wal-mart will be the end of me!

ok so usually i don't consider myself a very high drama person.
i consider myself to be rather mellow in fact.
however after briea, i have had some issues with being a little hormonal that i have never suffered from before with the boys!
keep that in mind as i rant about these crazy people at wal-mart and how i almost lost my cool!
situation one:
i was waiting for a parking spot. the lady was backing up. i would have been turning left to get into the spot. while i was waiting this lady came and she would have been turning right (which put her closer to the spot) but really had no relevance since i had been sitting there with my blinker on. as the lady backed up out of the spot, the other lady zoomed in and shook her finger at me as if scolding me. I about lost it. i was so angry. garran was giggling which did not help at the moment. i could not believe it. i think she might have seen the anger in my eyes because unfortunately for her the spot right next to her opened up. so i went ahead and pulled in. she waited to get out of her car until we were almost up by the doors. now i was not threatening her or yelling at her. in my mind i like to think that she waited in her car as almost an omission of guilt for her rudeness. i had all three of my kids with me lady!!! seriously what am i going to do.
situation two:
similar to situation one. i was driving through the parking lot looking for a spot. i had come around and started going up and isle. this crazy lady cut through one of the lanes and speeds up behind me. i see a spot open ahead of me. (im sure she had seen it too and this is why she was zooming around cutting the lanes trying to get to the spot) but i took it. i was first in line when it opened up. so i took it. i don't think that i was wrong. that is how the parking lot world works, right? so as im getting out of my van i hear "that f***ing woman needs to learn how to drive. ok not only is that trashy it was made worse by the fact that she had her three small children in the car. the youngest being cullans age. then i went in and started my shopping. all of a sudden from the other end of the isle that im standing on, i hear someone speaking just loud enough for me to hear but not speaking directly to me. "some people don't know how to drive. some @!*!@#* need to watch what their !@*?@*% doing." by this point i had had enough. i told garran that the only thing that stopped me from seriously saying something to this woman who was making a real scene was that we had BBQ to go to that night and i had to bring a dessert!
situation three:
this one is short but sweet. if im still standing at the register paying for my things.
PLEASE DO NOT RAM ME WITH YOUR CART!!!!!
be patient. everyone will get a turn!!
situation four:
last but not least. a few days ago, i had all three kids at the store with me alone. we have a rule that in the parking lot cullan and kael hold hands to keep from getting hit or running ahead. anyways we are coming out of the store and cars obviously pass in front of the entrance. however this lady passes by and we begin to walk across the way to get to the parking lot to get to our car. all of a sudden with no warning she starts backing up. i was not even a full arms length away from the back of her van.
i threw my hand out in almost a reflex that hit her back window and yelled "HEY". if my kids would have been on that side of the cart she would have hit them and not even seen them. i was so hot when she had the nerve to start yelling at me.
in conclusion ....
i think im swearing off wal-mart!

It doesn't matter if you're hormonal or not, that would be enough to make anyone furious!

Boy, Meghan, you're preachin' to the choir. I don't know anybody who hasn't had something not nice happen at some time or another. I had a girlfriend who was accused of parking in the handicapped slot by some woman. She hadn't and ended up being so angry at the thought of it that she waited for the woman to come out and proceeded to chew on her! Too bad Wal-Mart has the stuff you need that you almost have to go there to get it. Sara's right - nothing good ever comes of it.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
