Fuh-reaky Friday

What a day. I never understood how stay-at-home moms would say that they need a vacation. I sooooo understand it now. Had to take Sasha today to be groomed, which is such a treat trying to do by myself with the babe. Chaos, let me tell you. Sasha does not like going, so i have to pretty much drag her in. Today she was very resistant to leaving us. And, Gavin was trying to get out of the cart to play with Sasha and did not understand why he couldn't. I finally got her dropped off, the forms signed, and Gavin back into his car seat. As I pull away I notice the lady next to me is still sitting in her car from when we got there and the hood is open. I asked if she was okay, she said yes, that her husband was on the way b/c her car wouldn't start. I offered my jumper cables, she was very grateful and accepted. Her car still wouldn't start even with the cables, so I called my dad to ask how long it should take for the car to start up. He gave me a quick, direct answer (thanks dad). The battery was definitely dead and not "jumping" to the occasion. She thanked me 3 times saying that no one else stopped to offer her help and it was very nice of me to do so with a baby.
So then we went to Walmart and the lines were so long. Helloo....can't you open a few more lanes? There are like 30 lanes at Walmart and only THREE of them open. Gavin started crying in the line and this older lady kept giving me dirty looks. It took forever and finally we came home. I had to drag in soda, milk, dog food, and bags of groceries and a crying baby. As soon as we get everything inside it was time to go BACK to Petsmart to get Sasha. They were running late and she wasn't ready yet. Gavin was already 20 minutes past his nap time by the time we got there. To keep him occupied we walked around and looked at the fish and the birds. Finally she was finished.

This is where it gets funny. Sasha came running toward me when they opened the little gate to let her out. She looked more than ready to get out of there. She jumped up on me and slimed my face. Her saliva went everywhere and it got all over my glasses. They were all smeared and i couldn't see! As i tried to wipe them off she jumped again, this time scratching the back of my leg behind my knee. It hurt SOOOO bad. She had just had her nails trimmed and there was a jagged edge on one of them. I looked at the back of my leg and there was a huge scratch and it was bleeding down the back of my leg. I tried to grab my receipt, get Sasha under control, put my purse back on my shoulder, secure my keys, and get the cart with Gavin in it out of the door to the grooming department. As i finally get us all out there was a lady walking toward us with one of those bloodhound dogs that howl. It started howling, so Sasha tried to lunge towards it. My purse fell off my shoulder again and Gavin tried to climb out of the cart to see the dog. He was laughing at the funny sounds the dog was making and Sasha started jumping up and down. My glasses were so smeared on one side that I cannot see out of my left eye. I noticed i was limping because my leg hurt so bad where she scratched me. And it was so bright outside that Gavin and I were squinting. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I decided to laugh, mostly because when I cry I get a headache and feel worse. Craziness.
