Busy Children Day…

I went to Costco with Josh this morning. I had a few things to get and didn’t stray too much from my list (that doesn’t happen too often)!

We were in the check out line and I saw a lady I have seen around town. She has 3 boys and was taken by the fact that I had 6 boys. I don’t know where we first saw each other but greet each other when we do.

She was in line ahead of me… her three sons in the cart. The oldest is 5, then 4 years old and the baby was 2 years old.
They were getting anxioius to get out of there cart. People are looking, the teller is making facial expressions I have seen too often… she asks the mom… “Are they all yours? “

The mom says yes… and the teller continues “or do you get paid to do this?”
People are looking … the teller is still acting out.

I smile. I wonder what the teller would say if she knew I had 6 sons. She comments on Josh… “Today must be busy children day…’

As I wait for the exit person to check my reciept… I feel like I should ask this mom if she want to get together sometime.
OK God, are you telling me to do this? If she is there, where I can see her in the parking lot, I will stop.

As I get outside I scan the busy lot… nope… not in sight.

Then I get to my lane where we are parked. She is there… 2 cars away.

Hum.

I stop … we chat. Would you like to get together sometime?
She smiles… we chat and I give her phone number. I write on a McD french fry baggy.
I learn that she is a single mom with her three lovely boys.

I wonder if she will call.
