Seriously, how boring am I? I have actually tried to post the last few days, but everything I wrote came out pissy and bitchy and I'm sure no one is interested in reading that. So, we went to the Mall of America this past weekend - sounds like fun, right? Did I mention I have five kids??? Holy crap. I have never been so bent out of shape in my life. Every fifteen minutes I was looking for a different one. They kept wandering off. Forget the fact I told them to stay close or to check in, they didn't pay one bit of attention. It was like they saw the bright lights and were drawn as far away from me as possible. You would think that two of us could keep track of the five of them, nope. It's not like it happened once either. It happened over and over and over. I'm thinking that might be the last trip there for awhile. The worst one was when we went to dinner and when Max finished he got up and left, I assumed he was going to the bathroom. He never came back. He was gone for over two hours before we found him. My nerves are still shot. He says he told me were he was going, but I highly doubt it! I am such a glutton for punishment that after we found him we still stayed another hour or two and I they got lost a couple more times. My kids do not learn very fast. Nor do I, apparently.
We spent Sunday driving home. A trip that normally takes about 3 hours took us eight. We drove up to Rice Lake to have pie-really good pie, mind you, and then over to Rhinelander to look at the businesses and then south to get home. The kids were really good until about an hour and a half from home and then the bickering started and didn't stop until we pulled off of the highway near the house. But even with the knock down drag out in the back seat I had a very nice day, at least they were all contained in the car and I could see them. It's amazing what one can put up with when she sets her mind to it!
