O.k., so this funny thing happened today, and I was actually debating whether or not to put it on my blog. But, it so typical of my life, that I just couldn't resist. There will be no pictures for this story, and you all will understand as you read on....
One of the most difficult things I have found as a mother is taking all four children to the grocery store! Especially if you need just ONE thing! So all week long, I have been procrastinating that ONE thing. However, Steve has been working nights, and there just isn't any time to go by myself. Therefore, I made the decision to just get the job done. All I needed to get was a card for my cousins baby shower on Saturday. Just to give some background......Since it has been so hot lately, I took the kid to the Beale squirt water park downtown to cool off. As we were leaving, Averi had a drink in the backseat, and proceeded to dump it all over her car seat. She hates being wet while wearing any clothing, and will change as soon a a drop of water gets on her. Anyways, I forgot about this car seat incident earlier, and just proceeded to get all four kids in the car to go to Walgreens. Once we got there, Averi was complaining that her pants were wet. I told her, " no big deal, we just need to get ONE thing." So with Wyatt in his carrier and the other three kids walking behind me, I reminded them again to just follow me, we need only ONE thing, and then we will be done. Oh yeah, don't touch anything! So, feeling like Super Mom, I went to the card section and immediately got the first card I found. I was going to be out of that store in 5 minutes tops. Ethan then taps me on the shoulder, and says, "Uh, Mom....we have a problem." So, I'm thinking we will deal with whom ever is fighting, or what ever problem we have when we get home. However, when I turn around, I see the real problem that needed to be dealt with right then! Averi, had taken off her pants and underwear, and was walking down the isle, away from me, NAKED! I couldn't believe it. I, not feeling like Super Mom anymore, frantically searched for her pants, which she conveniently had discarded on the other isle! Honestly, how long was she walking around like that, and how ridiculously preoccupied with that ONE thing to get was I that I didn't notice?
Anyways, I think the moral of this story is....Maybe that ONE thing isn't worth getting arrested for indecent exposure of your child!
