So I was taking a 'quick' little 'harmless' trip to Wal Mart with the kids on Saturday. Or so I thought it would be quick and harmless. This is my story, picture this: Jocelyn in the front of the cart, Christian in the back. (Which is unusual because he NEVER wants to be in the cart, but he was claiming he was tired.) Groceries carefully manipulated around him so as not to get smashed. I was rounding the corner between by the baby stuff own my way to get my last item and get out of there when all of a sudden Christian started throwing up EVERYWHERE! All over him, all over the groceries (that I had yet to buy) and all over Walmart's floor. Beautiful! Was this honestly happening to me? I just stood there stunned not knowing what to do as I see other Mom's walking by with pure sympathy on there faces mixed with gratitude that it was NOT happening to them. I quickly pulled myself together, comforted Christian, looked for a Walmart worker to let them know they might want to clean up their floor. And then spent the next 20 minutes or so crammed in the WalMart bathroom washing the throw-up off of my child and groceries. While people were coming in and out with looks of confusion turning to disgust. So that is my story, I can't believe that actually happened to me. It should be something you only see on a movie. But, hey I made it through it, I survived! I guess I am stronger then I thought. Oh, and in case you were wondering if I bought the groceries, yah, I did. But don't worry after rinsing them off I went through the self check out so I could spare the poor minimum wage WalMart employee from having to touch my vomit smelling food.
So if that did not happen to you today consider it a GREAT DAY.
