Paid for

Need a laugh? My daily chaos could definitely help you out with that. Sometimes, I don't even tell my husband about my brain farts forgetfulness...he says it is because I only have baby interaction all day. Maybe he thinks I'm slowly losing it. So yeah, I kept this one to myself.
Even though it conflicted with Madeline's nap, I attempted a Starbucks Story time, only to order an iced coffee and walk out. These kids looked like they should be in school and I would have felt ridiculous there with my (almost) 14 month old, trying to get into everything while they just sat there. Then I ran around like a crazy coupon lady...I don't have stock piles and all that shit, but I get a HUGE thrill out of savings. Oh and savings to me may not be what it is to you. I just match the coupons with the sales...nothing too complicated.haha.
Side note: Why in the hell does Madeline act like everyone that talks to her is going to STEAL her??? GAH! It is totally embarrassing. The second someone says hello, she points to me, gives them the business, then reaches for me. I think she is saying, "You can't steal me, this is my Mom, she is crazy and will karate chop you if you try. Pick me up, Mommy, together we will morph into a super ninja and fight this maniac off!". Needless to say, people run from my child in the store.
Anyway, back to my day, since Madeline didn't get her nap, I stopped by the house because Josh was home early, then went about my errands.((Oh and be jealous, having a 12 yr old and baby is the most awesome thing ever, he is an AMAZING babysitter.)) I had to stop to get gas, so I went to Wawa, paid for my Monster (new addiction now that I have finished nursing) and gas. Then I went onto the other store I had match coupons with....KILLED it...and was on my way home. Well, my gas light came on!! WHAT? I stopped and paid for gas before the store!!! Yeah, paid for, but never pumped!!!! I couldn't even believe it. Should I go back and say something or just go home?? Gas is ridiculous, so I decided to go back...pulling a manager aside and saying, "This is probably the dumbest thing you will hear all day, but.....". Well, amazingly enough, the man that pulled up after me, came in, told the truth and insisted on paying for his gas. WOW. There are still honest people in this world today. I love it! THIS is why I am always honest when something falls into my favor is a mistake. I always correct it. What a wonderfully, honest man that pulled up after me. God bless him.
Yep, there it was...and I have at least one of these EVERY day. SAHM mom thing? blonde thing? or just human nature? Who knows, but I felt like an idiot.
