Back to Reality

So it's Thursday and it's really taken me this long to get back into the groove of things. I had a major spacey moment on the drive back Sunday, but I'm not ready to relive that on the blog because truth be told, it was pretty embarrassing. Don't worry, I will blog about it eventually, but I'm trying to pretend that I'm not really that stupid.

Anyways, today it officially hit home that I need to stop living in 'single' world and get back to focusing on the present. Case in point....we went to get Joshua's haircut today because he needed it and I thought he should look nice for Easter weekend. We go to the haircut place and the lady that we usually like isn't there. I'm a little hesitant, but I go ahead and get it cut with whoever is available. Well...he freaks out in the beginning and then calms down because I am feeding him a cookie (darn the sign that says "NO FOOD OR DRINK"). He's watching TV, but keeps jerking his head back for more food....anyways, long story short, we come out with a haircut that I am not fond of because it looks just a little jagged in places and I had to tell her how to fix others. That irritates me to no end that I have to tell someone how to cut my son's hair...are you not a certified cosmetologist??

Second thing is we then run to the grocery store and I let Joshua get in one of the carts with the car in the front. We're having a merry ol' time making driving noises and honking the horn and as we are heading toward checkout I notice him trying to pick something up from the bottom of the cart. Gross....it was GUM!! And then he tried to pick something else up and it was CHOCOLATE...so he had it on his hands and legs.....i am already in the checkout line, so i attempt to put him in the seat, which he refuses to do so, so I plop him in the cart and in his effort to get out, he slams his head on the cart. The cashier is waiting for me to finish unloading...so i let him keep crying until I can finish paying. I walk out with groceries in a car cart with a child on my hip screaming. Sigh.....I am definitely not in Lost Pines anymore....:(
