How many of you have headed to Walmart to pick a few things and when they tell you your total you look at your cart and wonder... What did I buy that could possible cost that much???? 
Ok so I thought I would venture out to Wal-mart with my little ones while the rest of the kids were at school. Our Super Wal-mart is about 35 Minutes. away. I have done this before but it had been awhile... my shopping list included big Tupperware bins for moving, some much need food since we had been gone for a week and were out the everyday things like eggs,milk and bread and the kids asked for a Big bouncy ball. I got one of those Big shopping carts that make you feel like your pushing a Semi. We finished getting the stuff on my list, picked out the "Perfect" bouncy ball and headed for the bins. We lost the ball a time or two I would chase after it with Maizie giving directions to Hurry Up! We must have looked Out Of Control because I had 2 different Lady's ask if they could help. We made it out to the car buckled in and began for home. The 1st exit that I usual take was backed up for miles so I passed by thinking, "I'll catch the next one." The same thing on the next exit. I had one more exit to catch to make it home. Sure enough all those cars sitting and waiting in line who I had thought I had "Out Smarted" were getting off the freeway earlier because of the big accident at my last and final exit and the exit was CLOSED. Ahh!!! I kept driving knowing I didn't know my way home from this new route that I was about to undertake. Maizie must have felt my pain because she began saying, "I want to go home," and looking awfully afraid! I began handing back Nutter Butters this lovely happy face toy, anything to try to keep the girls Happy and Quite as I tried to figure out my way home. I began to call Heath ... but no answer... the freeway was under construction and the next few exits and were closed. So I had to take these side roads.. I drove and drove and drove. After a while I looked back to check on the girls and they had both given up on me and fell asleep. I made it home hour later and with in minutes of my Primary meeting at my house. Was I ever glad to see my house. I threw myself on the couch and said Wow.. that was Rough!
Heath laughed and said, "but you only had 2 of them!"
