Ever see a woman in fuzzy bunny ears lose it in the middle of the supermarket?

So I decided we needed fuzzy pink bunny ears for a picture. I've been totally lacking the Easter spirit so I figure maybe bunny ears will help... When I get something in my head - get out of my way cuz I am determined....

So I pack up the kids and tell them to get the puppy - one of them can stay in the van with the dog the other can go in and chase the baby. Well the puppy immeditally pees and poops on my seat in the van. Thank God I opted for leather! I am not happy with the puppy so she gets to stay home in the crate.

We get to k-mart and I am looking for bunny ears. There's none to be found. I search high and low. Meanwhile James is whizzing up and down the aisle in his heelies, Dani keeps throwing herself down on the floor to have a classic 2 year old temper tantrum and Ryan keeps wandering off in classic unmedicated ADHD style.... I finally corral up all the kids to go next door to Safeway and Ryan goes running back into the store without an explaination and comes out a few minutes later holding his jacket which he had left somewhere. At least this time he remembered before we were home.

So we walk next door and find the Easter display and there are 4 pairs of fuzzy pink bunny ears left! I make each of the boys put on a pair and I put on a pair. Dani sees all of us wearing bunny ears and lets us put a pair on her. The plan is if she thinks we all are doing it she will want to do it and so far it is working.

So I am trying to finish off buying a few things on my list. Dani is sitting in the BIG cart that has the extra 2 seats on it - kind of like a rumble seat - and the boys are fighting over who gets to sit in the other seat. Then James decides we need to buy the dog a squeeky toy and he gives it to Dani to test out. So all the way up and down the aisles you hear squeek squeek squeek giggle giggle giggle. After a few aisles of this torture I realize - JAMES is the one squeeking the toy. I threaten him with death and he puts the toy back in the cart at which point the princess starts to scream.

I only have about 20 things to buy but between the boys poking and fighting and nagging and Dani fussing I am near losing my mind. I mention to the boys I need artichokes for the soup and a stock boy brings me over 3 jars of artichokes from 2 aisles over - i think he had pity on me or something.

So an hour later - yes it took an hour to get 20 items - I am checking out and about to lose it. I make it home just to find that the big dumb dog has gotten into the trash and torn apart one of Dani's poopy diapers -and somehow managed to get 2 chocolate chip cookies off the counter (still not sure how she did this we think the cat might have helped) and has torn the tin foil it was in to bits.

BUT

I have my fuzzy bunny ears!
