having spent all of the day inside.. when truly woke from her nap.. I HAD to get out of the house..so we head to go out.. IT IS BITTER COLD, bitter wind that is.. .. so I put on the rain cover on.. to at least block the wind from ozzy and trues face.. jonah and tad up bundled.. we trek it to the train station.. I SWEAR I must have fed you boys some serious sugar as you both were CRAZY!!!! I mean you both were in your own little world of WWF not noticing that you literally almost wiped out a few girls with some high heels on .. I told you both over and over PLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSE stop.. then walking THINKING that you are quickly following to turn around to see still some SERIOUSLY WWF.. I stop to remind you both again to PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAASSSSE stop.. please!!!!!
we get to mcdonalds.. I order to be reminded!!!! this is a cash ONLY country which I am out of cause the 7-11 closed by our house.
so I head into the mall.. I think lets get you something in there.. again WWF all the way in there and down to the bottom floor to be reminded that in japan valentines day is BIGGER than Christmas here.. which really MAKES no sense to me why they go all out for this.. for heavens sake.. start saying in more!!!!! dont wait for this day to come to pass out some chocolates!!!! culture difference!!!!
so the mall is packed which TOTALLY makes your boys WWF very hard to let slide!!!
I was in the grocery part buying some cinnamon sticks and black beans.. (which this is the only place i have found that carries more wide range of items then the store by our house)
trying to keep you all from bumping into the other shoppers is becoming hard.. I keep digging deep as YOU are just 6, 5, 2 and PERFECTNESS ozzy.. you are just sitting on my hip drooling being your PERFECT self!!!!!
but still having to carry you while pleading
please dont sit on the floor
please dont hit each other just bumped into that lady
please stop no wii for the REST of your life
please stand right by me this will be quick
all of this being said while waiting in line.. as I grabbed the items super fast.. b lined it to the check out area..
but in an already small waiting line PLUS the CRAZY rush of valentines day.. I am getting this look from this lady in front of me checking out.. that is starting to REAAAAALLLLLY grade on me for these reasons
first off we dont look like rug rats.. I prim and polish my kids everyday no matter staying in or not.. I LOOK LIKE I CARE
second.. I cant just call up a babysitter YOUR country doesnt work like that.. I must bring my wonders.. my PERFECT normal wonders with me everywhere!!!
I am TRYING super hard.. I am not zoned out.. ignoring their busy bodies having YES had too much sugar.. but been inside ALL day selves!!
I WAS SO close to saying "what the hell you looking at" in perfect japanese.. yes I DO know some pretty strong BAD japanese..
thanks to the days of mariners( sasaki ) teacher!!
so CLOSE.. SO CLOSE.. really the ONLY thing that stopped me is YOU children would not let me take my thumb off you for one second!!!!! plus does it really ever pay to be rude.. I didnt care so much about that "stare lady" as much as it would have totally be strong to the NICE cashiers quickly trying to help me move along:)
so with me all checked out.. I go out to face even MORE of the mall traffic..
to quickly escape to the mothers room to feed ozzy.. more so check to make sure he is going to be all filled up for the rest of the battle and walk home..
I get into the room.. THANK heavens their was a little section for the turners.. to go in and LOCK the door.. there you played in the curtain.. MADE tons of noise.. which is not appropriate .. as even in these rooms.. nice SOFT nursery music is playing for the nursing mothers and their babies.. LUCKY for us. the only other mother in there was finishing up when we came barging in:)
there I THOUGHT what the HECK was I thinking leaving the apt????? stupid I know.. times like this, makes the apt so fun to go back home to.. appreciation.. rather then "fetch we have been inside ALLLLLLL DAY
plus I was proud of truly.. you totally know when to zero in as you knew to hold on tight to the stroller to stay right by mom through the CRAZY crowd.. you carried the bag of groceries to the stroller.. getting all sorts of stares!! thats right she is only two and is a HUGE help!!!
told the boys to be still.. but they weren't listening to anyone.. they were in their own WWF world!!!
no tears were shed
no one got hurt
no bad words were said
I only could start to laugh
then of course knowing "what could I possibly do here????
we leave to come back home.. barely missing the train.. fine only 8 minutes till the next one comes.. but that staying outside in the BITTER wind.. so I try to find a corner to block it some what.. again WWF and giggling STILL GOING ON!!!!!!
we get on our train its only one stop away.. as it starts to come up to our stop
tad in a LOUD voice says"mom this is our stop"
what the crap.. its BEEN 3 months.. you KNOW the rules.. be still on the train
instead of getting mad.. I just reply.. "hey tad why don't you yell it"
then yo proceed to do just that!!!!!! fetch tad SHHHHHHHHHHHH I was just kidding..
we all jump off and start to laugh as I tell you TAD. come on are you kidding?????
we make it HOME.. dang that WAS BITTER cold!!!! just BITTER..
