Next time the kids have a razzberry contest in the backseat of the van?

Make sure they’ve finished their chocolate ice cream first.

A soul-deep need

Bloggers everywhere seem to be talking about it lately, and I have been feeling an aching void inside that needed filling up.

Boomama, Bigmama and LilyLakeMom have caused to me to face the emptiness inside.

I needed to go to Target.

So today we all piled in the van and drove over an hour and across state lines to shop at Target.

But we stopped at Panera Bread for a snack on the way in.

I’m dieting, so I had french onion soup and avoided the croutons on top.

But I may have finished Luke’s cinnamon crunch bagel.

And Chloe’s cobblestone muffin.

But those don’t count since I didn’t actually order them.

Really.

We had a great time at Target and many absolutely necessary things were bought. Like Method eucalyptus mint cleaner and vanilla apple air freshener. And clips for Audrey’s hair. And wild blueberry honey.

Obviously, things we couldn’t live without and desperately needed to cross state lines for.

Before starting the long drive home, we stopped at the Starbucks counter. I got a pumpkin cream cheese muffin because I am dieting. You need veggies and everyone knows that dairy makes you skinny. It’s in all those commercials.

I might have “forgotten” to ask for nonfat milk in the cinnamon dolce latte that I needed to keep me awake for the long ride home. But since we’ve already established that milk makes you skinny, I’m sure it was fine.

But I have no comment on the coconut macaroons that jumped into my cart.

Really.

They did.

I have Biblical evidence that these things happen. Exodus 32:22-24. The golden calf just jumps right out of the fire. Aaron had nothing to do with it.

Just as I had nothing to do with those macaroons.

Except for eating one or two five.

But it’s ok.

Milk makes you skinny.

And I had a really big latte.

So, as you can see, a very satisfying trip to Target.

And I am feeling replete complete once more.

Uh-oh, what did they do?

Words to strike fear in the heart of any homeowner:

Mommy, we’ve been painting the walls black!

Thank God they were just pretending.

And that they were using feather dusters for paint brushes.

I don’t think my walls have been so clean since I had to vacuum them!
