and then the room started to spin
Parenthood seems to have peaks and valleys of difficulty-- it's always tough, just sometimes moreso than others. The past few weeks have been very intense: Khai is growing and changing SO fast, testing boundaries and exploring the depths of my patience. He has pushed, nay, jumped on every button I've got. Hopefully this is just a nasty phase at the tail end of the terrible twos and will be all but forgotten within a month... unless it lands me in a mental institution. I'll relive it over and over and over as I rock back and forth in my white, padded cell.
Katie took me out yesterday so I could escape the madness for a bit. We headed to old downtown Carrollton for lunch and then browsed the shops and antique stores. I loved some of the clothes at Sooz Unique Boutique and definitely will be going back to Scentsations-- you can choose your own oil blends for bath & body products.
After several hours, we headed back to the house so that Katie could watch the boys while Josh and I went out to dinner and a movie. Ironically enough, we went right back to Carrollton to eat at Tasty Greek (1906 E Belt Line Rd #A)-- YUMMMMEH! We were surprised by this hole-in-the-wall restaurant... it was some of the best Greek food I've had. Feeling fat & sassy, we left for the movie. V for Vendetta didn't impress me much-- decent premise, but it felt kind of hollow. It also seemed too long, though Natalie Portman is on my girlcrush list so I won't complain too much. If I looked that good with a shaved head I'd never have long hair again!
Oh, I almost forgot-- on Friday night I made amaretto brownies. They were so, so good. I kind of made it up as I went (experimental cooking at it's finest, y'all) and so don't have a recipe to share yet. I'm going to make more soon and am actually planning to measure things and write them down as I go this time.
Khai is having another tantrum. I think my brain is shutting down.
