VENTING!!!

Lately, it's been really hard bring both kiddos to the store. Tre has to walk because I don't have enough room in the cart for food if he is in there. He's pretty good about following. William sits in the front of the cart, but the older he gets, the more he hates it. He wants to run around like his brother, but he doesn't actually follow...or listen, for that matter. I told Jack this morning that I was going to wait for him to get home to go, so that I could keep my sanity.

However, the over achiever in me decided to brave it alone and go with the kids. It really wasn't bad. Tre followed and William didn't complain TOO TOO much! Then we came to the checkout. It drives me NUTS that Walmart has about 50 lanes and only opens about 3, two of those are 20 items are less. It doesn't leave much room for choices.

Luckily, or so I thought, I got in the only lane that I could choose from and was the second one in line. However, the lady in front of me had about 50 coupons and even more newspaper clippings of ads whose store had cheaper items. All was fine until they got to the darn green peppers and couldn't figure out how to override them! I literally, without exaggeration, waited in line for 45 minutes. By this time, William was screaming and squirming and Tre's behavior was nothing to brag about either. I couldn't blame them, I was ticked too!

They finally opened another lane, so I loaded my groceries back on the cart and went to that lane, only to run into more coupon confusion with the lady in front of me! I should have gotten my groceries for free after all that mess! My ice cream was melted!
