The Nerves are Shot!

I can tell I am nearing the end of pregnancy. There is very little patience left. Not so much with my family, but with the public. I was at Wal-Mart this morning and there was a a very loud and socially awkward woman on her cell phone. She was talking so loudly that you had to have been able to hear every word from a 50yd radius. And, she was telling a story that involved a colorful vocabulary. All I could think was 1. Don't say anything and 2. If my kids were with me I would have to say something.

When I left Wal-Mart I met up with Chip and the kids. We decided to take them to the McDonalds playground for lunch. My mood went from bad to worse. We ordered at 11:10am. I took the kids to the play place while Chip waited on the food. At about 11:12 Ella crawled through what appeared to be urine in the "tree house". A grandmother went to tell the workers that it needed to be cleaned. By 11:30 we still did not have our food and the play place still had not been cleaned. By my request, Chip demanded our money back and we left. We went through the Wendy's drive thru and went HOME! I SWEAR I will not go back there. I have said that once but this time I am serious.

So, the kids ate and went to bed. I put on pj's, laid on the couch and watched/napped through SWEET HOME ALABAMA. Ahh, I am better now.

Home, sweet, home. Ahhh. I'm so glad you are better. Not only are there places to which we need never go again, but we also need to complain. Yes, we do. G

I despise walmart. When I have a big grocery trip to make, Kris usually goes for me. He knows I will come back in a horrible mood otherwise. We usually come back sick from playing at indoor play places.....so I have band them as well. I promise I am not a mean Mommy.
I hope other than the public driving you crazy (which is totally understandable and this point in your life) .....I hope you are doing well.
