I had to go to the bathroom really bad so I rushed to the front of the store.  (I was waaaay in the back…why is it most Wal Mart bathrooms are at the very front of the store?)  I barely made it…thank God the Women’s side wasn’t being cleaned and roped off.  I raced in and thought ‘hey, they’ve taken out all the stalls.  I don’t remember it looking like this’.  I heard a person wrestle with a toilet seat cover and noticed urinals and then it hit me.  I raced out going 100 mph.  A girl of about ten who was getting a drink at the water fountain said

 “I saw you go in the Men’s room and was gonna say something but…”

“But…why didn’t you?” I asked all red and flustered and smiling.

“I was laughing too hard.”

What a precious little girl…  Oh well, I guess I probably would have done the same thing at that age.  Oy me.

So began my morning of fun.  As if Wally World isn’t ‘the funnest (not a word, but remember I was flustered) (and happiest)’ place on earth.

Our pool is drained and we’re ready to refill it.  Well, the Mr. just said we are refilling it as I type. We didn’t have to do the acid bath.  We pressure cleaned it and it came out really nice.  We did initially have some backwash problems (green algae came out) but got it taken care of.  And we will need a new pump.  Oh well, that’s what happens when you have a hole in the ground in your backyard you throw $$$ into.  It will be great to be able to swim on the 4^th.  We’re staying home and babysitting dogs.  My oldest daughter has been invited to go to the lake with her boyfriend’s family and their place just cannot accommodate 2 big hounds so we said we’d watch them.  My little Maddie loves them but my little Baylee HATES (is afraid of) them so they can stay outside most of the time.  There is plenty of shade and a friend gave me a huge water dispenser for animals so they will be all set.  And it's only for one day.

Target had tons of shoes on sale.  My youngest and I had fun trying them all on.  We came out with six pair…three for her and three for me.  The cashier charged us for seven pairs but as we were sitting in Starbucks (in Target) getting an iced coffee (I got a coupon for a free one in the Sunday paper) I noticed the mistake.  No problem…they took care of it right in the Starbucks shop.  So, my day did get better…even if it started out in the toilet.
