Most Embarrassing Mom Moments!

Mother's Day is approaching and what better time than now to share your "most embarrassing" moments as a mom.  I love hearing funny stories involving children.  What they don't come up with!

I will get this started (and this isn't one of my proudest moments, but will share with you).

One day, I was toting around my 3 and 1 year old boys (now 4 & 6) running errands.  We were FINALLY finished and on our way home to have lunch.  Of course, we get behind the slowest person going about 12mph in a 35.  My 3 year old son was whining about hoooooooow hungry he was, and the baby was screaming.  So all I wanted to do was get home, and get there FAST!

We reach our street, (still have a good stretch to go), and I approach another slow moving car in front of me.  This person was obviously hunting for a house because she kept stopping & going, and was not towards the side of the street, and there was no way for me to get around her.  So ALL THE WAY down the street we're braking  & going.  All the while the kids in the background..., so finally I say "Come on, you idiot."  Finally the car stops 2 houses down from mine to let me go, and I get in my driveway, and begin unbuckling the kids.  The lady was a mail carrier with an Express package to be delivered to me!   **Sigh***  And my 3 yr old gets out of the van and says ... "Hey lady, my mamma called you an idiot!"  

I was sooooooooo embarrassed.  Oh my gosh!  I apologized, of course, and have learned  to watch everything that is said in front of my kids.  And, I try to keep my patience in check when we're closing in on little meltdowns.  How else are we supposed to raise compassion, patience, and understanding if we don't "behave" appropriately.  So we definitely try to lead by example in our home!

Hope you found this somewhat enjoyable and can't wait to hear your stories!  Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
