Shopping

I used to enjoy shopping. What happened? Today I was out with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old running errands. My minivans power locks decided to fail. That was fun. Especially when I have 5 different places I need to go. Then Dylan has screaming fits (ear piercing screams) in nearly every store we go into. Then I get home and find Alana eating candy in her room that I did NOT purchase. Lovely. This is the second time she has been caught stealing in the past week (the first time was at school). I am reading parenting books like crazy these days to try to get me through what is turning out to be a very trying time. UGH!!! Somebody please tell me it will get better. Pretty please!
