Big Boy

Look how big our baby is! He's just so big! It's amazing how much he has grown up in just five short months (almost six). Oh, and might I add, freakin' adorable?! I'll quote Diego from the other night, "That baby is sooo cute it kills me."

Good ol' Walmart.

My sister, Crystal, hates Walmart. I, on the other hand, think it's okay. I won't say I love it, because no I don't. But I'm not ashamed to say that I do my weekly grocery shopping there. We really do save a lot of money. Aside from saving money, I know Walmart can have it's bad sides too. Such as a smaller selection of good produce, large crowds, and an occassional semi-creepy employee or two. I do believe I've given Crystal another reason to hate Walmart. Now, I take a lot of responsibility in what happened today. A lot. Well, let me tell you the story.

My parents are coming to visit next week, so I decided to go to Walmart today to pick up some extra food because I most likely won't go grocery shopping while they're here. I got all my stuff and waited in an extra long line to check out (yet another reason...). I went through the motions, got all my food bagged and back into the cart when I realized that I left my debit card at home! That's my fault. One hundred percent my fault. So I sheepishly explained my situation to the cashier and asked if they could hold my cart so I could run home and get some money. The lady was super nice. She said my cart would be waiting in customer service for me and I could just run in and pay when I got back. I zoomed home, thinking about the vanilla ice cream I left sitting in that cart hoping it wouldn't melt. Well, I did get back only to find a huge line flowing outside of customer service. So, I went to the back of the line and waited, and waited, and waited... Finally, I got to the desk and tried to pay. BUT, somebody had taken all the cold stuff out of my cart and put it all away! Up until that point, it really was my fault. But it was sooo they're fault for putting half of my groceries away! Seriously, it was about half. I just took the cart and pretty much started grocery shopping all over again. And they didn't only put the cold stuff away. They put all the produce away as well. Awesome. At least the ice cream didn't melt, right? It was just a long stupid ordeal. I'm happy to be home and I'll probably back at Walmart in a few days for something else. It's just like the slogan says, "The High Cost of Low Price."

Oh my word...

Like my new background everyone? Well ladies and gents', I paid a pretty high price for it. As you can see, I deleted my whole blog list! That's right, the entire thing. Don't be offended if your name's not listed anymore. Nobody's is! I can pretty much remember everyone on my list and my blog should be back to normal by tonight. But, if you happen to read this post today, be a pal and send me a comment. That will make things a little easier for me. I'm such an idiot! I'm so mad at myself right now. You have no idea. And no, this isn't the first time I've ever done this.

sick sick sick.

That's what I am today. Diego even offered to stay home and take care of the baby so I could get some rest. I told him I was okay. Why did I say that? I have to say, taking care of an energetic five-month old baby that refuses to nap while I'm sick... not my cup o' tea (or hot chocolate, or any other hot beverage that I do actually drink). Oh and when that baby wakes up at 3:00 in the morning, not so fun either. Bleh...

Sorry, little guy. You may spend a lot of time rolling around on the floor with your toys, jumping in your jumperoo, or sitting in your swing. Mommy needs some rest.
