Awesome day at the zoo.

Okay we had an awesome day at the zoo. At one point (in the beginning) April and I were discussing how things have changed so much. It used to be so challenging. Today it was almost blissful. April said, "wow, this is almost relaxing!" How did it turn so quickly for the worse?! Literally 30 minutes later I was wondering how much I would have to pay for childcare to work full time. Jackson just couldn't take one more minute. "I am so so so so hungry!" He shouted that repeatedly while others mom's look at me like the kid was really starving. It was 11am. We got there at like 10am. Juliet started screaming in her backpack. Everyone was just melting down so quickly. We had decided to eat lunch there. I have been there well over 20 times and have only ate there once or twice. The food is outrageously priced and honestly it tastes like poop. They make so much money. Why does the food have to be so horrible? So, I decided if we are leaving afterwards I am just going to go straight to the car and pick something up on the way home. Plus, there are snacks in the car. Halfway to the car we decide to get drinks and those big salty pretzels for the kids. Really? How do you screw up a pretzel? Ask the zoo. There's are horrible! They really should be used as treats for the animals. Instead we paid $3/ea for the disgusting things. Drinks and pretzels and $30 later we headed to the car. Okay, looking back we should have just made a run for it before the snacks. The snacks seemed to have an opposite effect on the kids and they were terrible. They were probably just pissed we fed them those horrible pretzels. The parking lot felt like I was doing the mini marathon again with tons of kids in tow. Braxton kept running away from April. April tried to hold his hand. He kept twirling his body in circles to break free of her. Instead the kid nearly broke his arm twice. Poor kid has smarts like his Daddy. Just kidding, April. So, Braxton is running away from us and I can't get Jackson to walk. I think I yelled so many times, "Jackson run!" He just kept getting slower and slower. I couldn't carry him because I had Juliet on my back. Which at this point she is just crying. The whole way walking to the car Savanah is pouring her $4 drink out all over the ground. Then I start yelling at her, "do you know how much your Mommy paid for that?!" People were just staring at us. Which, that just infuriates me. Why do people find it so entertaining to watch others discipline their children?! One of these days I will 'accidentally' let me mouth go. It makes me want to super glue their eyes open for a week! People want to stare, I will make sure they won't be able to stop! Okay, I will calm down now. Alright, later I will post pics of the day. They are the blissful moments, not the craziness.
