So yesterday I took the kids to the Hoover Library, we were downstairs and I ran into a few of my friends so of course being the social butterfly that I am I started visiting with them and ignoring my kids who were getting stir crazy. Well we decide to go upstairs and we're riding on the elevator but Noah runs away up the stairs.... so still ignoring him I ride the elevator with my friends thinking I'll catch him at the top..... but when we get there he's not there. So I don't wanna look like a bad mom so I say "oh he just ran over to the kids area to play" and keep talking. I know what your thinking... what a bad mom... well your right!! Anyway I send Abbey to look for him and she finds him so they go over to play with the toys. So my friend asks me can I help her find a book.... I say sure... never mind my two children I'm ignoring right now. So I'm looking for this book and I hear a child screaming at the top of his lungs. Of course I think who's loud kid is that... but the more I hear it the more familiar it sounds.... it's Noah... so I run over to him and he had cut his finger on a door, the librarian is trying to help him but he is screaming in her face NOOOOOO NOOOOOO MOMMYYYYY!!! There is a huge crowd around him and as I walk up I feel like all eyes are on me and every one is wondering where was I when all this happened. So I take him to the bathroom and calm him down and we make a quick get away.
So here's a lesson: don't ignore your kids when you can tell they are restless.....
I guess it wouldn't be a Newman family outing without at lest one breakdown, and outburst or two, and some injury
Here's to the Summer! I better stock up on my band aids.... or maybe I'll start wearing sunglasses every where I go and pretending like I don't know who my children are when they're acting up......
