Most moms would know better, but the other day I took my cranky girls to Walmart after a doctor's appointment to pick up a few things. When I say a few things, I really mean it. I think I had 4 things on my list. What is it about being in a store (especially Walmart) that escalates behaviors to the max? Sassy was pushing the stroller with her feet and running into people. When she wasn't doing that she was pushing on the breaks anytime I stopped. Add to that a whiny Sissy and a wailing little Missy and I was about ready to lose it!
So I did what was absolutely necessary in that moment. I bought a chocolate bar. Just for me. When we got home I put a movie on for the girls and I sat behind them on the couch and fed missy while savoring square after square of my chocolate bar. I made sure they didn't see me so I wouldn't have to share. I'm greedy like that once in a blue moon. And you know what? It made my frazzled nerves smooth out and suddenly everything was alright in the world. Ahhhh... Chocolate. Sometimes it's the little things...
