Shopping with Mommy

The girls and I headed to Wal-Mart without Daddy today, something we haven't done in a while.  As as I was helping Zoë and Abby with their harness buckles, Ms Betty said hello to us and let us know that we could get a free 5x7 photo with the easter bunny back at the photo center.  I'm up for anything free, so we headed back there and I let the girls get their picture taken before we began our shopping.  With Abby and Zoë sucking on lollipops in the cart while I shopped, we made pretty good time getting all of our groceries and then went to pick up our picture and check-out.  Before going outside into the super windy weather, I checked the items on the receipt, put it on the eggs, and helped the girls get their coats on and zipped up.  After I had Zoë and Abby all buckled in and the groceries unloaded, it was 12:20 and we were ready for lunch. 

Before I left the lot however, I realized I didn't have the receipt.  I had paid with credit card and we all know how precise Chris is with keeping records and keeping track of all purchases, so this was bad news.  I zoomed back to a parking space, ran back into the store with the girls and searched all around the check out area.  I went to our cashier and asked her if she was able to look it up on her computer but she said I'd need to talk to someone else, who happened to be walking by.  I explained things to her and she told me to meet her at the service desk.  She began trying to look it up on a computer with my credit card, along with the help of another woman, and finally they found it and printed off the receipt on some computer paper.  We got back in the car and it was now 12:45 and we were now very hungry and tired so I pulled in to Taco Bell against my better judgement and got us three bean burritos... I paid cash.
