I did NOT take this picture, although it IS my truck.
This afternoon I went up to the mall to use my Bath and Body coupons! The kids wanted to all go so we piled in and headed up to the mall. Now, my mall I would say is pretty large. The parking lot was VERY full. It took a long time to find a spot.
As I drove up and down the aisles, the kids would yell when they would see an open spot. By the time I got around to it, it was always gone. Finally, I came up on a car backing out and went to back up a few feet to let them out. The woman in the car behind me pulled right up on my bumper and refused to back up a little so I could let the car out! She made it clear by her hand motions that she had no intention of moving AT ALL. Fine. Be that way.
I pulled forward and the car backed out and she pulled in my spot…
Sooooo I kept looking for another spot. The natives were getting restless in the truck. I came across another spot FINALLY, it looked a little narrow and so I swung way around to pull in, but the car in the spot next to it was parked on and over the line so I had really no room!
I ended up only being able to get in the spot if I parked on the curb. My kids were horrified! I assured them I was not going to get arrested and as I was starting to loose my patience I just ignored their worried glances.
We were in the mall for an hour when I get this text message from my sister with the picture above attached:
“Never bring up my handicap parkin’ job again… Curb Lady!”
Seriously, what are the chances someone I know recognizes my truck and calls me out on my bad parking job?!
Too funny, I had to laugh!


Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!

The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
I swear, if there is one thing I hate about the holidays, it is parking! Ugh! There is one local mall I am completely avoiding until at least mid-January–their parking situation is horrible!
That said, I don’t blame you AT ALL for doing whatever it took! 🙂 I mean, hello, free stuff at B&BW?!
LOL Love it! We just got a suburban a few months ago to haul around our crew… I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, however it is harder to park an “average” size spot isn’t going to work! Plus then I am screaming at the kids about the DOORS! I so love how you made it work for you! My husbands new motto “just roll over those matchbox cars!” LOL!
LOL!!! That mall is like that everyday. I have found the best time to go is 10am or around 4:30 (thats on week days anyway) I try to stay away on the weekends.
You go girl! You do what you have to do sometimes! I enjoy your humor!
I just love you!! LOL
That’s awesome, you two are funny!
Man, our sister is like the paparazzi.
