Unexpected Moments
There are times in your life when you may find yourself doing the unexpected. This may be something a little as NOT going straight home from picking the kids up, but stopping off for ice cream on the way (for no reason of course), or taking the kids to the grocery store with you at night when it’s empty for shopping (a must-do if you’ve never do it by the way.) I know I personally get really sick of routine and love it when life throws something fun my way, even if it doesn’t seem fun at the time. Case in point, my son’s busted backpack and binder. Oh yes, only a few months into school and his backpack already snapped a strap and his “core class” binder split up the spine. I decided to rush and replace them while man-cub was at piano practice. Sadly, our Office Max didn’t carry backpacks that weren’t under $100 or “High School Musical 3!” (Don’t even get me started on that. High school is not, never was and never will be a sunshiny place filled with fresh-faced lilting, friendly kids.) When I picked up man-cub I was still short one backpack. “What will it be?” I ask. “Target” he replies. Twenty minutes later we have a beautiful black backpack for… $2.28 (God I love Target. On clearance, normally $38.99.) At this point we’re both thirsty (from laughing at their giant “poo” looking candy cardboard thing that’s all over the store. I really have no idea what it’s supposed to be, but it looks like poo with a face!) and I decide that we must go to Sonic. We pull into the car delivery area and munch on our dinner with the moon roof open and a lovely Fall breeze. Who knew you could have such fun shopping for a backpack and binder? Rather than just go home that day and “deal with it on the weekend,” we had a little unexpected journey together. 4 comments from 3 users

I am having an unexpected day...Ava is having some problems, so I cleared my schedule to take the day off, hang out with her at her school and just pal around together. You've got to take advantage of those moments when you can.

Good for you! I agree, they don't come around too often. Have a wonderful day with your beautiful daughter.

Yeah, what's is with that "poo" thing on the signs at target? Even Emy calls it poo. (A real shining moment for me by the way: "mommy, mommy, poo in the air!" Nice.)

Totally. I guess it's some kind of Halloween monster thing. All I see is poo. I agree with Emy.
