That MOM

I have become THAT MOM.....that mom in the grocery store who is yelling at her kids.
I am that mom in the store that seems like she has TOO many kids, and her kids have dirty faces, bugger noses & stained clothes with their shoes on the wrong feet!! And everyone is starring at her and judging her! I can't believe I have become HER!



I felt like today was the WORST day! I went to school lunch and the boys were being so naughty, smearing food all over, they were doing gross things with their food! I was holding Kenz and trying to wipe up after my boys, and trying to get them to EAT, and it seemed like I kept saying Over and OVER...STOP THAT & don't DO that!!! I was so frustrated and embarrassed that my children would be acting this way!! But I know, they are just kids!!

Then I head over to Wal*Mart, my oh so NOT favorite store, that like most of you, I don't want to be there, but I end up there! And the boys were running all over the place. I kept yelling and counting and threatening them with vinegar!! But why would they want to listen to ME?! They were running into people, running in front of them!! Arrggg! HJ was putting ALL these HUGE toys at the bottom of the cart. Po likes to run through the isles and see how far away he can get from me & then eventually find me again!! It drives me NUTS! They were not listening, they had red jell-o all over their faces and clothes & other pieces of lunch smeared on them. We were quite the sight to see!! So we are finally done shopping, I go to check out and this older lady is the checker. HJ was trying to "help" & put the crayons up on the belt & ended up tossing them too far and they landed right in front of the lady. She immediately SNAPS at him.....DON'T you DO THAT! I was like okay.... so then HJ starts turning the little lazy susan bag holder thingy around and around and she gets mad at him again, now she is getting on my nerves! (I wanted to say- hey these are MY kids and only I CAN yell at them!!) whatever!! I am almost done. Then Kenz starts CRYING and my credit card wasn't working and I had to keep swiping it! By this time both the boys were playing in one of those drink coolers by the registers. I told them to come over by me & as usual they weren't listening!! And HJ is holding a sprite that he wants me to buy and I am telling him NO......so now the teller lady walks over and is pulling him away and shutting the door saying, our CUSTOMERS want COLD DRINKS! So I pull him over to the cart, I am SOO DONE! So now he is yelling and screaming, just to add to my baby crying, and the huge long line forming behind us & I am just trying to pay for my D@#* GROCERIES!!! Finally the card works and I can get the HECK out of there!! So there I am, people staring....dragging my 3 year old who is yelling horrible things at me & I am pushing the cart with my screaming baby inside of it & telling my 5 year old that he better get over here, NOW, because I AM LEAVING!

I really hate days like these! Now, I didn't write this as a "Oh Poor ME!" But it feels good to just let it all out & know that most of you have had days like these too!
