So we get up on Thursday morning and have a whole list of places to go, starting with getting Lonnie's hair cut. My plan was to drop Lonnie off and while he was there me and Jae would go visit some friends at the place were I use to work. Tantrum #1 starts. Jae got so mad at me because first- she wanted to play with the toys that are in the Salon. Second- She wanted to be with her daddy and third- She wanted to see Ms. Tonya. Oh my was she mad. Real tears and all. So we go have a good visit with my friends and she is fine until we go back to pick up lonnie. Here we go again. "I WANNA PLAY WITH MY TOYS." "I WANNA SEE MS. TONYA." She goes to sleep shortly after that and when we arrive in the town we were going to (30 min. away) she wakes up. She seems to be in a better mood so we attempt to go into a Chinese Restaurant. Lonnie fixes his plate, then I go fix Jae's plate. Within the time I am fixing her plate I am already hearing pretty loud voices come from our table. I get back to the table and she is fussing and Lonnie is trying to scold her quietly. Needless to say I was in a big rush to fix my plate and eat my food. She was getting so loud. I was so thankful we were in a back corner and there was only a young couple and 2 older single people sitting back there.
Next stop was a gift shop. I had to pick up my darling little cousin a Graduation gift. Lonnie and Jae stay in the truck and I go in to make my purchase. Remind you, while I was walking into the store my child is throwing a HUGE temper tantrum. When I came out Our lil fit thrower is asleep again. Ahh, Peace and quiet is all we heard for about 45 minutes. We then took her into 2 stores and she did fine. For some reason She always does great in Lowe's. Strange but true. But as we got ready to go into A certain craft store she started up again. this time it didn't last long So we decided all of us would go in. She was doing ok until we got to the check out. Let me tell you we were in this store in mid afternoon in the middle of the week; so the store was empty and quiet. While at the check out Jae and Lonnie and talking and teasing back and forth( something they always do) and Jae begins to get loud. I being the goof ball person I am Looked at the Cashier and tried to make a joke about it. I said something like" I don't know this kid. I don't know where she came from. The cashier smiled and I thought okay we're gonna make it out of here without anything worse happening. Keep in mind Lonnie and Jae are still goofing off and when they do this for some reason Jae always looks at Lonnie and says " Come on you big ol, big ol guy."So she says this phrase As I pay my money to the cashier and we begin walking out of the store. I can hear this woman say " I heard her say it and then I turned around and saw her." then I heard a man's voice. I turned around and Saw about 4 or 5 Employees staring at me, Lonnie, and Jae. I looked at Lonnie and said " why are they all staring at us?" "All she said was come on you big ol, big ol guy." He then told me that they are not around our 3yr old daughter all the time and probably didn't know what she was really saying. Then he told me they probably thought she was saying "look at that big ol black guy." Oh my gosh, was I so embarrassed that this is what those people probably thought she said. I just wanted to crawl in a hole. Then we get in truck and she falls asleep again. (did I mention that my daughter had only had about 5 hours of sleep before we woke her up that morning?) SO, I run into the grocery store with my list for 2weeks worth of groceries. About 45 minutes later I come out to the truck. Jae is still asleep and Lonnie starts to load the groceries into the truck. All the sudden this woman walks by and very sarcastically says " Boy, you got you some groceries didn't you?" Okay, I have to admit this just made me want to cry and after all the rest of the day had went I just wanted to go crawl under a rock and never come out! I decided our trips after these two days would be limited to 4 hours or less. Unless we were going out of state or something. In the next five days me and Jae only took one trip and it was to my mom's house. We decided it was better to stay home and play outside. Although, now I think after playing and planting some flowers outside for two day; she has developed some nasty allergy problems. After giving her over the counter children's allergy medicine for 3days and not really getting any better we now have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. This only the 4th time my child has been sick in almost 3 years. 2 ear infections, strep throat and now allergies. I think she must of inherited that from her daddy. Hopefully she will get some good meds in her and be back to her energetic self minus the fussing. Now that I am looking back, she might have already been feeling bad. That might of been why she was fussing sooo much. I have to say it has been very quiet the last 2 or 3 days around my house. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Happy Thursday to all of you!!
Lonnie painted her lil coupe, so she was eager to try it out.
