, he picked one.....and I hurried him up to the front counter. As I'm trying to pay, he grabs my arm, "I'm not going to fall? I'm going to fall, I'm not going to fall????" (he does this in buildings with high ceilings) The lady at the counter was trying to talk to me....and Nathan just wouldn't stop!!!! Then he starts obsessing about what he got, and what Tyler got, and why Tyler didn't pick another game......etc, etc.....

By the time I got home.....it was too late to make what I had PLANNED to make for dinner!!!! So, leftover, frozen food it was!!!!

I can't wait for school to start!!! Guess I'm just rambling....it was a hard day yesterday. It was about 100 degrees yesterday, guess that doesn't help!!
