I took a 5 month old and a 2 year old to a craft store.
And I let the 2 year old walk (as opposed to making her ride in the cart).
Then I had to wrangle her into the cart because she kept running off.
Then when I left I realized I'd forgotten to pay with my gift card that I had (all $13 of it).
So I went back in.
And waited in line for 5 minutes holding a kicking 2 year old who was trying to rip buttons off of my coat and do backflips out of my arms. I arrive at the front of the line only to be told by the clerk that I'd have to return everything I bought (not just a few items) and did I really think my two year old would stand for that?
I inform her I have been standing in line for FIVE MINUTES just for that express purpose.
She moves me to a different clerk and I wait patiently with my daughter rolling around on a dirty floor walked on by who knows how many thousands of people as the new clerk returns my items and re-rings them for me. People in line behind me scoff and move out of line.
I then make a bargain with my toddler to go to Chik-Fil-A in the middle of the last-minute Christmas shopping hustle and bustle in the surrounding shopping area.
We leave the craft store after about a 20 minute return ordeal and head on to the mayhem at Chik-Fil-A and then to the grocery store.
/sigh
I'm a glutton for punishment.

yeah, you're crazy! lol. i would have saved the gift card for the next time i went there. i would not have gone back in and had to wait in line and then deal with the returning and re-ringing up of items. forget it!
Totally something I would have done!
