That's the frustrating thing. One moment we can have a relatively normal shopping trip (leading me to think "we should do this more often--I really don't need to avoid this--wow, maybe I'll make every Thursday "errand" day and I'll go get things done with the kids"). And then comes the next Thursday, and things are thrown out of the cart, and they're fighting over who gets to sit in the cart and who gets to walk, and then somebody drops a picture frame....uh huh....And then I think, "nope, no errand day on Thursdays. Errands are done after Daddy gets home." Until I try it again and it goes ok....So goes my life. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040540777292370022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037448079954692550.post-84888143226220003092008-08-17T20:36:00.000-07:002008-08-17T20:36:00.000-07:00You can tell a female who has had children and one...You can tell a female who has had children and one who hasn't by the look on their faces when they walk by a screaming child in a store. The one who has not had children has a judgemental look about her that screams, "get control of your child." The one with children has the look that says, "thank goodness that is not mine... today."Pate Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579711034536534752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037448079954692550.post-36736932483384800742008-08-15T08:29:00.000-07:002008-08-15T08:29:00.000-07:00Oh I have SO been there recently.

I will never judge again!!! I even saw a mom from my church that I don't know too well and she gave me the "judging look"...sigh...bad day. Yes my kids are out of control sometimes too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037448079954692550.post-69176604230327058782008-08-14T18:50:00.000-07:002008-08-14T18:50:00.000-07:00Oh how I feel for you Jenne.

She was screaming as loud as she could. I went about my buisness and then said sorry to a lady in line with me. She said, <BR/>"oh honey, don't be sorry. We have all been there as mothers of small children. If a mom has not experienced it yet, she will. Your doing the right thing" That lady made me feel so much better.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18304589473107278643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037448079954692550.post-55783332949057804702008-08-14T08:26:00.000-07:002008-08-14T08:26:00.000-07:00Shopping with kids...Oh Jenne, that is SO, SO hila...Shopping with kids...Oh Jenne, that is SO, SO hilarious to read, although frustrating as heck I'm sure, when you're in the moment. Red and black seatbelts??? Why does it seem to be the most absurd thing that they end up arguing over??? Oh, you crack me up the way you write about it. Hang in there! And no, I won't judge you when I hear that screaming in the store, trust me, I understand completely!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136357927834621203noreply@blogger.com
