Adventures at Walmart

Today I went to Walmart.  I found fabric for a Christmas Tree skirt! It was difficult to find someone to cut the fabric. Two older ladies decided that I should just pick up the phone and call for help.  I really didn't want to try paging someone from the "house phone".   Finally someone walked by and I asked them if they could find someone to cut the fabric.  They told me the bell keeps getting stolen from the fabric department!

 I also found some yarn to start a crochet project.  This will force me to sit quietly for a time and hopefully will be something that I can work on while I wait for my nurse evaluation each Thursday.  (I pray I don't have to wait an 1 1/2 hrs to see the nurse this week!)  While I was at Walmart a girl was staring at me.  She was obviously school aged, but I didn't recognize her.  I don't know if she recognized me or was just interested in my purchasing habits.  Either way, I wanted to play truancy officer and ask her why she wasn't in school!  Maybe that should be my new part time job, patrolling Walmart for truant children.  Maybe not.

We had acorn squash for supper.  I cut it in half, put oil on a cookie sheet, and placed cut sides down.  I wasn't going to let anything explode tonight.  Will acted like I was feeding him poison, even though he has eaten squash in the past.  Ted loved it!  I didn't love cleaning up the floor under his high chair, but oh well...

At bath time Will told me about a boy at school.  Will is worried about this boy.  I told him that he should be nice to this boy and we will say an extra prayer for him.  It is truly the little things that people do that make life better.
