Wakey wakey Wal-mart shoppers!

Wal-mart around here is definitely not the place you want to go, if you don't want to be seen. You are bound to run into someone or everybody you know, it's just a given fact. And although I know Wal-mart isn't the fanciest place to shop, it doesn't hurt to take a little bit of pride in what you wear. Is it too much to ask for shoppers to hide their muffin tops or at least wear actual clothes. If you wear it to bed most of the time, it's not considered outer wear! Just because you can wear it to run out quickly to take the dog out or get the mail, doesn't make it okay to shop in. Since when did Wal-mart start holding sleepovers? I know I didn't get that flyer in the mail. Seriously, I have literally seen woman shopping out in their pajamas, dirty pajamas at that! To me this is just appalling. While it may be cool if your 15 wearing pajama pants out, believe me it's not when your dragging the hubby or a load of kids. No one wants to see your nasty slippers as you make your way down the aisles. For goodness sake could you not have just taken an extra five minutes to remove the hair curlers? All I'm asking for is a little self-respect people. It's a little confusing to my children trying to shop with you.

"Look mommy that woman is wearing her pajamas, and you wouldn't even let me wear my pink boots!"

I just don't see how you aren't embarrassed by yourself! Why just the other day I was forced to take Madisen in wearing her pajamas, and I was so embarrassed! I had just picked her up from pajama day at school and had to run by wal-mart, before going home. Here she is 8 years old and begs me to ride in the buggy. Frustrated having all the kids with me I reluctantly just gave in. As I rounded one of the corners I just happened to run into an old friend (as expected). I found myself persistent on making sure she new why Madisen was dressed that way. All I could think was; I'm sure everyone in the store is assuming I have brought my germ infested sick child in to shop with me. Mothers all over the store were mumbling under their breaths "yep that's why are kids stay sick, it's mother's like her who won't stay home!" I'm telling you I could not get out of that store fast enough. All I know is the school needs to give the kids a sticker or sign to wear on those days.

Another thing seeing how I've stepped up on the soap box for today. What about the old bitties Wal-mart hires at the front of the store, does anyone know their purpose? They don't wipe down the buggies when they are wet, in fact they don't even keep paper towels on hand. From what I've seen they don't even hand you a buggy, even if they see you struggling with your hands full. Their rude and all they do is stand and hold a social club for seniors, right where you walk through the door. As far as I've seen all they do is collect a paycheck! All I know is I hope I can be so lucky as to land such a job when I'm an old hag. Hag!...lol Not even!

Because I said No! Can't we just leave it at that?

This out of all things is what Kailey picks up and brings me, in Wal-Mart today. Only what she picked up and brought had a huge picture on the front. "Mommy can we get these!? Why Not? What are they for?" Aisle full of customers, waiting to hear my explanation. That was one time I resisted just grabbing it out of her hands, and putting it back myself. Last thing I want is someone I know, to turn down the aisle and see me hold it. Then you get that look of ; sure your little girl did that, wonder what she needs those for? I guess at least she asked and didn't just throw them in the buggy, when my head was turned as usual. Imagine what a surprised look I would have had, once I got to the checkout counter if she hadn't. Then I would have been panicked as to who saw them riding through the entire store in MY buggy and what they might have thought. I'm telling you the kids, I swear...

Man found Bludgeoned to death in Local Wal-Mart

Fourth of July weekend a Wal-Mart shopper saw his own fireworks show, up close and personal. A Box boy found the man lying in the toy aisle around noon and called for help. The man was pronounced DOA when officers and Emergency services arrived on the scene. Reports indicated the man was beaten to death with a Barbie box. Investigators said All cable ties to the Barbie and accessories where no longer intact, which proved the excessive force used during the beating. After further investigation surveillance tapes relieved a blond woman in her early thirties with three small children, committed the crime. On lookers of the tapes said they have never seen such excessive violence take place so quickly. "One minute she was shopping and the next she was beating this man like a rabid mad animal. She had this look in her eyes, and I believe she was even foaming at the mouth." The man twice her size was knocked on the ground without warning. He tried to shield his face from the blows, but was deemed defenseless as she continued beating him relentless. Once the man stopped moving she gathered herself, ran him over with her cart and nonchalantly went on about her shopping. This Mother of three's name has not been released. She was eventually tracked down and taken into custody, but later released. No charges have been filed, due to the aggravated assault and attempted kidnapping the dead man was charged with. It seems the Mother like a agitated Bear was only protecting her cub, when the man grabbed her daughters arm. Law enforcement plan to use the tapes as a warning to other pedophiles in the area. It will be mandatory shown prior to any pedophiles release. What can happen when Mothers take the law into their own hands. As a result to the incident area Wal-marts in support, are considering changing their theme motto's to "Where you can Roll back your sleeves to make shopping a pleasure". (Con't on pg.18)

Okay You caught me, It's all a fake. No, I really didn't make the local headlines. But, I would have had that man not released my child's arm when he did! It's sad to know your not even safe to shop in Wal-mart!
