The boys have mostly recovered from a very difficult morning. They were very quiet when they got home, which normally, I’d be throwing into the win column but they were quiet for the wrong reasons.

Eventually, the quiet turned into screaming and yelling because Elliott and Emmett were at each other’s throats. They just sorta turned on each other.

We’re now finishing up dinner and I’m taking everyone to the park. I feel like shit right now because this whole thing has me physically and emotionally exhausted. This is a lot to deal with, especially when I have my own emotional struggles I’m working through. That really doesn’t matter because there’s a greater good being served by pushing myself a little more than I’d like to tonight. These guys need a distraction and what better distraction is there than Mother Nature.

The weather is hot but pleasant and the kids love seeing the butterflies at the Garden Center.

Last time we went, we lost count of all the honey bees we saw. That’s awesome because we’ve only seen a handful over the last couple of summers.

Anyway, we have a very busy day tomorrow and I need to pick up a few things in order to be ready for it. ☺

I really don’t feel like going anywhere right now but I’m going to pack everyone up and head out anyway. Wish me luck.. ☺
