Had a very quick morning at the store, which is both good and bad. Bad in that I love it there, love being around other adults and friends and such. Good in that there wasn't much time for my kids to destroy the place.
After work we hightailed it up to Costco. Along the way there some jackass in a big old Suburban driving like a jackass in a big old Suburban started playing games with me. Dude, do NOT play games with me on the road because I will kick your ass. I don't care that you're a big black guy. I do not take kindly to your trying to squeeze into my lane when you know DAMN well there's no room for you. I don't even care that you're kind enough to signal. But DON'T try to weasel your way into my lane and try to run me off the shoulder when I am doing close to 80 mph. Uh-uh, ain't gonna happen. The guy was pissed at me, probably because he did not expect for a woman to NOT get out of his way. He tried over and over to either cut me off or get ahead of me and I did not let it happen. He's the one that made the poor choice to be in the lane he was in when he was in it. Just because he's driving a huge vehicle doesn't give him the right to cut in whenever he wants. Bastard. He probably took my license plate humber and called the cops on me lol. Or he'll find out where I live and burn my house down. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, really.
So we made it to Costco, got the price adjustment we went there for, got some hot dogs with the money they gave us and then headed over to DSW where I had a pair of shoes on hold. I was really hoping to find yet ANOTHER pair of black leather cork wedges but they're all going bye-bye to make room for Fall boots. So I ended up with a pair of black Naturalizers which I just love. Taylor was excited as I bought her a pair of sparkly black faux Converse. Then we went next door to Old Navy so I could find some t-shirts for myself. I do not wear t-shirts unless they are 3/4 length sleeves. The only time I wear a "normal" t-shirt is if I'm sleeping in it or slumming it at home. I have this funky thing happening on my upper arms that my dermatologist says will never go away so I hate baring my arms. I was very disappointed in their selection of anything I would consider so I ended up buying stuff for the kids. Sigh.
On the way home we stopped at a little roadside farmer's stand that Molly had told me about. The kids wanted to see the huge cow and the goats. There were some nice plants that I wanted to buy but the lady working there said the ones I wanted were mostly at the end of their season and wouldn't transfer well to being indoors. So we left.
We spent part of the afternoon with some friends from work down at the 4H farm fair looking at all the beautiful farm animals. I'm so happy that my kids can appreciate stuff like this. After I took them to the pool and let them play for a couple hours.
Before they went to bed I read a chapter from Little House on the Prairie. We're really enjoying it. I don't think Emma & Zoe are quite there yet but they seem to like listening to me read. I told Taylor when we finish the book we'll borrow the others from the library and I'll continue reading to her.
