Yep , I knew it !! That IS my famous 3 words. I KNEW IT .I can read my kids backward forward , side ways ...
So it starts of , the wonderful grocery trip again . Now dh and I both told the kids to make sure they go potty before we leave .In the mean time while we are trying to get them to go potty .The phone rings and dh mom calls for us to come over to see her house. (shes moving right down the street from me) they swear they don't need to go (I KNEW IT WAS COMING) and we load up the 2 little ones .My 5 yo has to do a few twirls before we get to the car , my 3 yo has to mimic what she does ,then we get in seat belt them in and that's always I fun job because we have one who doesn't like the seat belts and another who begs to do it herself and if you don't let her you get to hear blood hurling screams the entire neighbor hood can hear. Yeah people look out their windows and probably wonder if we are beating our child. I swear we don't lay a hand on her she just likes to use those lungs.We with 2 kids fighting in the back head to his moms and all get out and talk to his mother about the cute little house they are renting , its small but nice for her and her husband. My little one then decides after only being there 3 min she has to potty ..Yeppers, I knew they would do it ..now they don't even have water yet so we cant flush. Mil just tells her to go on, shes a nice women never complained shes used to it she raised 7 kids. We yack a while even see a skunk , fortunate we were in the van by the time it came scurrying across the yard because my kids would have loved to take that home and kept it as a pet. I visualized as it ran across the yard ,my kids chasing it and trying to pick it up by the tail and place it in a box , then proceed to beg me to let them keep it and they will feed it and give it water and love it forever ! (They would love it for a week , even if it sprayed them they really would love it ) We finally get out of there and go to the grocery store and what do you know ?See I told a little white lie on the way there that the bathrooms are closed so don't even ask ! I just get done shopping with a store full of people and its finally my day ! A new register opened and I'm hurrying as fast as I can trying to be the first in line ..then they spot that big red door with that stick figure with a dress drew on it and immediately , hands fly , kids legs cross and we get the I HAVE TO PEE PEE so the whole store can hear and that little jig they seem to always do . MOMMY NOW GOT TO GO NOW. Ohhhh... theres a water fountain to setting there by the bathroom door and I hear the girls whisper something to each other and yep (I KNEW IT) one needs to go in first while the other gets a drink ! So my little one proceeds to slurp up all the water she can , looks up and smiles with water dripping from her chin knowing that little grin will get a roll eye from mom and a head shake ..shes pleased with her accomplishment now its time for POTTY ! Yeah you can guess what happens next , I miss being first in line at the register and I get to stand in line with 10 people ahead of me , and where I was standing was of course theres CANDY! Oh yeah candy , soda oh every kids dream. Eyes bulging , lips smacking I knew it was coming MOM CAN WE HAVE CANDY ! NO NO BUT NO !I'm looking around , I see hands ..They are trying to sneak it in the cart , they were caught .They grinned and took off behind me. You know mom cant get you if she cant see you? Oh so the oldest decided she wanted Yogurt. Mom cant read you know.. A 4 pack of vanilla pudding in front of me and they both ask if they can have yogurt cause its good for you with a big grin ..Yeah why not and I just thought to myself Yep I knew it !
