Finally Something Good at Wal Mart

So everyone has always heard people talk about how horrible Wal Mart is and that if they ever had the money they would never shop there again.  Well count my husband in as one of those people in his words Wal Mart is the 7th level of hell!  Well tonight we had to go to Wal Mart to get the monster diapers and we were none thrilled about it but before we left we finally saw something good at Wal Mart.  No its wasn't one of those crazy people you see on PeopleofWalMart.com or a great deal it was just an awesome deed.  As we were getting ready to check out we walked down to the end to the 20 items of less lane and waited because there was a couple in front of us.  As this couple was checking out a woman came up behind them and swiped her credit card....Strange right except it wasn't it was awesome

 You see the couple standing in front of us was a US Solider and his wife and from what I could hear from their conversation he had either just got back from Iraq for good or on leave.  So standing there I watch as this lady swipes her credit card and when the wife of the soldier tells her that the groceries were their the lady just looks at them and says I know its my treat Thank you for fighting for me and my country, I wish I could do more but at least I can do this for now.  We all just stood there in silence until the solider said you don't have to do that I don't deserve anything special.  At this the lady just smiled signed her name on the screen for the purchase and walked away.  I looked at the solider and told him no you deserve so much more!!

As soon as we got out of Wal Mart I had to call my mom because we are always telling each other our awesome stories and her answer was "Sometimes you get to see angels at work and sometimes you don't...today you got to see an angel at work!"  It was an awesome thing what I saw tonight and I hope that someday I can do something simple like that until then I just want to say thank you to all that have and are currently serving our country and to their families!!!  Next time you see someone in uniform or in a veterans hat what will you do or say???

No Sleep

Well today has not started out on the best foot that is for sure.  Last night we went out with a work friend of Chet's and his wife and then went to their house for a while.  It was so much fun to get out and actually do something besides going to Wal Mart.  While we were at their house we got to meet the wife's mother who has had some horrible things happen to her in the past year and it was so amazing to sit down and talk to her because she never one was negative about it or wondered why me.  I realized that I should be more like that and not so whiny!! 

Well as the title says No Sleep that would be because we got home last night at about 10:30 and Carder crashed and I was so tired so we went to bed and what did I do.... I laid there until 1:50 watching the clock and would have laid there longer I'm sure but Carder woke up so I had to take care of him.  So we went in the living room had some milk and he went back to sleep.  My turn now right.... I wish I sat there was could not go to sleep for anything.  I think I finally feel asleep at about 4:30 only to hear Chet's alarms go off at 5:00.  I finally got back to sleep at about 6:30 and Carder was ready to start his day at 8:00 so not much sleep for me. Oh well I shall survive!!

Today's mission- Clean the house, wash laundry, lay out clothes to pack ( Chet's family is coming to his grandma's from Iowa and we are going to see our Godson and Carder's Godparents)  Get a present bought and at some point in time get Carder to take a nap so I can have one.  Until then I guess I should quit rambling and get started on my list of jobs.

Typical Tuesday Night

Well it seems like forever since I have wrote on here so I figured I better write something.  What you ask.....I have no clue! Today has been one of those days where you wake up and wonder did I get stuck in that horrible movie Groundhogs Day.  Everything that I did today was like deja vu.  Carder and I spent most of our morning on the floor playing and watching Mickey Mouse.  We then had lunch with Chet and went to Wal Mart to grab a few things then home to fix supper.  What does a 13 month old cook for supper you ask.....Baked Spaghetti and Homemade bread.  Actually I did most of the cooking while he just yelled orders in his oh so cute child language.  Once we sat down for supper I realize he must have been happy with the cook when he ate an entire adult size portion of the spaghetti and a large piece of homemade bread.  Now I sit here writing about my typical tuesday night while Carder soaks in a bubble bath ( dont worry I'm watching him) and Chet is out buying lottery tickets for the big draw tonight.  Who knows maybe before the night is up it wont be a typical tuesday night but for now I'm perfectly happy sitting in my warm cozy half way cleaned house watching my little boy play with his bubbles in the bath tub. I have to admit it may not be a glamorous life but its my life and I wouldn't have it any other way!
