Yes, It Happened At Wal-Mart

Time just seems to rush by, more so in the month of May since it seems to be non-stop for us year after year. It is just such a busy time. So, here we are with a rather busy weekend. We had Joey's birthday party on Saturday and then switched gears so we could have Jesse's graduation party on Sunday.


This switched involved a fast trip to Costco and then hopefully fast trip (haha) to Wal-Mart. Now mind you, this was at 6PM on a Saturday night...no such thing as fast. McClain had the check list and he was crossing things off as we put them in the cart. It was going really well...that should have been our first warning...LOL.

As we were pushing through, the twelve pack of Lemon Lime soda fell off the cart and broke open.  No big problem really, we just gathered them back up and I put the box in the cart. being extra careful.

Merrill and LisaMarie were gathering up the last of what we needed and we all met up at the check out. Now, you have to really think about this as you read it...:o) We were all unloading. The check out lanes were crowed as can only happen in Walmart. The checker is ringing up things. McClain bends over and unloads the very last 12 pack of root beer in the store...HIS 12 pack of root beer. As he lifts it up almost to the conveyor belt, the box just falls apart. The cans go everywhere. But the absolute best part, the funniest part is three of those little cans burst open and just started spewing root beer everywhere. I am talking on the next cashier, the candy bars, the items that they want you to buy as you are checking out. McClain is trying to stop it, I am laughing and feeling bad all at once.

McClain is nearly in tears saying this is the worst thing that has ever happened to him in his entire life. Our cashier is rather mad but she keeps trying to ring us out. Root beer is dripping on everything. It was a total mess. The poor lady who had to clean it up did not even know where to start. She also did not look to happy with us or the mess we had just created.

The family behind us is laughing. The teenage girl states that this exact same thing happened with her twin brothers who by the way are 8 years old also. She tell us where it happened in the clothing aisle. It did little to help McClain but it made Merrill and I feel a little better while standing in root beer.

So there you have it. It really did happen at Wal-Mart.

Poor McClain! I can just see him being sooo upset. But really sissy, you should be a story teller. You make so many things come to life. I feel as if I am there with you. [wish I were] Love to all. Tammy

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho...

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

FACING REALITY...and it is HARD

I am sitting here and wanting to write in our blog, but I feel that this post will be such a downer really. It is about intense feelings and sometimes feelings that are this intense are better left unsaid. Still, I want to say it, write it, get it all out. I miss my Daddy. I really just plain miss my Daddy. My Mom has been gone for over 21 years now and I did not think I could go on when she died. I mean she was my Mom for crying out loud. She taught me so very much. She taught me how to loose a child and survive it. Still she never lost a parent, while she was alive. When she died, I still had my daddy. I guess that is what made it all okay in the long run. Now, he is gone too. I miss him. I miss telling him things, both good and bad. I miss talking to him about the Holidays and about life in general. I miss trying to figure out what I was going to give him for Christmas, His Birthday and Father's day. I miss his laughter and how he was always joking around. I miss how he answered...
