10 Years!

Today is the eve of the 10 year wedding anniversary for Carl and I! I cannot believe it has been 10 years already. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
I am linking to my post from last year about our anniversary. Just replace all of the "9's" with "10's" LOL!

I Brought Fruit Snacks and Granola Bars

Went to the Splash Pad today, mainly because I was too lazy to take the kids to the zoo as I had planned, yet needed to get them out of this house still. They are finally at the age where I can kind of/sort of read a book while glancing up at them every few seconds to make sure they are still alive and not wandering off with some stranger. And today they conquered some of their fears, Henry went all the way across the monkey bars today for the first time! For such an athletic kid, this feat has been something that he just hasn't been able to accomplish until now. Well, that and riding a bike. Hopefully he will knock that one out next. And Teagan got all the way up the "spider web" net thingy that goes up to the highest slide in the park. Very cool! I had to laugh though when it got to be snack time. Here I was giving my kids the fruit snacks and peanut butter granola bars that just happened to be left over in my purse from our Ohio trip. Every OTHER mom was handing out watermelon slices, carrot sticks and apples, etc. Oh well, at least I didn't have Snickers bars and "Fruit Punch". I looked a lot better when two more moms showed up and pulled out their Harlequin romances and cigarettes. HA!

And know how I hate Wal-Mart and do anything to avoid going there? I was forced into making a trip there because someone told me they had the acceptable uniform pants for Henry's school there. While I'm in the store, a customer starts losing his head and is screaming his lungs out at the front desk for whatever reason ("couldn't handle the re-model?" another customer joked to me) and the police were called to drag him out of the store. Then when I'm leaving the strip mall, I end up calling 911 because I see a man beating the woman in the passenger seat of his car WHILE HE IS DRIVING. Lovely. I swear, it's like Wal-Mart lives in its own little vortex of suck. No matter what town's Wal-mart you go to, it is awful. Too weird.

Buh-Bye Retail, Don't Let the Door Hit Ya... You Know the Rest

I am no longer a retail employee!! Woo-hooo!! Which is funny, because after about, oh I don't know, 1998 or so, I never thought I would be a retail employee again. But I guess you never know where life will lead you. In defense of my place of employment, it fit into the schedule I needed at the time, the people I worked with/for were pretty cool and I am very thankful for the job, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy to leave:) But really only because humans are pretty much freaking jerks to retail employees. So to recap; please people, have your coupons and method of payment ready WHEN THE CASHIER HAS TOTALED YOUR BILL. What is so hard about that? Indiana does NOT sell alcohol on Sundays, I can't magically produce the pizza or ad item you want after it has already sold out, just because some lazy ass put the item on a 75% off rack does NOT mean you get it for 75% off, and I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR STUPID CHECK DIDN'T CLEAR. And while we're at it, it is 2009 already- why the heck are you still writing a check???? Oh, and please also hurry it up because they time us on our transactions:)
