A few weeks ago we were at Costco getting a pizza for lunch because my kids were soooo good all day long. They were at a babysitters while I was at work and so was there dad. (He was doing some temp work for a guy from our church.) We have just picked up the pizza, it is lunch time on Thursday, the cashier lines are full of people eager to get home and eat, the concession stand was full of people getting pizza and hotdogs, and the tables in the food court are filling up. (Probably about 200 people in the front of the store, all in complete view). I am in work clothes, which means nice dry clean only pants, a white shirt, and open toed high heel sandals. I have the pizza in the cart and I am getting the kids cups of water. Micah says "Hold you" I turn just in time to see him lose all of his breakfast all over himself and the ground and the cart. Thankfully Esther is puke free. Unfortunately I have to clean him up, switch carts, ect, ect, ect. This means of course that I have to pick him up, and if any of you have kids when they are sick, or have just gotten sick you know that they want held. Thats right, my clean work clothes and white shirt are about to be covered in pucke.
By this time, ONE associate has come over to clean the massive amount of throw up that has just come out of my little boy. We jet to the bathroom to do some real clean up while on lookers are saying comforting words like "Oh that is gross", "Disgusting, there goes my appitite", and of course "Why is she at the store if her kids are sick?" Thank you very much, my kids were not sick that morning. They had not been sick at all until about 3 minutes ago when my son lost his breakfast. Excuse me for not being a mind reader and looking into the future to see if my son was going to get sick at the store. I am sooo sorry that my ill child ruined YOUR lunch. By the way thankyou to the one person who actually said "Oh, poor baby. His tummy probably feels better now."
By the way did I mention that I left the diaper bag in the car which had a change of clothes, diaper, and wipes in it? We were only going to be in the store for 10 minutes.
So, how has your summer been going?
