Living on West Tulsa Time

I was so mortified

I went to meet a few of the Metro Tulsa Mom's at a library for preschool story time. They have these vinyl covered things designed for the kids to sit and climb on. The kids had been taking turns crawling across them until one little girl perched on the highest place and wouldn't budge. She sat down to read a book. G-man proceeded to try to squeeze past her and pushed her off. I got to them just in time to catch her and him. Her mom stabilized her but I couldn't get G-man off of the spot without knocking her off again. So I grabbed him by the shirt and and extracted him safely. I warned him if he wasn't nice and take turns then I would make him leave. Then he and Jack were running. Jack's mom and I both warned them to stop. The 2nd time I told G-man we were leaving. He ran off. He knocked over a book rolly thing and a little old lady. After a 5 minute chase I drug him back to my purse and the video he wanted to check out. I ceremoniously put the video back and took the little hood out to the atrium to dress them. I couldn't get Tiger to be still to put his outerwear on. G-man was kicking and screaming cuss words. Finally I got them bundled up and took them to the car. I had to drag G-man half way across the parking lot we lost both of his shoes when he just went limp and refused to budge. I couldn't pick him up with Tiger in my arms. I have totally failed as a mother to this boy. I cried all the way home as he continued to kick my seat and scream.
