I am beginning to think that I am crazy. Seriously, certifiably crazy. Donovan has been living in Victoria for the last 8 days for his intensive introduction to the MBA program at Royal Roads. I have been in HELL. 3 boys who are seemingly adjusting (to outsiders) to a nomadic lifestyle but to me are clearly not coping well. Their sole purpose in life right now is to make me miserable and to beat the living shit out of one another.
Did I mention that I am living with my in-laws who love to feed my children sugar and yell at them when they misbehave. ( and when I say yell, I mean scold them while laughing) This can be understandably confusing for a child, especially the three year old.
I have been trying to keep the boys busy. I have taken them (along with some help most times) to the pool (probably never again..maybe but I have to forget about the terrifying moment when I thought Kiran had drown but just went to the water slide without telling me), the mall (never again), Granville Island (if it wasn't ridiculously busy perhaps we would go again), parks (lots and lots of parks), bowling, and many other excruciating outings. I have now decided that they are not bored, they are assholes.
I am now drinking a big glass of Vodka while trying to figure out a way to escape this evening for a little much needed Mommy time.

Oh honey, I feel your pain. I hope the vodka helps :) they won't be assholes forever. This too shall pass... just drink your way through it. love ya, miss ya xoxo
They do look fairly well adjusted when they're out... but then.... out is not in. And kids are always different when they're in.
Maybe you are a bit crazy, but you have to be crazy to get anywhere in this life. I'm taking time and energy this year to say yes to experience and opportunity. And there's no one who has done so so much as you guys. Holy crap, amazing stuff.
And it's only just begun. <3
thinking of you and your lil' assholes! Hang in there Mama. Enjoy a nice tall glass of vodka for me. Enjoy the adventure! xox
hahhahahaa... Oh Tara. Sounds terribly awful, and if we didn't have assholes, well, we'd be full of shit... I can only imagine your frustrations though. Hang in there. In a good adventure ride there are lots of ups and downs and loopdeloops, and at the end of it, you catch your breath, laugh, and usually want to do it again!
I'm in my own adventure too, living in my driveway, and no safe place for levi to be... he loves 'construction' and it turns out he is good at the demolition part. I can't wait to have a home again!
Sorry I missed giving you a hug goodbye!
