Monday is grocery shopping day. I think I mentioned that last week. Well, today I could have really used that grouchy mean old man. My kids have this WHOLE week OFF. Their school is weird. I think I mentioned that before, too. Anyway... took the whole crew on the shopping excursion. I don't have very cooperative children... when they are all together. Individually, they are fun and helpful. All together, they are off the charts.
How many times do I need to say, "This is NOT appropriate grocery store behavior!"
After about the umpteenth time, I referenced the mean old man (they all heard the story). Oddly, mentioning him seemed to get them in line. So they'll toe it for a stranger....
The thought of a WHOLE week OFF was really bumming me out. And there is rain in the forecast. I don't think I can handle anymore water balloons in the bathroom. So I decided we are going to Disneyland.
Yes, I decided this afternoon. Tomorrow at 6:30 a.m. we are getting in the car and driving ALL day to Disneyland. For one overnight... so 2 days of Mickey and the Happiest Place on Earth. Then driving back. It is a looooooooong car trip.
Wish me luck.
I am hoping this act of insane spontaneity doesn't result in spontaneous insanity!
I'll do the same thing for Halloween in France ! don't worry !! you're a very good mom !!!
