I have gotten into a good routine with our week and Fridays are grocery store day. For the last few weeks, I have been off schedule and we ended up going today. I have been sending the husband to work without lunch or coffee, poor guy and he hasn't said a thing! So today we go...I have armed with treats and a talk about being good boy, blah, blah- I say blah blah bc that is what Sam heard as I gave him that pep talk. So the store goes like this...... We get there and he throws fit #1 to sit in the back of the cart. I figure we can discuss moving to the front after we get into the store. That was also mistake #1....
We start in the back of the store. 3 isles into or trip, he stands up and won't sit in the back. I threaten with a warning, haha, that is what goes on in Sam's mind. I remind him a sucker is at stake if he can't be a good boy. At that point he yells, so I pop him- yes I spank people! Then he yells and it is a piercing yell that echoed through the store. As I say to myself I am one of THOSE moms who has the loud obnixious kid. So I call Jarrett so he can share in our kids behavior- which makes me more mad bc he says " what am I gonna do about it?" GRRRR!
Are you seeing where I am going with this? People were staring, and staring and he was yelling and yelling! Where is that sweet boy who people complemented? Where was he???? So basically this went on a few more times. Check out was extra fun...I had to steer the cart with him under 1 arm to the car....yelling all the way. So when we got to the car, it was my turn to yell, and he went wee, wee, weeeeee (really loud) all the way home!!!!
I need a drink.

:-) I L-o-v-e that you called Jarrett in the middle! He could have at least offered up a "that sux!" I'll raise my glass with you - "Cheers!" on the "Shopping with a toddler sucks, why-oh-why are they always better for OTHER people!?" ;-)
