A Mommy Tale

I went to Hobby Lobby today.

As I drove, I called out Slugbugs & Cruisers as I spotted them on the street.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I automatically pushed the button to open up both of my van side doors.

I reached over and grabbed my diaper/kid bag because I absolutely have to wipe down shopping carts!

When I got out of the car, I automatically reached out my hand to "hold hands in the parking lot".

I rocked back and forth as I stood in the checkout line.

When I walked back to my car, I automatically used my key fob to open up both of my van side doors.

As I drove home, I again called out Slugbugs & Cruisers as I spotted them on the street.

And guess what?

My kids were not with me!

It's funny to me all the things I do automatically... even when my kids are not with me!

One of my favorites is swaying back in forth in church when you hear someone else's child starting to cry :)
