For anyone who was in Toys R Us today...
...yes, that was my child that was screaming and kicking and hitting his mother, as he was being carried out of the store. That was my child that screamed "No! No! Don't take me away from Lightening McQueen! He's my friend!! No, no no!" as though he were in intense pain. That was me who slammed the car door in anger and had to cool down when my child refused to stay in the car seat. That was me who, having cooled down, had to force my child's arms into the carseat. And that was my precious baby who watched the whole thing quietly and smiled at me as I went to strap her in. Thank you Annie, for brightening my day. Thank you, Charlie, for reminding me that I've still got a long way to go on this mothering thing. Thank you, blogosphere, for allowing me to vent.

All in a days work, friend! And my children are perfect so I wouldn't know anything about dragging kicking and screaming children from a store....hmmmm!
At least Charlie hasn't started telling you things like, "well, you know you aren't the real boss...God is!" What does one say to that?!
Sounds like a bad couple of days, you need a marguerita! I, too, know nothing about that kind of situation, HAHAHA. Wanna laugh, cry, and scream all at the same time!
There are few things worse than wrestling your babe into their car seat. I'm so sorry! I've been there and it STINKS!
I hope you've all recovered. It's a new day.
LOL! I needed a good laugh today. Thank you! Aren't two year olds fun?! :)
