Just another Tuesday

Last night we took JM2 to the ER since JM1 slammed a door into JM2 which forced the plastic tube he was holding in his mouth into JM2's soft palate. He's ok just a little shook up but it kinda set the tone for today. Everyone got up late (except the baby, of course) and our morning got off to a slowish start. We (me and all the monkeys) headed to Target to get JM1 some jammies. JM2 has so many he can't shut the drawer and JM1 has 2 pair! So we went to remedy that problem. Target with all three of my monkeys can be somewhat harrowing, so we did the Shopping-at-Target ritual where the kids share a bag of popcorn and slurpees for everyone (except JM3) We got situated with our stuff and heading on over to the boys clothing section. We found the jammies and I got him 4 pairs so he would have plenty. (spongebob, and spiderman)

Then I decided to go see the hard floor vacs. They had one on sale but it was sold out so I was looking at all the others. JM1 and JM2 found some kid recliners on a floor shelf and decided to take a load off and sit down to wait on me. All of a suddden I hear a loud crash and a shelf holding 2 more chairs has fallen on top of my monkeys and they are screaming. I run to pull the shelf off (as did a Targeteer) The boys were ok but they had literally pulled the shelf above them on top of themselves! And somehow JM2 had made his toes get tangled up in his sandal straps and it had cut off his circulation and he was crying about that. I have no idea how his toes even got involved in all of this, but we fixed his shoes and he seemed to be ok. The Target lady kept asking over and over again if he was ok. (can you say Lawsuit?!) Of course it was the boys fault and they were ok so I wouldn't even think about doing something like that, but I could tell that she thought I might. Right after that another Targetian came over and asked if I needed help getting a vac. I told him that the one I wanted was gone and he said he would get one from the back. More waiting. The monkeys were getting restless so JM2 head butted JM1 and his popcorn spilled all over the floor which didn't go over very well with JM1. So JM2 decided he would just sit in the floor and play with the spilt popcorn. Whatever makes him still and quiet!

We got a vac and picked up a couple of other things including a bin to hold the rest of the Easter stuff. JM3 had had enough shopping and didn't hesitate to let the world know just before we got to checkout. We paid and they were loading our cart up when the checker noticed that the lid I got for the bin didn't fit. Now this is my LIFE STORY! You would think by now that I would ALWAYS check the lid! So now we have to go all the way back to get the lid and of course the bin section is in Anchorage Alaska. We finally get over there - and did I mention that JM3 is done shopping? We're in the aisle and come to see that there are no lids that fit my bin. The same Targetite that helped with the vacumes went to go and get a lid but before he did another Targetonian noticed that the bin I bought was missing a wheel so I needed to get a whole new bin too! Finally, we got out of there!

I gotta go to bed.
