It all started last night. My foot wasn’t doing too good but we had to go to Target. We needed to get a couple decorations for our tree and some egg nog in which they didn’t have the kind we like (Southern Comfort Vannila Spice). This is a tradition we started a couple yrs back or so. We listen to Christmas music, eat cookies, drink egg nog and have a merry ole time. Besides, we had to get the tree up last night because she needed to be watered…...don’t worry, I didn’t name her LOL.
Anyway, we get to Target and of course the first place I stop at was Starbuks. Jason just shook his head and said “Fine, I’ll have one too”. I am slowly converting him lol! Well, I got a Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha……HEAVEN……ya gotta go get one! So then we are off to shop, first stop…..looking at decorations, some where nice but not what we are looking for except for the Talking Yoda stalking I tried to talk Jason into getting, he says the same thing ALL time…”Do or do not, there is no try.” So after a few laughs in the “we aren’t doing this to ourselves with new talking stalkings on Christmas morning we are off to brows our way to the egg nog (which I still can’t believe they didn’t have).
So there I am strolling my cart along while Jason is trying to find a remote toy Tarantula when I felt a bump, mind you I had a car seat with Michael in the top of the cart blocking my view. I immediately thought I hit an end-cap so I walked around the cart to see if I knocked anything down. I looked to my left, I saw nothing in front of the cart, so I said hum….and then went to the right and there it was…..a little boy and I mean a little boy walked out and stared at me so I said “Oh sweetie are you okay?”…….Of course he wasn’t! This strange woman towering over him asking if he is ok …..After bumping into him with a giant cart and he doesn’t speak any English.
So what happens next? He starts to cry of course!….so, I’m thinking… oh Lord! I look around and see NO parent, so I ask him if he’s okay, again and he moves away from me crying like I am about to kill him running to an aisle where I see two women pop their heads out from the baby section! He was in the toy section! Alone! Well…….thankfully? he wasn’t old enough to speak or I would have needed someone to translate the obscenities they would be yelling at me wondering what I did to this boy, who was in front of my cart, and who was only a knee high to a grass hopper… LOL. I couldn’t help but laugh when I told Jason. More importantly, I told Jason someone could have very easily taken this boy and they would have never known!! Now that bothered me!
Well…….we leave Target, but not before getting my Chipmuck Christmas CD! Jason thought it was crazy and couldn’t believe I was serious LOL! The girls loved it and I laughed the whole way to Walmart where they carry our egg nog, and I almost hit another little boy playing by his parents truck with his remote control car in the pitch dark while driving around waiting for Jason to come back out! Lucky for him there wasn’t a car seat in my view lol!
So why isn't everyone as good a mom as I am? I am perfect you know.....says the SRLM (Self Righteous lying Mom) LOL!
