I was headed out of walmart with my dad, just pushing our cart when some people came running through the automatic doors.  A worker there said something was going on out side.  I had seen enough giant lizard attacks sity movies to know to just turn around and get more info before I headed out.  Then "it" just came to me.  "It" turned out to be friction between two women:  one tall slender wearing a shirt that said "THIS belongs to Jesus" and holding a baseball bat, the other a little heavier with no shoes, missing and earring and a baby in her hand.  Anywho, the action was headed toward me and my dad just stood there to see what was going on.  I just moved away-inside walmart.  And then they went outside again.  My dad, trying to be the peacemaker, calmed down the woman with a baseball bat before she decided to burst the other woman's car windows.  I was inside and I thought things calmed down because the yelling and cursing stopped a while ago so I went outside and saw my dad and pushed the cart quickly over...but then I turned a corner and saw he was still calming her down while more walmart employees watched and called the coppers.  I waited.  I was really close.  After a while I decided to wait inside again, but I couldn't get the baseket through the crowd of people so I left it two feet away from my dad-he was with it.

What would you do if you were in my position-your dad in with the action or wait inside with other shoppers after things are over?

I asked my dad this question and he just said "It doesn't matter-stay with the groceries".

Saturdays are our family days at my house.  Yesterday I wanted a baked patatoe for dinner, so we headed out to Walmart.  After we had all we needed, grabbed a bunch of stuff we didn't need and were about to pay for it all when we realized my mother's purse was gone. 

Someome stole it.

So we walked around searching, looking in other's baskets, talking to workers and departments until our legs hurt.  We just decided to leave because it was too late.  Outside it was storming really bad.  We searched for our red minivan until we realized it was gone.

the purse had keys to the van-with a remote.  Whoever it was has my mother's social security number, keys to our house, our address is somewhere in the van, money, everything but her cell phone.

I never thought it would happen to us.  My family was stuck at Walmart and we had to bum a rie off of a family friend from church, Decan Davis. 

Of course we contacted the cops, the credit card companies and insurance peoples.  Want to know something weird? I had a deja vu of being in the Millington police's office.  I had seen it all in a dream. 

Some family day.  And all that becuase I was out of my fancy facial cleanser and wanted baked patatoes.

Today is Mothers' Day!  That is something good.  And at my church we celebrate it as women's day-so all young women and moms got presents and "Bless you"s.  That was cool.  The weird thing here was that Antonio asked my mom to go to a Mothers' Day concert with him and he'd pay. 

Antonio is a kid that goes to my school and he is a church member.  And awfully friendly, might I add.

So currently, my mom is watching First Sunday (rolling eyes) with my niece in the living room.  I'm here and being grateful for the stuff that guy didn't take-he could have had my house, you know.  Thank God.

I've taken up a lot of crafts, like making purses.  Some friends saw mine and want me to make them one.  I'd show you, but Vox isn't accepting these pictures.

I've also taken up knitting just a few hours ago.  I'd better continue-it's a fun hobby.  Confusing, though when all you have are youtube videos to instruct you, but I got the hang of it and I never thought I'd be a fast learner.

Oh and I found an article that would describe what I'm feeling about religion right now:  Cosmo May 2008 it's called "religion by design" Here's the closest thing I found- http://jezebel.com/384817/cosmo-girl-choosing-a-religion-is-just-like-choosing-a-myspace-wallpaper
