Today is Presidents Day, which is basically the lamest excuse for a day off of school. We woke up at 7:30 and basically watched movies until noon. At which point I decided it was time to go to the grocery store since we have been eating pancakes for every meal for a more than a few days now.
So off we went.
As we got out of the car to go into the store, I told my daughter that she may not bring her blanket with her. Wo, she did not like that. As we walked from the car toward the store she began screaming, kicking, crying that she wanted her blanket. (it's her nap time) I told her over and over that we would be really quick and she could have it when we got back in the car but only if she stopped crying. That did nothing. She continued to have a fit, we are now on the sidewalk in front of the store, I walk ahead of her ignoring her bad behavior to see if she would run and catch up with me, she didn't. I turn the corner to enter the store and hear her scream. I look back to see that she has somehow tripped and fallen into the road. Did I say that I also have a 5 year old and a baby in a car seat with me? I park the car seat on the sidewalk and tell my 5 yr old to STAY HERE. I run back to my daughter and explain to her in specific detail why she cannot have her blanket and try to reason with her. This girl is tired and kind reasoning in front of strangers is not working. People are staring, laughing and I am losing it. I get 2 inches from her face and in my softest sharpest voice tell her that she has 3 seconds to stop crying or I am throwing her blanket in the garbage. 1....still crying, 2.........still crying, and a very loud, very mean 3! SHE STOPS.
We have finally made it into the store.
I go quickly grabbing everything I can including milk, bread and a few other things I have vouchers for, when I suddenly realize I have forgotten my vouchers. But we are completely out of milk, bananas, and juice which are necessary right now. There is no way in hell I am packing these kids back in the car, running home, then coming back and re-shopping for all this stuff. So I just continue getting what I need and say screw the vouchers.
As we are shopping my daughter takes a banana from the bunch I grabbed and is using it as a gun aimed at her brother, but somewhere along the road she lost the banana. My kids say they know where it is and will run and grab it 2 isles over. I tell them to go quickly and come right back. 17 minutes later of scouring the store in search for what I think are my 2 abducted children, and one cart run-in with a bitter drug addict I finally found them.
It's time to go.
I head to checkout and quickly get my items paid for.As I approach my car I notice that the car next to me has left 6 inches for me to get into my car and there is no way in hell i can fit my babies car seat in the car.
It's time to lose it.
I begin to cuss my brains out as I contemplate how I'm going to get my baby in the car. Should I set him in the trunk while I move my car? Should I put him in the front seat? Should I? Should I? Should I?
Decision.
I walk over to the other side of the car and tell my 2 olders to get out and so I can try to put the baby and his car seat in on their side and squeeze it past their car seats to get it into it's spot. Well, Olive climbs out, and of course, her car seat somehow falls out on top of her.
I know, you didn't think it could get worse did you.
Now it gets better.
My shopping cart is sitting in the middle of the parking lot because I have my hands full trying to figure all this crap out. A worker comes to grab the cart. I'm at that throat choking point, ya know, like about to cry, but still holding strong as I ask her to help me.
I put Nash in the cart and asked her to watch him for a minute. Even if she thought I was going to bolt on her, she was still nice enough to help. I got Olive calmed and kissed better, got her car seat and her back into the car and pulled out of my parking spot to fit mister Nash in.
So THANK YOU Smith's worker, whoever you are. You played a small roll in my day today but really helped me out a lot. And one thing is for sure. I am NEVER taking 3 kids to the grocery store again. But I LOVE THEM LOTS.
The end.

PLease don't ever try that again! I was feeling anxiety, and rage, and random cuss words while reading this. These mom moments are funny in a few days or years, right?
Good call to document the event. Sometimes I can't believe how hard motherhood is! Definitley not for the weak. Thanks for the laugh.
One minor drawback is that the radiator does get quite hot.
Some suggestions for this during the treatment
time include:. Christmas stockings make for a fire hazard if they are too close to the flames or not secured well enough and
they actually fall into the fire.

Toothpick: it allows the removal of large debris accumulated in the interdental spaces is often inaccessible to the bristles of the brush.
Then sonic models, including brushing helps sweep clean
effectively between the teeth. If yours does not and your bristles
tend to wear out quickly, ask your dentist to show you
the proper pressure you should be using while brushing
your teeth.

An acupuncturist should warn the patient that this could happen and instruct them to breathe deeply into the area for a few minutes until
the discomfort dissipates. But many shy away from using them after reading horror stories
of house fires that were caused because of their use. Are you thinking about
building or remodeling your home but want to do it in an environmentally friendly
way.

Examples are : A Heartful of Love, Be Mine,
Be My Valentine etc. Do you need mail order or
do you prefer to see and touch your materials before purchasing.
I have many such items on the front of my fridge and I have always struggled with powerful magnets that didn't take up too much space.

Because of to their design and style and how the oscillating blades are positioned, they are capable
to develop outstanding shaving benefits. I'm guessing that the makers figured the shaver is so cheap that most people would just buy a new shaver instead of getting blades for it. To fans just getting started, I'd go heavy into the course.
