Why I hate Walmart!

I hate Walmart for so many reasons. Usually because I can go there for a light bulb and walk out $150 later with no light bulb, but on this particular day it was for some MUCH unneeded stress. On Wednesdays I have a group of girls come over for dinner and a bible study. Well, last Wednesday I was in charge of making salad. Having forgot my salad fixings the last time I went to Walmart (one of those $150 trips) I very quickly straightened the house and was going to "run" into Walmart and grab the things I needed. And of course you know with me and two kids there is no such thing as quickly! I was rushing Kaitlyn through the doors when she said "Mommy I need to go potty" taking a deep breath I replied "Kaitlyn are you sure?" see Kaitlyn loves to see public bathrooms, but has a fear of using the kind that automatically flush. (She's been flushed on while still seated a couple of times). When she came back with a yes, I immediately went into panic mode knowing that our time had just now been cut in half. With Brayden in the cart and Kaitlyn riding on the front we run our way to the very back of the store to use the potty. Grabbing the diaper bag, cell phone, keys and shopping cart cover for Brayden we all rushed into the bathroom not realizing until Kaitlyn says "Mommy why are the pottys so big?" that we had entered the men's room! AGHH!
With the bathroom incident behind us our shopping trip seemed to be going smoother. We made our way to the produce section. Which is where I spotted a lady who had her two kids shopping with her and they each had their own little carts. It was so cute, and thinking I could also be "that" mom I decided to let Kaitlyn pick out the tomatoes and put them in the buggy. She was so excited, a little too excited because when she put them in the basket she sort of threw them sending little cherry tomatoes rolling all the way to the bananas!
Tomatoes (luckily) were the last thing on our list and you would think the story ended there. But, nope I went to the cashier checked out and quickly walked away.....leaving my bag behind!
Needless to say that is the last time I have made a "quick" stop by Walmart with both kids. Next time I will allow plenty of time to triple check the name on the bathroom door and to explain to Kaitlyn that lids on veggie containers can come open.

Sorry I don't have a picture to go along with this blog, I didn't think to take my camera into the bathroom as well :)

Have a good weekend!
