Bad poster

I haven't been posting as frequently lately because again, I'm finding myself wiped out at the end of the day. Both of the kids (and me!) are sick right now with "the crud". Fevers and runny noses, up all night because no one can breathe. Yippee.

So instead of a long story. Here are a few short ones.

Lily woke up crying hard last night and wouldn't stop. After over an hour of holding her and trying to get her to calm down and go to sleep nothing was working. I finally turned on her light and she looked right at me and said "HI!". I said, Lily, that's enough, it's time to go night-night. She looked at her crib, looked and me and said, "nnnnnno." That's when I left her in there to figure it out.

I was at the grocery store today and I was in the juice/salad dressing aisle. I was picking up a bottle of red wine vinegar when I heard a lady behind me. She was letting her 7 year old child (I'm guestimating based on his size) ride in the little kid car - cart. He was crammed in there all hunched up. He said, MOM! Can we get... She stopped him before he could finished and said, "no mikey, chemicals, that's all that's in there. Nasty, badforyou chemicals, we don't eat disgusting chemicals. They are bad for you and it's dangerous to drink them. We only drink organic drinks."

You know what she was talking about? Capri Suns. It was obvious she was talking at me. You know how people do this sometimes. Have a loud conversation for your benefit. She even glanced my way to make sure I was listening to her rant.

If you know me, you know what I did next. Making sure she saw me, I grabbed a box, put it in my cart and walked passed her with my two toddlers. Smiling the whole way. I don't even like Capri suns. Thinking back I should have told her that "water" is also a chemical.

well, I've got more but guess what...it's 10pm, and I got two babies already crying...another long night...
