So before I put away all my groceries, I thought I'd just get on here and waste some time.
I've been out since about 9:30 this morning...Lynné graciously let my kids stay with her while I went to Other Mothers' 25-cent sale. The sale was crazy. I got there before the store opened (not on purpose, I just didn't know it wouldn't open until 10) and there was a line outside the door...that's not unusual, but inside, there was so little room to move around the tables piled with clothes that once I was done looking through one table, I had to wait until someone else at another spot wanted to trade places with me because there was not even room to squeeze in anywhere. Well, I did find some decent stuff, and just what I was looking for, though it took some time. By the time I was in line to get my bag counted and pay, lots of other people were in line too so I spent a total of about 30 minutes in the counting line and the paying line. Ugh.
Lynné invited us to stay for lunch, which was so nice to have some de-stress time before we started up our shopping again. And the kids had helped cut out baked raised doughnuts, so we had those for dessert and they were really good.
Then on to the four stores. Everything went pretty smoothly (other than the constant reminders to Timothy NOT to walk in front of the cart and not to ask for things) until we got to our last stop. I had just bought a couple things at Super Supplements and had thought, "Should I put this bag in the back with the rest of the groceries, or just leave it up here?" and decided to put it between my seat and Noelle's (she's right behind me) so I wouldn't have to open the back. Little did I know that something could happen--and did. David stepped on the bag on the way to getting out, and popped open the liquid laundry detergent. If that's not bad enough it's like ultra 3X concentrated stuff so it's SUPER sudsy. Well, our car smells of grapefruit and orange extracts now, and I think I'll have to use my mom's steam cleaner to really get it out. AUGH.
I kinda want to take a nap, but I really need to get these groceries where they belong and start on dinner.
