Saf and I went out for our daily errands after our daily dip in the pool, just as happy go lucky as we could be even thought it was 133 degrees outside here in "fabulous las vegas". So we pull into Smiths and I spot a game store a few dorrs down and decide it would be fun to get her a game for the DS since she's been showing interest in it. We park over by the game store, find a few games, walk one door toward Smiths and go in a little clothing shop and find a few good buys. Then we proceed to walk to Smiths because we aren't fat and lazy, do our shopping successfully, get a few treats, and are happily pushing the loaded cart accross the parking lot to the Truck. When all of a sudden with a huge jerk that scared the crap out of Safi the cart comes to a dead stop.
"What the?" i say under my breath examining the wheels, pushing and pulling more and more frantically since im kinda in the middle of the road.
As I try to pull over as much as I can to the side I figure "ok," as I pick up Safi and my purse, "we'll just go over here and get this other one and transfer the groceries and be on our way" Trying to hurry cuz my groceries are abandon, I'm starting to get really hot and wasn't too irritated until the 2nd...and 3rd cart i tried had the same problem!
"WTF!"
So I go back over to the groceries and some dude yells out his window, "you crossed the red line!"
"whatever" I said with a smile. but he was right as he pointed out the sign on the cart!
1st of all how the hell do you even make such a system? 2nd, obviously we all know why they would do it b/c people push the carts home, etc but 3rd, this represents so many things that have gone array with our society. The boundary, the color red(sign says yellow but its red), your forward motion being stopped, the acceptance of it all, etc. I wont go on.
Well, abandoning the groceries again we go get the truck, stop in the middle of the road, hoping someone has the balls to say something nasty to me so I can have a target for my frustration, and load the groceries in.
Then...
"Where's my sunglasses mama?"
(eye roll - seriously! These are special sunglasses i just bought her a day or 2 ago b/c they match Leahs)
So we double back to go look in the stores we were in before Smiths. Truck full of groceries I can't leave Saf in the car b/c 1. too hot to leave her in there and lock doors, and 2. can't lock her in there with the air on b/c she isnt old enough to open back up for you. Not that its a good idea to leave her in there either way, but im just sayin'. So of course we find them in the second store.
Oh my, what a day :)
