Anybody miss me? Storms rolling in and the winds just got here, so I may be gone again.
Funny story though. I took the kids to their last night of swim and I REALLY wanted a soda after. So I dug around in the bottom of my purse and in the change tray in the car for quarters and stopped at Big Daddy's liquor store figuring they'd have soda for mixers. So I went in and grabbed a 2 liter of Cocacola and they put it in the plain brown bag. There was a lady waiting in the parking lot for her husband who had gone in. So she sees me get in and hand the bag to Thing 1 in the front passenger seat..........who looked like the bag was contaminated. Now he knew what I was there to buy, but the kid is a strict teetotaler and totally against alcohol for anyone in any form. I said, "Take it you silly, I told you I was buying Coke", and plopped it on his lap. Then I had forgotten that there was a huge sidewalk island there between me and the next parking space, so when I went to pull out I went up on the curb.
So I begin to imagine what the lady who is watching this scene is imagining. There I am, coming out of the liquor store, handing a package to my shirtless child (right from swimming remember), who doesn't want to take it, so I drop it on his lap, and then proceed to run over the curb as if I'm already drunk. So I told Thing 1 what the lady was probably thinking, and he got the giggles, so as I pulled back in to get off the curb, he TURNS AND WAVES at the woman.
I really think I'll get a friendly visit from the police tonight.
