Bug Off Bitch

I like notice occasionally. I'm loud, bitchy and dramatic- at times. On a regular basis I'm just me and don't like too much attention when I'm out and about. Most often if you leave me alone, I'll do the same back.

Most recently, this afternoon and on our trip, we have had extra unwanted attention. A negative sort of attention. Back before my beautiful boys were born I probably would have called out these people but I like to think that now I have more restraint. Although, on these two incidents I wonder how.

Today, we as a family went out to order cupcakes for an upcoming family event. At the bakery we had to wait, discuss, draw, choose, pay, etc. It takes time to place an order and the kids were being kids. Nothing the two of us couldn't handle. The other patrons and in fact the baker paid no attention until... a very pregnant and mismatched 40 year old and her gray haired husband walk in and spot us. It was hard not to since the shop was the size of a clam shell. They ordered and chose to sit next to us. She even asked if we were using the 2 seat table where she wanted to squeeze into because our car seat was near it, you know next to my chair- as if it had another place it could fit. I moved it- she sat.

And for the rest of her croissant she watched us. She sat with her back to us so she very obviously turned her entire body around to look at me, the toddler and the whole brood. She did so over 5 times and just stared. I tried not to pay any attention but I felt like yelling: HELLO, Can we HELP YOU???

I went on playing pretend with the boy as hubby finished the order. It seems that during this time the couple got so annoyed that they took their items unfinished and left. It is not my fault that her pregnancy was winning and she looked like shit but bitch mind your own freakin business. My kids were not yelling, screaming, crying or running so in mommyland they were well behaved!

But, nothing compares to our trip.
