Today is Hannah’s 9th birthday. She acts so old, she should be 19 instead! lol Guess it comes from having an older sister. I don’t have any sisters, older or younger, so I wouldn’t know. I’m guessing. lol We went shopping this morning, because H’s party is tomorrow, Saturday. We left home at 9:30, stopped a couple of places, book store, health food store, Hallmark for party supplies. We made it to Walmart at 11:20. My Mother treated us to lunch at McDonalds, inside Walmart. At about 10 minutes till 2, while we were in the meat aisle, the electric went out. We went ahead and finished shopping, the meat aisle, bread, and veggies. That’s the route to the registers. I’m not obsessive with my grocery route. LOL Yet. LOL Anyway, when the electric went out, this old man in the meat aisle, said, really loudly, “Guess Someone didn’t pay their electric bill!” It was really funny! lol

We met up with my Mother in the front of the store. Then the store manager walked by and was telling everyone that some guy cut down a tree, and it fell on an electric line taking it down, and taking out the electric on that side of town. And they have no idea when it will be back on. I said to my Mother, well, we might as well get in line before everyone else in the store comes up here, too.

Well, 2 HOURS later, the electric FINALLY comes on! I stayed, because it seemed more time efficient to. And it turned out to be so. The kids, and my mother lol, were very well behaved. When the lines starting moving, the women in front of me turned around and said “I justed wanted to say that those are the best behaved children I’ve ever seen”. Thank you! I whipped out the digital camera and took pics. Of course LOL Then all the kids wanted to take pics. Hey, it kept them occupied! lol We had like 100 pics on the camera! lol Most blurry, because the little kids can’t understand that you have to hold the camera perfectly still. LOL I posted some of the better ones below. Notice my overflowing cart! It’s like that EVERY week! sigh We finally made it home at a few minutes till 5. We were gone ALL day! sigh Definitely put me behind schedule! But I survived! lol
