Bad Momma!

Does any other Mom feel like you get in more trouble now as a mother... a grown adult, rather than when you were you a teen???

I DO!!!

Let me share.

I got pulled over again tonight. Bleh. You gotta love Ironwood at night, you can never see those sneaky little buggars hiding on the side. I got pulled over about 4 months ago too. I attribute both of them to being distracted by my kids! Lucky Me, got out of both of them. 4 months ago, I cried and played the "I'm pregnant and tired" card, tonight I was just chill and had all my junk ready and just said "Can I ask why you pulled me over?" When a giant grasshopper flew in the car door and in my mouth!!! I screamed, He laughed! It's all history from there. Go Me!

Target. Either a Moms best friend or worst nightmare. Depends on the day and naps. So before I was a Mom... if I dropped something on the ground at a store i.e.: a shirt on a hanger, I would pick it up. With kids, Forget it! Whats dropped is left. Well, not the best policy. I get a lot of glares from the "Softlines" crew (a little Lingo for anyone who has worked at Target!), they hate the Moms, I swear.

As we were leaving Target, and I was loading the troops in the car, I noticed Chloe spilled her Slurpie in the street. I left it... along with all of the popcorn and pizza mess in the cart. I am horrible I know. The Groundskeeper lady pulled up next to me and just stared at me while she SLOWLY picked up the slurpie cup with her grabber thing. I just drove off as fast as I could to escape the embarassment.

HA! Speaking of embarassment. I think I may have gotten myself into trouble today if I would have followed my emotions. Listen. Chloe at Fry's today decided to throw one of those ridiculously embarassing tantrums, you know the one where they lay on the floor, Yeah. I tried everything to get her to stop. I told her I was leaving and hid around the corner, spying to make sure no one took her. I bribed. I whisper-yelled in her ear. I eh-em...spanked her. Ok, so this is where it starts. People seriously are ready to kill you if you spank your kid in a store. WHY??? Its like a tap on the butt, not a smack in the face! So when this lady decided to stare at me, while I argued with my 2 yr old about why she needed to GET OFF THE FLOOR, I was very close to saying "Can I help you? Or did you want to help me or something??" Trouble again.

Anyone's kids steal yet??? Mine do!!! Trouble, because I am too lazy to walk it back into the store and explain to them that my daughter "really wanted these batteries" so she took them. So I excitedly put them in my purse...remembering that toy that needed new batteries!
I could go on and on, but I will spare you! Have a Good weekend :)
