Those days

Today was one of those days. We have a lot of those days lately. My two boys don't ever seem to want to do the same thing, unless it happens to be getting into things they're not supposed to. They're in cahoots then. Partners in crime. Like with the pouring of the coffee cream into my couch. Yeah.

There's a lot of whining. A lot of fighting over toys. A lot of chasing. A lot of falling down and bangs. No is every other word, both said by me and them. We have entered the talk back stage with Dylan, and the terrible twos are in FULL swing with Dawson. (I have Mommy amnesia because I don't remember the twos being THIS TERRIBLE). Brotherly love is not the theme in this house. More like brotherly rivalry. All.The.Time. I'm sure someday they will grow out of this. I hope.

Someday I will look back upon this and feel a longing for the early years, despite how overwhelmed I feel these days...I know it will happen. Lord, please let me survive until then!
