And now for a little humor courtesy of Justin....

Well I am still not feeling 100% but I am sure 90% better than I was yesterday. I have determined that I had some type of intestinal virus.....anyway getting to the humor.....Today we went to Walmart so the boys could buy their daddy a gift. Oh how I do not love shopping at Walmart (or anywhere for that matter) three days before Christmas...fa, la, la, la, la...Remind me to cancel getting the sick the week before Christmas next year. I really don't recommend it as part of your holiday planning.

Of course we get there and I notice the tons of carts in the parking lot and of course I pass each and every one by because surely they must have carts inside (that are warm and not freezing cold from sitting in said parking lot.) Well of course there was only one lone cart. Yes one and of course it was one of those big carts with the seats on the back. You know the ones that look sort of like a semi and are so annoying to just about everyone in the store. Yeah that one. Well it was either use that (which by the way I have no problem using, much to other shopper's annoyance. Yeah I am that mom)

Where was I? Oh yes the humor. So we are finally done shopping and checking out. Kaden is inside the actual basket of the cart and Justin is sitting on one of the seats on the back. Justin of course who always knows all safety regulations, rules and precautions, reads the warning tag on the cart. I am barely paying attention as Kaden and I are loading up the conveyor belt with our items. All of a sudden Justin says, mom I am so close to breaking the law. Huh? Mom I am really close to breaking the law!! I'm looking at him and hoping he is not trying to shoplift something. He is wearing his heavy winter jacket it is sort of bulky....should I frisk him just to be sure? I don't want alarms going off on the way out. So I finally ask him what he is talking about. He says mom, I am so close to breaking the law the warning says only ages 2-6 can sit on this seat. I am EIGHT!! Really? Oh I'm relieved! Of course he is totally serious! He was seriously worried that Walmart security was going to arrest him. I was falling over laughing! I really have needed a laugh this past week.

I think this is an ongoing cart problem. Last summer we were in Target and he and Kaden were sitting on the same type of cart. We had been crusing the Dollar Spot....don't you just love the Dollar Spot.....Oh sorry I get off track easily....I happened to see something that I wanted a closer look at and left the boys about 3 feet away and told them to stay seated. All of a sudden Justin says mom the warning sign says do not leave your child unattended in the cart. As I said he was serious! The man walking past had a very good laugh!

For the record I am so behind with Christmas shopping and baking and crafting and it's not going to get any better the next two days so you know what? I am doing what I can and going to enjoy myself regardless! I refuse to stress out about it. I just can't!

I hope this brightened your day just a bit!
