Lack of Sleep Week!!

I am going to tattle tale on myself here, I think that the lack of sleep is catching up to me!! This week, I have been a little on edge and a few random people in stores have suffered the wrath! On Thursday I picked the kids up from school and we went out to run errands. We went to the grocery store as our last stop, just to get Chelsey a treat to take to school the next day. As we walked through the door, Kaylix woke up ready to eat. I didn't want to feed him because we were going to be fast and then head home. So he was crying, he takes a binky but doesn't love it. He was crying as we were walking through the store, and not just a little cry, he was screaming! This kind of older lady was walking a little bit ahead of me and turns around and just stares at me. I kind of smiled at her, then she stopped and waited for me to catch up to her, as I walked past her, she kind of under her breath says, "give the baby a binky or something". I had tried, but he didn't want it. So, I looked at her and in a very rude voice, said "he won't take it" and then just walked away. She went oh well I just thought, but I interrupted her and said I will take care of my own child, thank you. And kept walking. Wow, I am never mean to people I don't know!!! Then Friday, I took the kids in their Halloween costumes to get their pictures taken. I told the girl that I only wanted group pictures, but then of course she takes picture of all the kids individually. Then of course they are all cute and I have to buy them all! Then I had a coupon, she instead talked me into getting this package because it was cheaper than using my coupon, what ever. So I spend a whole lot of money, and I get up to the counter, I pay my money and she says, these pictures will be back on Oct 29. I went wait what. Sear can give you your pictures back same day, and that was what I was expecting. But she said that I had to pay an extra $3.99 a sheet if I wanted them back today. Well, I had already spent too much money, so I said ok I guess I get them back later. Then as I was going home, the more I thought about it, the madder I got. I had gone in because they advertised a Halloween special, and then they don't get the pictures to me until 2 days before Halloween. So I called them and told them I was unhappy and I wanted to come back in and change my order because I had just ordered all these pictures that now really are no good. They told me there was nothing they could do, that the order had been placed and now I had to take it. So, I tried to call customer service because I was so upset, and they had closed for the day. And they are only open M-F. So, this morning when I called, I really was to late because the order had been processed. So frustrating. But, now I know, right!! So, that is my ornery week. I will try and be nicer!

  1. I CANNOT believe she said that to you! Sometimes when I am in the store and one of my kids has less than desirable behavior and people give you "that look" I want to say "Do you really think I am enjoying this?" Man, give us Moms a break sometimes! I just can't believe she said that! Hope this week is better!
