There are times when you are forgetful, and then there are
times you are FORGETFUL!!! Yesterday, I was the Queen of all forgetfulness! I
went to food lion, with the intent of buying milk, and $75.00 dollars later, I
was heading home with bags and bags of groceries. Now, when I brought them in
the house and lifted them for the 5th time, (Once into the cart,
then onto the belt, then back into the cart, and then into my trunk---this is
great exercise people!!!) I came to a terrible realization……….I bought
everything in Food Lion, but the MILK!!!!! UGH!
Well, I figured ok, I will go back out after dinner to the
Dollar General and grab a gallon. I set out on my journey to get this precious
milk, the little misfits insist they need and I get distracted. Why is it they
need to put clearance stuff in the doorway??? Don’t they know us bargain
shoppers can’t help ourselves? Long story short, I get home, walk in with more
bags, and realize…..I FORGOT THE MILK for the second time!!!!! At this point my
husband was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe… I of course did not think
it was that funny. So back out I went, but this time I finally remembered the
milk. I really need to start carrying post-its stuck to me! HAHA!!! So my point
is, when you think your memory is awful, reflect back on my story and have a
good laugh.
The girl misfit has been in rare form the past two weeks. If
she wasn’t 3, I would think we were verging on a puberty “moment” if you know
what I mean. Teen years are going to be scary, and I have decided when this
time officially comes, I am putting in a panic room stocked with chocolate. The
only decision that needs to be made is who is going to get locked in there….her???....or
me????
When I was getting her dressed she did not want to get out
of her pajamas.
I said, “Why are you being so grumpy and whiney??”
Girl Misfit: “Me not grumpy!”
Me: “Well cupcake, I hate to tell you this but you are being grumpy and we need to get
ready.”
Girl Misfit: “Ok, me grumpy, where’s cupcake?”
Me: ”I will put one in your lunch.” (But what I was thinking
was, your good at changing your mind when it’s convenient, are you really only
3?….)
I am starting to think the misfits are messing with me to
get cupcakes….little do they know, I just ate the last one! There must be a Bible
verse to the effect of when you have grumpy and whiney children the parent is
entitled to the last cupcake right???
I hope and pray everyone is staying safe in this weather!!
