Escape to Costco

Well today I didn’t really feel like it was an escape.  The kids and I got along pretty swimmingly.  Only a few meltdowns/tantrums/food thrown on the floor…you know the usual when you have littles.  Oh yeah I think Elijah ate some crayon bits…but that’s pretty normal too so hey overall a good day!

Had to do the normal Costco run for some diapers, wipes, granola bars, cheese its…you know the usual goods.

I was VERY proud of myself.  I totally stuck to my list!  If you’ve ever been to Costco you KNOW what a feat that is AND that I DESERVE some kind of prize.  I would totally take one of those $1 Churros by the way!

SO GOOD!  If you haven’t had one you SHOULD RUN ASAP and get one.  SO GOOD!  Oh yeah I already said that…anyhoo…

So hey this is a nice post so far…

THEN...

AN EXERCISE IN PATIENCE (those caps are for you) by the way.  Hehe!

I digress…

So I go to the self-checkout after being told by an employee there was a self-checkout line open and it’ll be faster for me.  I had ALL big things in my cart pretty much (including the 100 pack of Diet Coke..well not 100 but you know what I mean) so I was doubtful but I headed over anyway.  Upon arrival I had to sort of fight with a teenage girl to be able to share the space between the other self-checkout and the carts.  I was a bit peeved but whatever what can ya do?

I checked out with my cart full of big and heavy items and headed down the aisle toward the exit for “receipt check”.  Mind you I was TOTALLY on the side walking out of the way at a nice pace…DEF not too slow and DEF out of the way!  Good thing because I see a man bringing up the rear veering around a poor lady “in his way” and coming towards me. 

For about 3 seconds there was that awkward moment when you walk next to someone and not really look at them and you feel like you are racing or something.  WEIRD!

THEN the crazy man (let me add he was on his cell phone) swerved around and in front of me RIGHT AT THE “receipt check” so I had to slam on my breaks to keep from hitting him.  HOW RUDE MR! 

Seriously pulling out the Stephanie on that one…

When it was my turn the nice “receipt checker” man gave me a bit of a head shake and I moved on and out to my car.

I sat there and brooded about it all the way home.  SERIOUSLY annoying.  


BUT…I don’t have too much time to dwell on that kind of thing too long.  I mean when I got home it was bath time and then bedtime with the kiddos and on to a nice evening of catching up on tivo and bloggy stuff. 

Happy Friday!

PS:  I will be a little bit distant the next week or so because I’ll be out of town visiting family in Ohio BUT that means I’m going to have a couple SUPER AWESOME PEEPS filling in a day or so for me.  


LOOK FORWARD TO THAT!!!!

Have a lovely week guys and I’ll see you on the flip side (the flip side being after a LONG 8 hour car ride one way with 4 kiddos and then 5 days later the return trip).
