Karma said "BEND OVER!"

Today started out as normal as any other day.  I got up and got Robert ready for his second to last day of school, fed him breakfast and headed out the door to the bus.  It wasn't raining but it was foggy and wet so I had him put his rain coat on.  We made it most of the way to the bus stop when it started sprinkling.  Ok, sprinkling, no big deal, I can get a little wet, I won't melt.  We get to the bus stop and the other kids and parents all get there, all with umbrellas of course and it starts POURING!!!!  Fortunately Robert stayed dry in his rain coat while we huddled under the umbrellas.  Thank goodness someone was more prepared than me!  After the bus came the rain had let up some and I walked home soaking wet in the drizzle.

When I got home I got changed into dry clothes and shoes and got everyone ready to go to breakfast and grocery shopping.  Breakfast went well.  The kids ate everything and the baby was only slightly crabby.  Grocery shopping went well too.  The boys went to the free babysitting service and had a great time, and Kyrie was pleasant for the entire trip.  We checked out and didn't have any coupon issues.  (I saved $128.50 WAHOO!!!)  Bob went out ahead of me to take Kyrie and 2 of the 3 carts to the van and I took a cart and went to pick up the boys.  The boys were well behaved and I didn't even need to stop back for any bathroom visits during the entire shopping trip.  (That never happens!)

After picking up the boys is when the day took a big turn for the worse.  The boys each put a hand on the side of my cart and we proceeded to walk out of the front of the store.  We got no further than the office because there was a man on the floor having a seizure.  Bob (being an EMT) had stopped to help him until the ambulance arrived.  There was a store employee with Kyrie and our 2 carts.  She helped me and the kids out to the van with the carts while Bob stayed inside to help.  I loaded the boys and the baby into the van and was beginning to put the groceries away when an old man with a cane came walking by.  He smiled at me and so I smiled back.
Then he asked me "Are you pregnant?"  (Referring to the parking spot for pregnant woman and parents of new children.)  Still smiling I told him no, I am not but I do have small children, and pointed to the sign.
He stopped and read it, and asked, "well how new a parent are you?"
"Do you really want to get into this with me?"  I asked.  The smiling had stopped and scowling began.
"Well how old are your kids?" he wanted to know
"This is not funny." I told him.
"Well I want to know."  he told me.
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" I growled.  He stopped talking then and went to his car that was parked next to mine.  I imagine he was upset because he couldn't use it as his pseudo handicapped parking spot.  He's a very lucky man that he did not come close to our touch my van in order to see the children and assess  their ages.  Mother bear syndrome would have kicked in because he's way too close to my cubs.  He'd find it a little difficult to walk with that cane up his behind.

After watching the old man get into his car and drive off.  (Standing, looking angry and aggressive with my hands on my hips.)  I proceeded to put away the rest of the groceries and sit to wait for Bob.  Did I mention that the boys forgot their coats inside and were flipping out?  They carried on like mad until we were able to get them for them.  Anyway, the ambulance arrived while I was packing up and the boys were so excited to see it, especially since it was the one from right next door to our house.  Soon the seizure man was all packed up, Bob got the coats, and was in the van so I could share my old man story with him and hear about the sick man.  Or the man who I thought was sick anyway.  As it turns out seizure guy was a shop lifter.  When the store security guy stopped him, or rather grabbed him and put him on the ground, shoplifter guy started to have a "seizure."  Yup that's right, Bob stopped to help a big faker!

Hey karma, what on earth have I done to deserve today?  I hope you can  make up for it this evening!
