A Vent and a Hurrah
First the vent because I would like to end on a positive note!
Vent on!* Running errands = hell. I almost broke down crying in the post office today because of how bad the boys have been treating me when we go out to stores. I get so stressed out when I have to run errands like going grocery shopping or to the post office. Connor is fine as long as I can strap him in the stroller or cart. But the older boys are constantly after eachother, swinging their arms by glass, chasing eachother, running down the aisles
I've gotten some good advice related to the above. Obviously if leaving them with Jason or a baby-sitter was an option, I'd choose that! Things get accomplished so much faster when it's just me. I could grocery shop at 2am. I could bribe 'em with snacks or a quarter ride. I could forgo the shopping altogether and send Jason but a family cannot subsist on Cheetos and Dr. Pepper alone. Aarrggghhh. My boys used to like shopping and now they are convinced it's some form of torture. I say "shop" and the whining commences. *Vent off.
Now for the really good stuff. Jason got a raise. All because of 1 test question being overturned! He took a test back in April to do broadband tech placement. He placed as a broadband technician 3, just one question shy of placing as a level 4. Well he found a discrepancy with one of the questions so he typed up a letter and gave it to his supervisor and it went all the way to corporate and the higher up mucky-mucks and well, turns out he was right! So he gets a raise, the title of broadband technician 4, and backpay for all the time he's worked since April! I'm so proud of him. Hurrah! With that note, I better go get some sleep. Tomorrow is a soccer day.

Oh, that is great! Good for Jason!
I have no advice on the boys. I do know it's harder to go shopping now that I have two.
