I had to get out of my house today -- so much to DBD's dismay I loaded up the kids at 6 PM and headed out into the pouring down bitches rain… just to go to the grocery store.
Said grocery store has a kids drop off area. Now we're talkin huh?
Nuff said.
While driving there I looked back into the rear of my vehicle only to note that Olivia Newton John was joining me for our outing. It's always nice to have Olivia joining our outings.
Yep Yep had one of Booger Bears infant headbands wrapped around her head. Total Let's Get Physical Look. I almost yelled back for her autograph.
How she got out of the house without me seeing that.
Well.
You know.
I have three kids… and I suck.
So after dropping off two of the three at the super awesome grocery store that I would like to camp in we did some browse shopping-- simply for my sanity.
While we were in the cereal aisle towards the end of our trip there was a woman there on a cell phone. Clearly contemplating Cocoa Puffs VS. Cheerios ( blek!) while discussing some dramatic situation on her phone… at the same time.
I wanted to stop her and say---- Maa'm. Cereal choosing calls for the utmost of attention. Please… refrain from bringing your drama to the cereal aisle.
But I didn't. I just giggled and watched Booger Bear knock over 30 boxes of Cheerios. Clearly Booger Bear has tasted Cocoa Puffs and knows the what the what about Cheerios.
I was totally listening to her converstation too. Because I'm totally like that. I also stare.
You'll love me.
As I was listening to her angst about another friend who had cancelled plans that an entire group had made… only because she had found out this other particular friend had.. BLAH FUCKITY BLAH.
So anyways.
My point is … I wanted to thank her. Because she made me feel normal. I clutched my Cocoa Puffs, grabbed Boogies hand , stepped over the 30 boxes of CheeriBleks and thought to my self.
Everyone has drama huh? Even in the cereal aisle.
Life is good.
Life sucks sometimes.
But it's life and I'm glad to be in it.
Are you?

That is the only grocery store I will go to because of said room. And because of said room (and the need for sanity), leisurely shopping is a must!
My oldest will be banned from that room in less than a year. Ba-bye sanity!
Wait. What? You lost me at child care... A grocery store with a child care!?!?! Who was the world's smartest person that came up with that! Look out Stephan Hawking! This dude's got your #!!!
Seriously?? My church doesn't have a nursery and your grocery store has child care?? WTF?
Actually, I would just be happy with someone that would escort my son to the restroom the MULTIPLE times he has to go in ONE shopping trip.
So glad you found your sanity in someone else's drama... feels good :)
FIrst... I've been on google reader & hadnt seen the new look. I dig it.
Second... dude... seriously? What do you have against Cheerios? nah, I'm just messing. My kids don't really like them either... and by that I do mean they will toss a bowl of Cheerios across the dining room. Yup.
I listen to other people too. Is that bad? Whatever. I care not. Also, I still love ya ; )
Childcare. In a grocery store. I want one of those.
I used to have a nice drop off childcare place. Then we moved. And I miss that place. So much I've asked my husband to please take me on a date in the old city just so we can drop off the kids. Please!
drama is everywhere. It seems to follow me around.
The stores we shop at (Meijer) used to have these awesome domed children's play areas. This was years and years ago. They were carpeted, with climb on stuff inside. Well, a few of the areas got lice and that was the end of the play areas.
a grocery store with child care is freakin genious!
I need no child care in the grocery store because I escape there. Yes...that's right, when I want some peace and freaking quiet from all the kids and dogs and BDC, I run away to the grocery store. BY. MY. DAMN. SELF!
Everyone does have their own drama.
I am so incredibly said that I can no longer shop at that grocery store. My fav ever. I was always tempted to drop off the kiddos and then go get a Starbucks and chill in the little cafe area. Ahhhh....
I need this post tonight. Thank you.
we live off cheerios ... but that's not the point. I like this post. Great reminders come in the strangest ways.
