Today's hero come from a friend:
... yesterday I took the kids to Winco all by myself (quite the task, I'm sure you know) and they were getting restless. I picked up B to help him pick a jar of jam and Z reached over and knocked a big glass jar of jelly off the shelf which shattered all over the floor. I just hung my head, feeling so overwhelmed with motherhood. A sweet little old lady walked over to me, guessed the kids ages correctly and said, "I remember a long time ago being in your shoes. just leave it and finish your shopping. One day at a time, honey." And with a smile she walked away. Boy did I need that lady to be there at that time!
