Typical Day

So...the little cowboys needed baseball gear.....no problem right - just go shopping. Here is a typical day for me. We head out - keep in mind we must drive 45 minutes just to get to a sporting goods store. We get there - great sale going on.....I love bargains. No problems yet...then it starts. We saw a killer deal on golf clubs. Call big cowboy he says nab the deal, added extra expense - but a great bargain still. Bring on the cleats.....11 yr old cowboy finds 3 different type - the sales guys walk by like 5 times before anyone even tries to remotely hear me or even look at me - as I am saying we need a 10 or 11....stayed calm no biggie...kind of expect it even. After like 9 different pairs tried on we find a pair - bit spendy but when you need them you need them. Then we finally get all the little cowboy's their stuff (thank goodness by red-headed friend was with this time) I go to check out...pick the shortest line - 1 person in front of me - easy right - well checker decides to leave for a second (remain calm) and in fact it turned out to be a quick visit to the back room and right back....then she scans all the items....some troubles with gloves but all in all pretty easy - then the card....It literally took like 15 minutes of waiting for the register - call to the manager then 20 minutes total - checked out....in the meantime big cowboy calls - 11 yr. old cowboy's best friend is in town for the day - hurry home to see him....so we decide quick trip to look for a new spotlight then fast food....no spotlights - onto the fast food.....very busy at the place we pick - so we go inside instead of drive. Not a long line - place order - the Lil' cowboys ordered shakes =-) got those - then the wait.....we waited and waited.....RHF gets her order so we wait by the counter....only 3 of us it shouldn't be long....waitress - are you waiting for something.....yep - needless to say 45 minutes later - we get the food - $7 discount - extra chick strips and an extra burger. I maintained the calmed -=/ and told the Lil cowboys how this type of experience builds character.....and what character I have - this is not a stand out day....this type of thing always happened - why do I leave the house. Thanks RHF - loved your help today - ride home - 9 yr old cowboy - freaks out over a kinds of things - and needs to go P (#2) - I told him to pick a cactus and have fun - he decided to make the 45 min drive home. Arrived home - friends had already left to go back home....7 yr. old cowboy freaks out that his cleats aren't fancy, cool or any of the words he told us to look for.....he should have come too.......What fun things did you do today?
