Where's a Drink when you need one?
Today I had to go to the Hallmark store to pick up the last card that I totally blanked out on! Reading through the crappy cards that were left on the shelves my son went around the corner. I didn't think much of it until I heard a big "Thump". My Son as excited and crazy as he was today ended up bringing down a display rack of 100's of cards all over the floor! What do you do? This day in age, if you raise your voice to a child, people start thinking you are abusive! But C'mon he's destoyed the whole Mother/Father Birthday Card section of a Hallmark store! I started to go "What the..." and stopped myself, picked up the cards, since no one even would think of helping a mom that was the a shade of Blood Red and on the brink of going crazy , and got out of there.
I know that he's was a little out of control today because of all the excitement of Christmas, and I've now learned another very important rule in Parenting!
Do Not, under any circumstance, go shopping on Christmas Eve with a 5 Year Old.... At least not without having a few drinks and a Valium!
