Another One Bites The Dust

As I was driving home from the grocery store today I had to laugh and thank God for His goodness to me.
You know that free cookie that the kids get from the bakery at the store? Well they always offer me one and I never take it. From now on I'm taking it, you know why? Well you see when we get to the store Elijah always says "can we get a cookie?" and I always say sure and then I ask if they do the free cookie thing because one time they told the kids no and there were tears and it was horribly sad. Anyway so each of the kids got a cookie, BTW- the lady opens the whole cookie container in front of Shad and offers him 1 well he has 2 hands to grab with and 2 cookies get touched. She then offers me one and I of course laugh and tell her "no thanks", okay now the kids are happy and so we are off to get the food! Well Elijah is done with his cookie by the middle of the first aisle. I only go down the aisles I know we need stuff on, but if the kids talk to me then I forget something and have to go back down an aisle I have already been down. You know it's hard reading my list and watching 3 kids. I am going as fast as I can so that we can get out of there before things get out of control, because they are bound to with Shad. So I am picking out my produce this is the last food that gets placed in the cart so we are almost done, Hannah is playing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" with Shad because if we keep him happy everyone is happy. Okay we have made it to the check out and I have to be sure the girls takes my $10 off $50 or more coupon and my 25cents coupon off the ziploc bags. The bagger asks if I "need help out " I respond "I would appreciate help out" because I wasn't feeling the "NEED" just would have liked the help. We get in the van and are heading home and the song "Another one bites the dust" comes on the radio, I turn it up. The kids are happy and I am not dead it's all good right? Well I was thinking maybe I should have taken that cookie and shoved it my purse for when Shad was ready to blow. Yeah I'm definitly gonna do it next time. You know it was a good trip to the store, Elijah only fell down once from running, Hannah only pushed Elijah once cuz he wasn't moving fast enough, No one got sassy and no one asked for anything. Yeah it was definitly good that the song that was on was not true to my life at the moment! I also thought WOW nobody is going to send me a thank you card or pat me on the back and tell me I did good today or praise me "Oh Mommy thanks for shlepping us to the store so you could slave over all this food that you will serve us!" But I don't need their thanks or praise because I served my God when I went to the store today and He held me up and just knowing that, is Thanks enough! But I want to thank my Mom for taking me to the store with her and getting the cookie for me and letting me sit under the cart, Oh those days were fun for me and Mom I know they weren't always for you, so THANK YOU!!!!
