today at the grocery store…

My oldest daughter has pink eye, so was home from school today.  That is 3 days of me not being able to get my stuff done while they were at school.  So, I had to to go to the grocery store with her in tow (but not touching ANYTHING).  I wanted to hurry to grab the things that we needed, so I cut down a random isle.  Wouldn’t you know it, that random isle was the pet food isle (we didn’t buy dog food at the grocery store, so it wasn’t one of the isles I was particularly familiar with).  I hoped she wouldn’t notice and tried to just hurry down the isle.  Halfway down she looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, “Mommy, can we not come down this way anymore?  It makes me really sad.”  🙁

Later today I was upstairs.  I kept swearing that I heard Spencer’s collar jingling.  I thought I must be going crazy.  Yeah, my daughter was wearing his collar around her waist.
