It is 10:24 p.m. on a Sunday night. I just returned from driving to three different stores to find pink and white Circus Animal Cookies for Zoey to take to school tomorrow as her birthday treat. After striking out completely at the first Safeway, running to Albertsons and thinking I had scored with the Holiday edition cookies (no pink to be found, but look Zoey, red and green sprinkles!), only to be met with a disgruntled 3-year-old insisting "NO, Mommy, I want pink!", and not having the heart to argue with said 3-year-old who missed her birthday party this weekend, I finally hit the jackpot at Safeway #2.
She will be hearing about this later on in life.
As in, "I labored for 17 hours before giving birth to you, and on your third birthday drove to three separate grocery stores in 29 degree weather to find precisely the right animal cookies for you to take to preschool".
But at least she's on the mend!
