So we survived Wal-Mart yesterday! It actually wasn't too bad. I put Kellsey in the seat of the cart and Keeghan in the back. (And he of course loudly protested that HE wanted the seat until I told him that HE is a big boy and only big boys get to sit in the back. Luckily for me, he bought that. This time.) Then I ran into my friend Angela with her two kids so we stood there for a minute with our 7 kids talking about the fact that we're crazy for being in Wal-Mart and all the junk food we were going to buy but probably shouldn't! HA!
Then Kennedy decided that SHE wanted in the back of the cart with Keeghan so my shopping list got cut in half... because how was I going to fit everything in the cart with 2 kids back there?? Hmmm... Then Angela suggested Kassidy push a cart too, which Kass was
very excited about, so she grabbed a cart and our shopping trip began. Less than $100 and 3 kinds of cereal later, we were out of there (and I
almost forgot the milk which was the REAL reason we were going... but you know,
whatever!). The kids were 99% good. No crying, and the only "I wants" I heard were for lunchables... and well, guess what they're having for lunch today?! LOL
We stopped by Subway on the way out the door and the kids got lunch and we made our way home. YAY for an uneventful trip! I wasn't nervous about it
at all. Nope, not me!
So last night, I was sitting here chatting with a friend on my computer, when my mom sent me a text message letting me know she was safely in Las Vegas (she's there visiting with my brother and his girlfriend for the week) when my iPhone just
shut down. The screen went to black and the little apple popped up. I thought, "Hmm.. that's strange." So I tried to restart. Nothing. I started to get a little anxious. I mean, any other time I would hand my phone to Frank and say,
"Fix it!" But now... it was late, and our only other friend who KNOWS iPhones wasn't online, and I couldn't call anyone because, well... it's my only phone! LOL I kept trying to restart it and it kept shutting down. It was on the charger, so it
couldn't have been that. I just kept thinking, "I NEED my phone!"
Finally, I thought, "OK I can figure this out." So, I unplugged my phone and just on a whim, plugged Keeghan's iPod in... and it didn't start charging! WHAT?! So I took the battery out of my camera and plugged that in to the same plug. Nothing. I walked over and turned on the light that's connected to the same power bar... nothing. THAT'S when I figure it out.
Someone, and I'm NOT mentioning any names but it starts with a K and has 7 letters and they're under the age of 6, turned off the power bar that was charging my phone. GRR. So, I flipped it back on, reconnected my phone, turned it back on, and
whew. It started up. It was just
really, really dead! Freak out averted, mostly. LOL
Anyway, today we are off to Kennedy and Kellsey's Occupational and Speech Therapy and then see what else we can do to enjoy this beautiful weather! I hear it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. Yuck! Hope you all are enjoying your week!!
