You know Its Been a Long Few Days When...

Half way into Wal Mart tonight, Avery looked at my feet and said "Are those your slippers you're wearing?"

"ummmm, yes they are." As I looked at my feet, I suddenly realized not only had I forgotten shoes, I had also forgotten to put on a bra, brush my teeth, and comb my hair. The window of opportunity to get out of the house without all the kids is so slim that I guess I jumped at the opportunity tonight a little too quickly!

For two seconds I thought about going home, but the thought of having to come back to Wal Mart with all 3 kids next week was enough to motivate me to just go in the store regardless of my appearance. I walked through those automatic doors praying I wouldn't see anyone I knew!

So yes, from now on I will never judge another disheveled looking woman who looks like she is wearing her PJs while shopping at Wal Mart. Maybe she had been stuck in the house for 2 days with sick kids and was just anxious to be out too.

Oh Kari that's just funny and not all at the same time. Sorry you guys have had a tough week. Hope everyone is on the mend.

HUGs for you KAri. I know how you feel. My kid haven't been 100% either and I feel like I deserve a 2 day 1 night vacation all by myself. LOL! It is a good thing this is only for a season in our lives.
