My Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Tucker woke up with tons of energy this morning. He was bouncing off the walls by 10 AM, but we needed to let Macy nap before heading out the door. As soon as Macy woke up, off we went to Target to get a few things. I had some larger items to get, so I put the kids in the double cart thingy instead of putting them in our double stroller like I normally do. HUGE mistake. Tucker kept unbuckling himself and trying to get out of the cart. "I don't like being strapped in!" "Let me out! I'll stay close to you, I promise!" Meanwhile, Macy sees her bubba causing trouble so she joins in too. Her fits normally involve throwing herself on the floor, but since she was strapped in, she just kept throwing her head back against the back of the plastic seat. This resulted in making her cry even more, but yet she kept doing it over and over and over. At this point, we made a bee line to the check-out. Tucker continued acting up, and even talked back to me, which resulted in a spanking in the parking lot (but that comes later). I was so eager to get the hell out of Target, that I nearly left the store without the items I had just bought. An associate came running after me with my stuff. Might I mention, that Tucker is crying at this point, begging me not to give him a spank, "Please, no, Mommy. Pleeeeease, no spank. I'm sorry!" We get to the car and he receives his spank (not without pleading, "Mommy, please do it real careful"), the kids get loaded in the car, both screaming their heads off. As I was backing out of the parking space, BAM, I hit a car. The poor lady says she honked, but of course I couldn't hear a darn thing over all the crying going on. Thank God that both kids fell asleep on the way home and are still napping.

Wine, please.
