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!!!
