Blurry Monday evening

I had enough caffeine that I wasn't too blurry for the rest of the day. I was tired, though, and then we went shopping for cleats, etc.

I won't tell you how many sport shoe stores in the mall did not have cleats. Anyway, the shin guards rang up at 99 cents, so big, huge savings there. Cleats and socks finally found at Big 5 Sporting Goods a bit up the road from the mall. Shoulda just gone there. Only if we had, The Toddler wouldn't have been able to play for a while in the mall play area and the boys chase after her.

DS2 very worried about guns they sell in Big 5. "Why do they sell guns there if shooting's not a sport?" Well, some people say it is. Target shooting, hunting, etc. Trying so very hard not to editorialize too much.

Now DS2 running around the house and yard in his new shoes. At least they'll be broken in, right?

DS1 has been loud and attention-seeking all afternoon and into the evening. Some of his friends are going for a sleepover with one of the boys, apparently on a houseboat. DS1 not invited and other boys talking about it in front of him. And the afternoon was all about finding shoes for DS2. Rough day for a nine year old.

DD only slept for about an hour earlier and is tired tired tired. Bed time sooner than usual, I think. Especially for me.
