You know you're in TX when........

Yesterday my show started with a dentist appt at 8:45 am because I'm having issues with my gums due to being ME and the pregnancy.  After an "eggs for empty cartons" lunch with Teresa, a trip to the mall (Yes, I AM that nuts but I HAD to get some new bras.....DD folks, Double freakin D's), 2 different grocery stores to get all the stuff and plenty o junk, Costco to pick up folding chairs so folks have some place to sit their butts tomorrow, it was THEN that I went to Target.  The crib we picked out was on a screamin deal at the "pre-black blow out sale to beat all sales of DOOM" but you had to get it in-store and since it was a "till supplies last" & "no rainchecks" sort o deal, I ended up going to 3 count that THREE Target stores to find the stupid freakin crib!!!!  To say at this point I was DONE would be an understatement!

So I get to Bustin's car and the stupid freaking crib won't fit in the backseat.  I'm not sure what I was thinking or just how I thought it was going to fit??  It's HUGE!!!  Well I guess I simply wasn't thinking at all!  I called Bustin and begged for him to come rescue me in his big bad truck cause I was about to have a serious break down in the stupid Target parking lot!

While I was reclined in the front seat playing solitaire on my phone trying really hard not to start crying, this very large lady with a very thick Texas accent came over to me and said, "Da-harlin, I can't help but notice you're in a predicament.  I have a truck and I can take that crib wherever you need to take it. Is it for you?  Are you expectin? How excitin!"  I told her thank you that I'd already called my husband to come be my knight in dusty armor.  She then said, "You call him right back, I'm here already!"  I explained where we lived (NOT close to the Target I had to go to to find the crib) and I simply couldn't ask her to drive all that way in 5:30 traffic but thank you so much all the same.  She told me to have a safe night and congratulations again on our coming baby.

Sometimes it's really nice to live in a place where peoples offer up such kindness to strangers....even if the stranger is a deranged looking pregnant lady on the verge o a nervous breakdown!
