Seriously?!!!

I just wanted to tell you about how my morning went, and it's only 10:25.

First, I dropped Bryan off at work just after 8:30. I meant to get out of the house 10 minutes sooner, but I'm finding it more and more difficult to be punctual with two kids. Basically, I need to get up earlier, and I'm very aware of that.

Then I drove over to Costco to buy supplies and food for the Primary Activity tomorrow. Did you know they don't even open until 10:00??? Seriously?!!!

So I went to Wal-mart instead, because it's close to Costco, it's open 24 hours a day, and it's cheap. Since it was fairly early in the morning, I found a very close parking spot. It was the first one on the row, but I had to drive against the arrow to get it. I'm not sure if that's legal, or if anyone even cares that early in the morning. No cars were coming, and I safely pulled into the spot. Score! I didn't have to haul two kids very far to get into the store. As I got out of the car and started opening the door for the kids to get out, a very large lady walked past me, muttered "Stupid!" and glared at me. I said, "Excuse me?" but she kept walking. All I can figure is that she thought I stole her spot, which was really only two cars closer than the next available spot. She had to walk an extra 14 feet, poor thing, on those overly taxed knees. Seriously?!!!! And there's no way she missed the fact that I had two small children and am very pregnant. Well, after all is said and done, I feel sad for anyone who gets that upset over something that small. She must be a very sad, angry person. It would be very sad to be that sad and angry all the time.

I went to the post office next. Last time I sent stuff from the post office, I used the flat rate boxes, and probably spent more money than I needed to. So this time, thinking I'd save myself the hassle of boxing stuff up at the post office with two ornery children, and thinking I'd save myself a chunk of cash, I boxed up my own stuff and had it all ready to go. All I'd need to do is pay for it and go. No. No? It actually cost half the price to put it in a flat rate box this time. So with two ornery children fighting, getting into things, and screaming, I unpacked the first box, repacked the second box, intermittent with breaking up fights and telling my kids to "Stop!" about 5 times. Seriously?!!! Does anyone know the Post Office rates so I can save myself this hassle next time? Errrgh.

Then I decided to take all the food for the Primary Activity over to the church so that I didn't have to hassle with unloading it at home, and reloading and unloading it again tomorrow. So after making four trips, I noticed that there were people in the room next to the kitchen. Did they come out and help me carry stuff in? No. Did they even hold the door open for me? No. Seriously?!!! If they were in a meeting, I'd understand. But they weren't!

Finally, I came home. I accomplished everything on my to do list for this morning, ran into a bump every step of the way, and I'm exhausted. Seriously.
