| When furniture shopping leave the kids at home!! We went furniture shopping today. OMG what a nightmare. I swear both my kids got up on the wrong side of the bed. We didn't want to deal with delivery for stuff since I didn't find all the stuff I wanted at one store. So we took my dads truck and trailer and Ryans truck and trailer. Well first the kids wanted to ride with Ryan, but they couldn't agree on who got to sit up front so one ended up riding with me. Then they had to pee. Not at the same time, both different times. Then they were hungry, not for the same thing though. We finally get to the furniture place and we are looking at couches and we find one that we like so we talk to the sales guy. My son, the younger one Troy, asks the guy if he spills stuff on the couch if it will stain and the guy ignores my son. So he asks the sales guy again. The guy totally ignored him again. Not good, if you want me to buy something from you. So I asked the guy to please answer my son, so the guy answers him and acts like it is the biggest pain in the ass ever. I nicely tell the guy that he just blew his sale by treating my kid like sh**. So off to the next store. We find a couch and loveseat that we love. The color however is not in stock. GGGRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! I did however find some really nice dining room furniture at that store so we got that. So then at the next store we found the couch and loveseat we wanted. Also got a matching chair, chaise type thing and ottoman all to match. Matching end tables and an ET center. We go to head home and the truck, Ryans starts acting up, Now we are an hour and a half from home. I call my dad, he has my jeep. He is out in the middle of nowhere in a tractor cutting hay. I call my brother, he is not answering, call dad back. Dad is on his way but it will be awhile. Kids start fighting, I have to pee, no gas station anywhere to be seen. My mom calls, wants to know when we will be home cause she has my dogs. I tell her I didn't know and she gives me attitude. THEN........My son gets sick. Throws up all over the place. WONDERFUL!!!!! Dad showed up 2 hours later. We get the trailer changed over to the jeep, lock the truck up, call a tow truck, my brother then shows up, so I get in his truck and let him drive the truck and trailer. It takes me 3 hours to get home cause my kid has to throw up ever 5 min. We get home and he feels fine. Wants to go play in the pool. We think he had food poisoning cause he is the only one that ate at McDonalds. Poor baby. We unloaded everything and it looks GREAT!!!!! So there is my wonderful day!!! |

| Ain't life grand! It's days like yours that let you know you are loved! Just think of how bored and lonely if you'd been by yourself! Good thing you didn't take the doggies - although Recon might have come in handy!

| Oh god! Have I ever had more than one of those days. YOur nerves just get shot! My kids love to go shopping, especially furniture shopping. I hate it because when two little boys are having too much fun, it gets embarassing. |

| I'm sorry, I know you were really frustrated and exasperated, but I was cracking up reading that story. Now that would make some good reality television that we could all relate to!! I have definately had one of those days before (more than once)! It's nice to know I'm not the only one! I
