Today was one of those days.... I decided to go to JoAnn's to get some costume supplies for Halloween. Got there and the kids were behaving well, that didn't last long. Jet had a melt down over this light he wanted. I was waiting in line to get some fabric cut and had about 10 people in front of me. Jet gets mad and kicks me :) (I wasn't laughing at the time) so I grabbed him and put him in the cart, all the while trying to hold Finny. Jet starts screaming. I can tell all these old ladies are looking at me probably going over in their heads what I should be doing with my children. I just tried to make the best of the situation without losing it, finally they call my number, I get my fabric cut as fast as I can with Jet still yelling. At this point Finn is squirming trying to get out of my arms.... I walk away from the JoAnn's counter with Jet screaming and Finn hitting me in the face as I'm trying to dodge his little hand. I survived...... we made it through the line and out the door. Sometimes I wonder why I even try to take the kids anywhere. It seems like this is how it usually turns out. It's funny how your perspective on motherhood changes after you have kids.... now I know what my mom went through. Thanks mom!!

Oh those moments - I have become a wimp lately and hardly dare brave the fabric store with my kids. Way to hang in there!
I remember being at the store or out somewhere before I had kids and if someone's kid(s) were freaking out, I just thought (or said outloud), man, get control things! Don't let that kid rule you like that. Boy, do I think differently now. Sometimes it's all you can do to make it home alive from a simple outing.
good post Bessie, I think we all have those days!
