I thought we'd do a little shopping this morning.

Store 1:

Shopping for a bra with a two year old is like shopping for a bra with a two year old.

I was up against 400 choices, lack of sizes, the lying sales girl and a poorly placed shelf of pretty, shiny beauty products at toddler eye level.  The "children's play area" was no match for my girl.  She escaped, lost both shoes and flung open the curtain of the dressing room I was in, mid-bra-try-on.  (BTW, where the hell am I supposed to put my nursing pads in such an instance)? I found what I went in for -kinda- and we were on our way.  I'm pretty sure the store won, or lost.  I'm not sure.

Store 2:

The toy store we went to was a special treat for the girl one because she has been such a dream all morning.  Not really but who wants to sit at home and entertain their kid for hours? Not this gal.

It is one of those fancy toy stores where they leave a few of their toys out for the kids to play with and test, I.E. take said toy(s) to the opposite end of the store, drop them off and then run away to find the next toy to abandon.  In my younger, carefree years I would have left the toys where they lie.  But now that I'm weighted down with the burden of a two year old and 3 month old I feel an immense responsibility to put the frigging toys back where they belong all while trying to get my toddler to do it while she learns a life lesson.

No, we didn't buy anything. Please.

Store 3:

...was actually a well-known doughnut shop in this area.  I saw the sign for it briefly as we drove to the toy store and promised my girl that we would stop for a doughnut after.

Wouldn't you know? It was located in the middle of a college book store! So fun!  Like going to a library that you have to pay for!  People quietly reading or having hushed conversations with other adults over doughnuts!  I could almost feel them glaring at me and my little people.

Whatever.  I had to get the doughnut because, well, I despise whining.  She got her pink sprinkles and I got my fritter and we sat down at a table for a whole 8 minutes.  It was fun just like I knew it would be!

The end.
