Yes, I was that Mom today

Today was a slow day. Jake was gone all day studying and my Mom left to go to Oregon to visit my sister and her family. So it was just me and the kids again. Peyton got a high fever of 102.7 and it really freaked me out. The fever responded to the tylenol and now she doesn't have a fever. After her nap I decided to go get her a sprite from McDonalds because she wasn't drinking anything. So I figured the sprite could be a start and I might as well get a refreshing beverage as well.

As we were leaving I remembered we had to go to the store for the basic staples of bread, milk, apples and chips (they were on sale). So I was wearing my lounge capris and a dirty t-shirt, wearing no make up and my hair looked like it hadn't been done in days.......but that didn't stop me from going to Vons. (This morning I went to Vons in my penguin pajamas to get donuts with my hair in a similar fashion)

Peyton and Luke sat in one of the carts that has a car in front of it. All Luke did was harrass Peyton. She kept screaming and Luke kept sticking out of the cart. He wasn't wearing shoes because I was too lazy to force him and he kept running around and coming back.

People were staring and no one was impressed with my mothering skills. I got the glares of 'Control your children' and 'Really...you wore that in public?' and 'Hmm....honey, you might want to do something with you hair and face'....and 'I see you can't afford shoes for your kids and there are programs for that'.

I rewarded my horrible shopping experience with a refreshing beverage and a caramel sundae from McDonalds.
