I never thought I would do this...

So I was shopping at the grocery store yesterday, if I looked stressed it was because I was. I just found out Kena has a double ear infection and pink eye and had a sick hubby at home. I remember at some point that morning, Crap I forgot to eat breakfast! So add to stressed out...cranky. I decided to go down the 'dreaded' cracker aisle. I say dreaded because if you know me at all...crackers are my weakness. As I went to grab the saltines for Adam...ooooh 10 for 10 individually boxed animal crackers and ritz crackers. Perfect for Kena, oh yeah and Kena was with me. As I dumped the crackers into my cart Kena saw the beautifully red classic animal cracker box. I gave her the box thinking "well all she wants to do is play with the box". WRONG! She screamed/cried then proceeded to 'try' to open the box. I said 'no kena, we need to pay for it'. As I was saying this she started to scream/cry louder, which then she started to cough...because she is sick. So here it is mamas...

I opened a unpaid for box of animal crackers to let my child eat them as I shopped.

I have never done that in my life. Never did it growing up, never did it as an adult. Now, of course I did pay for it. As I paid for it I told her the sad story of "she has a double ear infection and pink eye". Yeah that will make you look like a cool mom.

There you go...add that to my list of "things I thought I would never do as a mom"...add to that I let her watch tv too. Seriously, some one arrest me!

Hang in there Sara! We have all done that or still do it! Or, even better, bribe our children with gum or candy at the check out if they would "just let mommy finish shopping"! :-)

It's ok! Really!!! :-)
