Avocados and Oranges!!

Hello, hope everyone is having a fabulous week! Mine has been very busy with work and sick kiddos!

So yesterday I was in a mad rush to pick up my sister-in-law (who is like a daughter to me) from school. The plan was to pick her up and head straight home with no stops in between. Jillyana wanted to come for the ride and needed a little fresh air so off we go. Jillyana is bear foot and i have to quickly make the decision on whether or not to put shoes on her. well shoes total an additional 5-6 minutes per child in our household. 2 to put on socks and shoes, and then when arriving back home another 4 minutes to find socks and shoes and put them back on (she always takes them off and tosses them who knows where)!!! Well 5-6 minutes can make or break ya when your a mom on the go and late for carpool! So, i decided NO on the shoes:).

On our way home the hubby calls that our sick nica would really like chalupas for dinner if i wouldn't mind stopping at Kroger's for some avocados and cheese. Avocados and cheese don't require the big basket. I toss baby girl on the hip since she has no shoes and here we go to find avocados. I'm reaching at the very top feeling all the green avocados trying to find at least 1 good one (Kroger's sucks) when i here a lady giggle and say "uh ma am, your daughter." she is sitting on my hip tossing oranges onto the floor...............like twenty some oranges!!! you try picking up that many oranges with little piggy riding saddle!!! LOL as we make our way to check out she proceeds to throw fits for every thing she wants. ya know the kind of fit where she straightens her body, making it very hard to carry her, 2 avocados, 1 block of cheese, and the gummy snacks i gave into (should have gotten the basket, i know)! we finally get to Rosie our cashier and Jilly puts on her sweetest smile as Rosie says," wow, isn't she just an angel." Talk about biting my tongue!

Any how, Nica and I went to get pedicures this weekend. (her big reward for going 2 months without getting her color moved!) she wants to wear makeup already and of course i told her no. her response: (tons of attitude and her best valley girl accent) "ughhh MOOOOOM, I'm like already gonna be 7!!!!!!!!"

Smiles,

Janie
