Some Days They Try Your Patience

Today the kids were extra active and frustrating. I stopped by McDonalds to get dinner after I picked up the kids. As usual, I could not sit still and eat without Sugarpuff running around and getting into trouble and annoying other customers in the restaurant. As I tried to eat, he tried climbing onto all the tables, intruded on other family's tables by touching their things or walking through their table area, invaded the janitor's closet, and upturned the soda onto the floor. This is typical of a day after school with Sugarpuff. I always try holding him while I eat but he struggles so hard that eventually I have a hard time trying to eat while holding him so I have to let him go.
