Fourth of July

Happy 4th of July, Americans. Woo-hoo, yay, firecrackers and all that good noise.

I have spent most of my day lounging around the house, checking email, feeding kids, showering, doing laundry. Thankfully I had the day off from work, always nice (well usually, sometimes when the kids are insane, I'd like the refuge of my quiet office).

Tonight we're going to go see the fireworks. Fun. Might bring a bottle of vino and some munchies. A blanket. Maybe a radio. Sparklers, maybe. We're pretty darn broke right now and it is really hard. I don't know what it is about making more money and not having more. Seems like we should be ahead. I don't want to think about it. There's a carnival at the park where the fireworks are going to be so I KNOW the kids are going to be all whiny about rides. But we're saving up for a different carnival and there will be no rides tonight. Which will bring on whining, surely. Because we've done something wrong in our child-rearing and raised some really whiny kids.

Not that I don't love them, but man. They are a whiny lot. Trying to combat that a bit. Anyone else have whiners?
