Today I was that parent

Today I let my kids run wild at Wal-Mart. I was tired and too exhausted to tell them to stop and stay by me. Which is what I normally do.

I am not sure if it's the long days of summer or my pregnancy hormones. Or both. But I am was tired of telling them to stop. Tired of wasting my breath.
I dared, almost begged, for anyone in that store to say something to me. Oh the poor soul that would have. Thank God no one did because it would have been like the devil himself was yelling at them. And I would have never forgiven myself either.

So today I was that mom. And I don't feel one bit bad about it.
