Embarrassing 2 me

If you know my daughter, you know she's extremely tenacious and determined. Those are euphemisms for being a world-class nag. She was scheduled to get braces on Tuesday and our babysitter was taking her (so I could go to work - bleh!). Kid became fixated on how the babysitter would get her there, relentlessly texting and calling me all day so I could give the babysitter directions. I chose to ignore her. Hubby called me urgently at night class, cuz kid #2 realized he had a homework assignment that required the printer ink we had just run out of. Out of class at 10pm, en route to Target for the ink. Kid still texting, calling and being really freakin' annoying. Just as I got back into the van after getting the (wrong) ink, she texted again. Since I was in a locked mini van in the Target parking lot at 11pm, I started screaming at the phone, "Leave me alone!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Isn't that what you would do? While squeezing the life out of my BlackBerry and screaming my guts out, I inadvertently called my husband.


LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!!



Knowing that I was at Target in the middle of the night and screaming, he logically concluded that I was being assaulted. I slipped the BB into my pocket and as I pulled out, it rang. Assumed it was the kid, so screamed some more and when I finally took a breath I heard my husband's very soft, very concerned voice saying, "honey, what's going on?" Oops. I don't know which is more mortifying - my husband knowing that I scream at my phone, or knowing that I sit in locked cars in empty parking lots, screaming to myself.
