I can relate with your swimming experience b/c it is a sweat-filled and intense moment to do! It's scary having kids that can't swim!! And to think that you are making all these efforts just to give them a fun afternoon and secure an early bedtime:) <BR/><BR/>Keep on postin' these "real" stories b/c we all love 'em.jDubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349209305067299072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126423433287321402.post-46603776006525655542007-06-29T19:11:00.000-04:002007-06-29T19:11:00.000-04:00I feel your pain. We went to the beach yesterday ...I feel your pain. We went to the beach yesterday with a big group of friends and I actually rode in my friends car with her. Anna saw the yummy new pack of pringles I bought for us to snack on as I buckled her in and immediately needed some. Well, not my car and I'm not about to start handing out those precious chips to all five kids driving with us. So I simply promise her that as soon as we get to the beach we'll open them. Cue tantrum, by the way her cry is one of those really high pitched ones that makes you crawl out of your skin. She screamed the entire way to the beach, this doesn't seem so bad since the beach is only 10 minutes away, except for the fact that we went to a new beach 25minutes away. By the time we got there I yanked her out of the car and threw her (safely) onto the sidewalk. I am trying desperately not to beat my child while I have three other moms with me yet let her know that I AM REALLY MAD! I can't carry her and all the beach gear so I basically drag her along the side of me with her in hysterics and Madison walking so slowly in front of me I keep clipping her heals, cue her cry! By the time we get to the beach I am almost in tears and I think to myself, what was I thinking having another one...I AM CRAZY! Gotta love those moments. NOw, to all of you with just one, not everyday is like this, but when they come they really hit hard! I love this blogging thing!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899659080402668351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126423433287321402.post-53358103357475645502007-06-28T17:45:00.000-04:002007-06-28T17:45:00.000-04:00Yes - we will be in Utah for the 4th, then we head...Yes - we will be in Utah for the 4th, then we head to ID for a couple days.

Gotta love the eletrical storms in pittsburgh!
