[ spillage...! ]

sooooooo... i took the boys to wegmans easter saturday... & yes you can imagine how busy it was.

flynn had a stomach bug & hadn't eaten anything for over 24 hours. walking into a dr's waiting room carrying a sick looking child holding a bowl that is obviously for vomit is interesting!!! everyone shrinks...  & the look on the poor person's face with the only empty seat next to them was priceless!!

so when flynn said he wanted a piece of wegman's cheese pizza i said sure!! but it was only 10.30am ~ it wasn't ready yet... we did a bit more shopping... i got an empty wine box & filled it with a selection of bottles. i slid the box under the cart to make room for the rest of the shopping.

the pizza was ready & i sat the boys in the cafe area to eat. i go off to grab a couple of things & as i return the box of wine slid off the bottom of the cart & hit the ground sideways... some bottles fall out, three smash... glass flew out everywhere & whatever you think the liquid content of a bottle is triples when it spills on a wegman's floor. what was even worse was the way the tiles are pitched in the cafe made the wine flow under everyones feet.. so as i watched people, who two seconds ago, were enjoying their lunches, there were now forced to lift up their feet to avoid this unwelcomed lake of red... one child started screaming. i grabbed a roll of paper towel & tried to dam the flow... wegman's ladies started yelling at me to stop because of the glass.

my eyes start welling up... i look over at my boys & they are staring at the scenario open mouthed...

after what seemed like two centuries... the cool guy with the clean up cart arrived... i excuse myself & slip into a seat next to my guys... oscar points out that i'd dropped the 's' bomb several times... (basically i'd repeated the word s**t, loudly, when the event took place).

we carried on with our shopping & as i hadn't finished my cup of tea i wedged it (as i have done so many times before) down the side of the child seat. as we get past the fish counter i hear a thud & a splash... i look down & my stupid cup of tea fell, hit the bottom of the cart & left a puddle on the floor!!! i cause a huge traffic jam behind me & oscar sighs 'not again!!' too embarrassed to call the clean up guy again... i grab more paper towel get down on my hands & knees & polish the floor...

get me out of here!!!!
