Cary Bishop's Day Off

Interesting day, to say the least. The day started normal and boring. Coffee, breakfast, facebook. I usually do all those things at once. I decided I should start cleaning up and putting things together because we're moving at the end of this week.

By my third load of laundry I was feeling anxious, bored. Cary is working nights now so I decided he needed to be ambushed to relieve my boredom. Like any loving, caring wife I walked into the bedroom quietly. And I body slammed him. One of the many things that I love about my husband is that he's not stupid, he was actually ready for me and countered my attack. After our morning wrestling session (get your head out of the gutter) I got the kids ready to go out for the day.

We wanted to say hi to Grandma, and since she is a door greeter at Wal-Mart that's were we headed. As soon as we got in the car Evelyn fell asleep. When we pulled up to Wal-Mart, Cary decided to just run in the store since the baby was still asleep. After waiting, for it seemed like, forever I got in the driver seat to drive around the parking. I got to the second set of doors and I heard a blood curtailing scream and saw this kid (I say kid, but he was probley 20ish) running with a purse. At first I thought it was a couple of kids goofing around and decided it wasn't my business. Until the kid ran around the store to the back. I was on high alert and punched the gas to catch up to him. I was up next to him and I was going to open my door, Starkey and Hutch style but he turned a different direction. I actually thought of hitting him with my car, but remembered that hitting a person with your car is sort of illegal... He put his hands up like he was about to give up. I said "Give the the purse or go to jail, your choice" and I swear he was about to throw the purse and jet but instead she took off WITH the purse. DAMMIT! I couldn't get to him, he was gone. I dwelled on it for the rest of the day.

Cary told me how stupid I was for going after the guy, but I could tell he liked his little pit bull of a wife. He drove around until I was able to calm down, he even drove behind all the stores so I would feel like I did something. I knew Cary knew the guy was long gone but I loved how he humored me.

We ended up at Eldon Lion Park to talk a stroll, get the kids out in the sun. Did you know that the squirrels in that park will come up to you? It was the strangest thing. Jaxson would get behind the little animals and scare them. The squirrels must have gotten together because they started chasing him, and then Cary. There is nothing in this world funnier than a 6'4" man running from squirrels.
