What the Heck?!
I am not sure what has happened to my life, but when I read my Peacocks blog and I compare it to what life is like now, I feel like I really may have been sucked into some Twilight Zone vortex. Seriously.
I was at Costco this morning and I think it must have been Senior Discount Day or something because EVERYONE there was a geriatric and moving along at a snail's pace. Now I don't want to sound like some callous, evil bitch. I love the elderly, adore my only living grandparent, and respect them to no end.....but when you have a 3 year old and a 7 month old in tow and need to race through the warehouse, stand in a line that wraps around the candy section three times, check out and make it home before my baby girl has to take a nap and my son needs his lunch.....literally moving a step every three minutes just doesn't work.
And while my bambini made it out of the store without any major meltdowns, I almost had a tantrum of my own as I waited in yet another line to exit the store...you know, that line where someone marks off your receipt just to make sure you aren't trying to steal the Charmin 54 roll dual ply toilet paper mega pack or a Sauder bedroom set. Yeah, I almost lost it as an ancient couple repeatedly rammed me in the ass as I was waiting in line to escape the store. EVERY freakin' step I took WHAM! cart in my rear....WTF?! I even looked back AND made eye contact with them to no avail. I think I may have a grate print bruise on my hindquarters from that one.....have mercy.

snicker - being a grown-up!
Though my life hasn't been nearly as exciting as yours, I can sympathise! It's a horror for the most part to wake up and realise that you've become domestic! Just recently, I made my way through Walmart's grocery side and bought (gag!) one big ROLL of hamberger meat and one big BOX of frozen beef patties! Of course, the reason is the communal thing going on here. My friends mom does all the dinners and feeds everybody - 5 adults and 3 kids. So, it's become about quantity over quality. Having very limited funds to buy anything, I'm forced to buy the ground garbage over the ground surloin I'd normally purchase!
God, I can't wait to move!!!!!!

I am proud of your patience Modelmom
I have been bumped a time or two-actually one time it was a child with the cart. But I just stepped forward and tried to stay away from the cart, lol. I guess we should be glad that it is shopping carts in the store and not cars in the parking lot. But yea, having to have a baby and three year old in tow, been there done that, and all I wanted to do was get my stuff and get out. It's like a race against time with the fact that the baby could start crying at any given moment, and the other , might have a bathroom accident, or be sick, or anything, so yea -- in and out is the best bet.
A trick I learned!
When it comes to the things we'd all rather not do - like, dealing with meetings over health insurance! I always bring the kid! Even if they say in advance "no kids allowed" ~ "sorry, I had no babysitter!". The reason is that no one wants to give a speech or do tons of paperwork with a little one who has no patience for such boring crap! 9 times out of 10 I get out of the meeting in under an hour!
Just a thought the next time ya'll have something unpleasant like that. Screaming kids CAN work in your favor!

I would have left that store big time...but not without getting my hands on a manager and asking for a new line to open up!!!!
