I Had a Bad Day...

Doesn't it always seem like just when you can't take it anymore something else happens? I will be honest.. Today was definitely one of those days.

My day began by going to Sam's Club with Alison and Nathan to get all of the stuff for church. Not only was it absolutely packed and chaotic there, but both of the babies were incontinent to sit in the carts. So, while picking up the supplies, we navigated our two large carts through the many crowds of people while holding our babies. Of course when we went to pay, the line took forever to move and Brooke and Nathan weren't having it. Sam's didn't have everything we needed, so off we went to Wal Mart..

Wal Mart... I think that it has to be the closest thing to hell on earth. The masses of people (and most of them shady) combined with the screaming children, long lines, and filth are just the tip of the iceberg on how repulsing that store is. Unfortunately they do offer the lowest prices. Anyways, after going there for ages and using my church credit card to pay for everything tax exempt, they told me that I had to pay the tax unless I had some special card. That's news to me!They sent us to the service counter to take care of the issue, causing us to have to reload the cart back up. Mind you, we purchased 2 highchairs for the church, on top of several small things. After lugging 2 carts, 2 babies, and all of our junk through the nasty store, we waited in a 10 minute line. Finally, we were done. However, as we were almost out of the door, the man came tracking us down to see our receipt to ensure that we really paid for the highchairs. Since when do they actually care about that stuff at Wal Mart? That's all I want to know.

After our rough morning, Ali and I were both fried. We went up to the church to make dinner and it had to have been 90 degrees in there, at least. That's not exactly my preferred temperature for cooking. Brooke had sweat dripping from her. Poor baby! We cooked the meal, served the meal, and then helped clean up the meal, while juggling our children.

Once I thought I was in the clear, I found out that John had a flat tire. It's our new car and this is the first problem we've had with it. It figures that the one day we have an issue would be TODAY, on top of everything else. John's dad came over to help us and we found a 6 inch long piece of scrap metal in the tire. Our car has expensive tires too. What are you gonna do, though?

Anyways, though it was a long, long, LONG day, I'm thankful that I have a wonderful life, despite it all. So many people who are dying of hunger or losing a loved one to cancer would most likely look at me and want to trade in a heartbeat. Thank goodness that tomorrow is another day!
