But, as I was in Target today, I realized, I am in a gang and it's called "Motherhood!" I joined this gang September, 3rd 2012. I was initiated into this gang by a little thug named, Madeleine. She tried her best to break my spirit by her constant crying and constant feedings. There have been times where I thought for sure I wanted no part of this gang. Have you seen the way those thugs/kids act?!?! But, I am a proud member (most days :) )
There are millions of us in this gang and we have to stick together! So, when I was in Target I saw one of my fellow gang members on the verge of tears, all I wanted to do was give her a hug and a cocktail! Her little darling thug was throwing a fit in the middle of Target. Come on little thug, at Target?!?! They were in the middle of the toy aisle and the thug just threw a fit because she wanted a toy. The mom quickly put her in the basket and said, "No!" They then proceeded through out the store still shopping and the thug was letting it all out. Homegirl was going off!! People were staring and shaking their heads.
I will admit, before I was part of this gang I would have been the first one to roll my eyes and say to myself, "She needs to control that kid!!" I was that single person that thought, "If I was a mother I would know how to handle my child." Ohhhhhhh how naive I was before this gang!
These little thugs have a mind of their own and sometimes they are passed the point of control. Poor lady, I bet all she wanted to do today was go to Target, get a Starbucks coffee, browse around, and maybe buy a little something for herself. Damn those thugs!!!
When they made it to the register I let her cut in front of me and I could just see the pure gratefulness in her eyes. I know it made her feel better and I know that it made me feel like I could help a fellow gang member. I also thanked my little thug for being on her best behavior while I browsed! Small victory for mommy! So, please be kind to my fellow members, we take beating everyday from those little thugs!
Enough about my gang....
Well, our whole purpose of going to Target was to get stuff so make these cupcakes. Morgan is doing some intense training today and I thought I'd make him some "Good Job," treats! They're in the oven right now so I will let you know how they turned out tomorrow :) I'm sure mine won't look as nice but hopefully they taste good!
Here's a cute little video that happened earlier today and I couldn't stop laughing!!! Enjoy
Yes, that's me laughing!
