deaf and dumb

after getting up at 5:40am this morning the little monster has been nothing less than a whiney screaming crying tantrum throwing mess. and didnt i say i was shooting myself in the foot?

so of course i went to walmart.

cause really isnt every kid in walmart like that?

the entire oh 20 mintues i could last without putting liam in the pile of pomegranates and running screaming hysterically from the store. i realized that i can tune him out completely. that i can be that parent who just doesnt seem to hear the insessant 'i want a toy", "i want a bread", " mommy noooooooo" and the whimpering and crying. so i became just like every other mother of a toddler today carrying on with my shopping as though my child wasnt a monsterous banshee screaming at the top of his lungs while everyone WITHOUT a child in the store looked at me like i was obviously the WORST mother in the world and shouldnt i be doing SOMETHING, ANYTHING about the ear-popping toodler right in front of me. the best is the looks of i got were from the other moms though...as though we were part of a secret society that doesnt have a password or handshake just a slight nod of the head and an understanding that connects us all in our unique ability to not give a flying CRAP what people without kids think AT ALL!!!
