What A Day!

It has been an exciting day. First I had to get up at the crack of dawn and take Evie to school for her field trip. It actually was not that early but I am not really a morning person so to me it was the crack of dawn at 7:10am when I pulled into the school driveway. After that I came home and got ready to take Skye to the orthodontist. Her braces wires were stabbing her to death and I think she really wanted to miss German. Larry came by to use our internet so the boys stayed home with him. What a blessing. I took Skye to the ortho at 9:00 and we sat there for what seemed like forever. There were no other patients the rooms was only half lit and seemed deserted. Finally someone came and got her and it took all of five minutes and we were off. Lucky for Skye it was just in time for her Algebra test. I went by Bi-Lo to pick up my paycheck and was saddened that I worked 52 hours last week for so little money. As punishment to those folks at Bi-Lo I went to Publix to do my grocery shopping. That is were all the fun started. Earlier that morning I had read all the problems everyone was encountering about the current promotion Publix is running. I started having anxiety that they would not accept all of my coupons and I would not have enough money. So the minute I walked through the door I went to customer service just to clarify things. They called a manager just to double check. It was good news they would take all of my Viva Italian coupons! WooHoo!!! I was thrilled. So I thanked the gal over in customer service, grabbed a few new coupons that were out and was on my way. For once everything was in stock and I quickly gathered up all of my treasures. I caught a few stares at the quantities of stuff I was purchasing. Oh well those people are the same ones paying a $1.39 for the pasta I am paying 39
