costco

i am so frustrated with costco. i went there yesterday and my costco has stopped carrying most of the things i go there for. all i wanted was some eggs,pace salsa, dyno nuggets and chips. unfortunately the only thing i walked away with was eggs. they even stopped carrying their kirkland brand monster bag of tortilla chips. i even asked about them and they said they had been taken out of their system. needless to say, i was highly annoyed that i dragged three children to costco to buy eggs.

the saving grace of the trip was that they were having some special event and were giving cake to everyone. i got jack and lily (and of course myself and ashy) each a piece and put them in the back of the cart to eat it. immediately jackson spills it into the basket. i quickly picked it up and put it back on the plate but before i could clean the cart, lily sits in it. normally this would add to my frustration but jackson thought it was so funny that i couldn't help but laugh. i love it when children really get why something is funny. sometimes i think kids laugh at things but they don't really understand why. it is so amazing when they actually get it you can almost see it click and the laugh is so much more genuine. well we got a good, long laugh and it made the trip much better.

Seriously-I'd be soo mad. I would by myself something I really wanted but didn't need to make myself feel better. Especially if I had the kids...which lets face it, never happens.

I HATE that!! Have you tried the pancake shooters? They look like whip cream cans but it'd filled with pancake batter. It rules!! But I put it in my hot chocolate once
