No doubt that will be a BIG surprise to many people....Plus....a certain Yankee that I know will have mucho explaining to do!
Ya'll pray for me today! 
In an effort to tighten the bonds between Mother (me) and daughter (Princess), I have agreed to go shopping with her and the GRANDS today.In the words of Dr Phil: WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!
Princess LOVES to shop and never met a mall she didn't like. Believe me when I tell you, she didn't get it from me!
Our past experiences shopping together, have not always been pleasant. She is a marathon shopper, and 3 hours is my limit. That is from start (leaving home) to finish (getting back home).
Many times while out on shopping trips, I feel more like the board, restless child than the parent.
Our last trip together involved Wal-Mart. This after much debating. Her point of view, while pleading her case to her hubby Super Trooper, "No, honey, you don't understand how stressful it is shopping with Mama. If you don't leave when she is ready, she starts showing out worse than the kids." 
Who.....Me....? Show out...? Never! 
Just because I start dancing with Trooper Junior,singing, or throwing random things in the shopping carts of others while they aren't looking, or tapping people on the shoulder as they walk past and make it seem like she did it.....
That trip ended up being pretty smooth, as I promised on my word of honor as a Me-Ma, to be good and mind my manners.
On the trip home, I looked over to her in the drivers seat and asked:
"Was I good, Mommy. Huh....was I....was I a good girl?" 
She was trying not to laugh and nodded her head, talking to me like she talks to her children:
"Yes Mama. You were very good."
"Do I get a prize for being good?"
"Yes, Mama. I'll buy you a Happy Meal." 
So, we have set down the ground rules for Tuesday.
I will not whine and pout about wanting to go home.
I understand that we will be gone for more than 3 hours.
She understands that Mama doesn't like crowds and won't scold me.
I am allowed to take Trooper Junior and or Angel and show them off.
If I begin to dance in public, I won't take offense when she walks off acting like she doesn't know me.
She agrees to not roll her eyes or huff and puff.
Mama will be allowed smoke breaks as needed.
Mama will take a nerve pill before leaving.
Princess will buy Mama lunch and that DOES NOT mean a Happy Meal.
She WILL NOT ask my opinion on any outfit she picks out for herself. The last time she did so, we almost came to blows as she held up a yellow and black dress for my opinion, then got all kind of insulted when I commented: "It's okay, if you want to look like a bumble bee."
If Princess starts giving Mama attitude,sass or lip, she understands that I will embarass her. Which, by the way, I have been know to do in the past, and will gladly do so again without skipping a beat.
If it drags on past 6 hours, I am allowed to have 1 temper tantrum.
Like I said...ya'll pray for me! And, you better pray for her too!
Later Ya'll...
