You know how there are some things you never want your parents to know about you? Well I would prefer that my parents not know that I leave my kids in the car to get cookies from Celebrity Bakery. But oh the best laid plans....
One Wednesday I was running errands, trying to pick up everything to take dinner to a friend who had a baby, meet another friend for lunch and get home to feed the kids before my spa night with Shelma. Very busy day. I went to lunch with Brittany at La Madeline and after that I was going to swing by Celebrity to pick up the cookies for Chris and her family. I called ahead and had the cookies boxed and ready to go. I pulled into a handicapped parking space (it was right by the door and I could see the spot from the cash register) took my keys in with me and got the counter - now the whole time I am on my cell phone with my friend Allison - and told them my name and pulled out money to pay for said cookies. All of a sudden I hear my full name being called out. I turn around and there sits my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and niece. I quickly hang up the phone and just walk out. I was totally busted. What do you do? I reparked the car and brought the kiddos in and we sat with them for a while. But seriously I think my family might be questioning my parenting abilities at this point.
