Gorcery Store Fight

So Baby Girl and I went grocery shopping Monday night, as we have been doing for the past two weeks.  We usually try to go Sunday nights as a family but we just haven't had the time lately.  She is always very good for me because it's usually later in the evening and she is winding down so I don't mind the alone time with her.

I found a line that only had one person in it and he was almost done so I felt pretty lucky considering our grocery store lines can get pretty long.  I started putting my things on the belt and a lady got in line behind me.  Now I'm at the back of the cart try to maneuver my big belly around so I can reach the things in my cart.  Baby Girl was sitting in the front part of the cart, as usual.

I had about half of my items on the belt when the lady behind me grabs a divider and starts putting her things on the belt.  So, not only did she not give me enough room to put all my things on the belt, she also pushed her way up into the aisle so I couldn't move back and get my things out of the cart.

So I just stood there and stared at her.  The entire time she put her shit on that belt, I just stared.  The guy behind her saw it and I'm pretty sure he was scared enough for both of them.  I mean what the hell? 

Finally I just started pushing my stuff front to make as much room as I could and I literally started throwing my stuff onto the belt.  I really couldn't get it up there any other way because she was half way up the aisle.  I kept one of the heavy items and very loudly told the cashier that it didn't fit on the belt.

Meanwhile, my awesome little daughter decided to be friendly and said hi to the bitch behind us.  She responded, of course, and then started talking to her!!!  All while watching me struggle with my fucking groceries!  She even tried to make small talk with me as I was throwing a bag of egg noodles onto the belt. 

Oh I ignored that bitch.

I know that this isn't like an it's the end of the world kind of story but I was so pissed.  I went home and told my husband about it and he laughed hysterically and then told me how proud he was that I kept my composure and didn't hit the bitch.

I mean how rude can you really be?  It wasn't an old lady or anything either.  That I would have been able to understand.  There was no reason she couldn't at least wait until I was done.  Forget the fact that I'm pregnant, it's just rude all around! 

How would you have handled the crazy belt lady?

PS:  I know that this post has a lot of bad words, a lot worse than I normally use, and I do apologize but this is the PG version of how I explained it to my husband.  I was so mad!

    Oh my goodness. We are a lot alike, but I would have said something. there is not enough composure in this world for me not to say something. I can completely understand why you were so mad. What nerve!

    OMG! It amazes me how people have no consideration for pregnant women. It makes me want to hit so many people in the face!

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...
