ONCE AGAIN...IT HAPPENED AT WALMART!!!

I love Walmart. Really, I do love Walmart. When I go there it seems like I know more people than I don't know. The cashiers asked me about the kids when they are not with me and when they are, they know a lot of their names. It is just like an extension of our family. Merrill and I talked about how much easier our life would be if he just has direct deposit to Walmart. When McClain was little, he always said he wished his bedroom was Walmart. You see, we really do love Walmart.

So, that brings me to today. Joey and I had had a really long day. We left the house at 8:30 am with the entire family. We did a few bigger things with everyone like speech and OT, then Mordachi's birthday partly at Roundtable....which by the way was a ton of fun with family and friends. Then Joey and I had to go our own way. Off to Reno we went. Counseling, shopping, gas and last but not least the Walmart run through. We were doing great. We were going fast. It was all good.

Then it hit me....I had to go to the bathroom so bad. My kidneys were on overload. Would I make it or would I go home wet and humiliated?? We rushed into line. I saw the restrooms at the from of the store. We were close enough....I could leave Joey to unload the cart if I hurried. I gave him instruction. The First Lady in line was nearly all checked out. The next lady had all of her stuff on the full conveyor belt. Once her stuff started moving, Joey was to start unloading ours. I would be with back.

I was doing the rather fast potty dance walk. I made it through the curved entry....it was all open. I opened the first stall....gross. Into the handicap stall I went. Dirty, but need over rode cleanliness. It had to be. As I took care of my mission I thought to myself how stupid that the Reno Walmart's only have two stalls for women. I was done, cleaned up and so thankful for the auto flush. Now just a fast wash of my hands and back to Joey.

I rushed to opened the door, walking rather fast....when what to my wondering eyes did appear.....heck no it was not a miniature sled and eight tiny reindeer....but the backside of a man using a urinal. How on earth did this happen....how on earth did a man get in the women's restroom.....oh my....heaven help me....in my urgent need, I never stopped to noticed that the restroom in the Reno Walmart was backward to the Carson City Walmart. Needless to say, no hands were washed. I walked faster and prayed no one saw me. I exited and died a million deaths inside as I kept a smile on my face and acted like nothing wrong had taken place. 

Now, I can laugh.....but then no. I wonder if I need to find a new favorite store, or just hold my head high. 

Have I mentioned just how much I love Walmart!!!

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...

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state..

JUNE 30, 1978

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...
