Alarm Will Sound If Door Is Opened

I thought it would be a good idea if Trevor and I took the kids to Walmart and let them look through the toy section and give us a few ideas of things that they would like for Christmas. I know many of you are already done Christmas shopping or at the very least know what it is you are getting, but not me. I also needed to get a few things since I had not been to the grocery store since except for getting my dinner group stuff on Monday since before my trip to Minnesota probably two weeks ago. I needed window locks because Carter and McKinley have figured out how to open the windows, which is fine, but then Jackson falls out of them so I need to monitor it. Did you know that Walmart does not sell window locks? We were in the hardware section and Carter ran over and pushed the DO NOT OPEN door and this super loud alarm sounds. He was totally scared out of his mind. Good thing his heart is fixed otherwise he probably would have had a heart attack. He comes running back and hides behind me. The guy that works in that section came over and was very nice and explained that they don't sell window locks and it was no problem about the door, Carter was not the first to do it, but that he does not have the key to stop the alarm and has to find a manager. I dont know why a manager didnt come running, you could hear it through the WHOLE store. It probably went off for 10 minutes. I swear sometimes I feel like such a circus when we are out.

Now that I think of it, this was all probably carma. I was out to lunch today with some friends after watching Twilight again and we saw this lady and her three kids in this nice restaraunt for lunch. I mentioned that I would never attempt that alone. I would do it with Trevor's help because my kids are getting better in public and with his help it would not be too bad. I guess I was just being told, Don't rush out with these guys just yet.

Hello?!? Hello?!? I guess I have to dust this blog off a bit. I konw it has been ages since I last wrote and really life has just been busy and I got away from my computer a bit. Now that the election and my morning period is over, I suppose I can get back to blogging. And what better way than to do something totally silly. To start off, Kelly (sister) and I go out and walk three miles everynight. We had just started our walk last night and were discussing how we were sorry that we didnt get tickets to Twilight for the midnight showing last night. We had not gone but a few houses when I see my friend Amy Goodman at her sister-in-laws house and I know they are going to Twilight and we stop and talk to them for a minute. They say if we can get two more tickets we will call you. This is at 9:00. We finish our walk and 10 and I go home and watch the news and the Office. At 11:00, Amy calls and says that she has two tickets and two seats come right over. So, I call Kelly and we go and watch it with a bunch of teenage girls and moms. It was really fun. The movie was decent, but if you hadn't read the book, it was probably lame. I ran into an old friend from sorority days, Kylie Brinton Glover and was able to catch up with her a bit. She shared her popcorn with me and our tickets ended up being free, so it was an all around good night. I am not so sure how today will go. I did go out and walk 2 1/2 miles this morning and I was supposed to go visiting teaching, but she cancelled. Hopefully, all of the stars will align and I can get just a little nap in this afternoon.
