Yup that was me

The mom in Target that looked like she might just try and run for it. Last week (yes we are part of the weekly sometimes bi/tri-weekly target run team) my boys were perfect little angels. They were singing nicely with each other and keeping their hands to themselves. We had young sweet (read naive) women smiling at us adoringly, and thinking that's how perfect my family will be when I finally convince the new hubby to donate his sperm, oh sorry I mean make sweet passionate love to me and create life. And we had little old ladies, commenting on how well behaved my boys were and probably thinking back to the days that her now grown children were so good. I'm sure those days are easy to remember because they were so few and far between. (yes you do sense some tension in my voice today). Well today was a COMPLETELY different story. M, the oldest, could not keep his grubby little hands off E. Let me paint the picture (good thing I'm not really painting cause you'd never be able to figure it out I paint even worse than I write). E is 2 and sits up in the seat, B sits in his car seat in the back and M walks beside the carriage holding on like a nice little gentleman(ha). Well today M was attempting to stand on the side of the carriage (usually it keeps us from stopping every 2 seconds) but he decided that it was better for him to keep poking E. And E, who was grumpy to begin with, would scream at the top of his lungs for M to stop. So down M was told to get from the carriage and he needed to hold my hand. Yah that's really easy for me to hold his hand while attempting to push a carriage that won't drive straight even with two hands. So to make a long story even longer, M just refused to walk. He didn't even give me the decency of a noodle leg he just stood still and made it look like I was dragging him along the main aisle of Target. So I just let go of him, I didn't want to end up on youtube in some security video looking like I was abusing my 4 year old. A lady that was following too close behind me (you have no idea how hard it was for me to not turn around and be like back the f*%k up lady) almost ran him over cause he fell in the middle of the floor. Things didn't get any worse after that but they sure didn't get any better. Unfortunately an opportunity for me to just run away never showed itself. Which I guess is a good thing cause I'm sure eventually I'll have at least one more dream trip to Target cause I know I'll be there about 999,999,999,342.1 more times in my lifetime. Note to self tomorrow at Target buy everything on the list we forgot today and some running shoes just in case.
Thanks for reading this has definitely helped reduced the stress of today
