Yesterday we had to do some hospital visitation in another town. We've been hearing about BJ's wholesale club about 20 minutes from there and how we should check it out so we decided to combine the two destinations. We paid a nice long visit to a church member in the hospital. Then we headed over to the next stop.
What we did not anticipate was the traffic between the two towns! We got stuck in rush hour traffic, bumper to bumper! Oh my...we've been living out in the boonies for the last 5 years and it had been a long time!
Finally I told my husband that I did not care what it was, just please stop at the next restaurant we came to and let's eat supper to let the traffic clear out. It turned out to be a Smokey Bones which we had never eaten at. The food was good and it was a much needed break. We got ready to leave and their computers went down. So we had to wait for them to get the computer working before we could leave. (Isn't that so sad that we are THAT dependent on a computer?!)
We finally made it to the wholesale club and did a walk through to check prices. By now my precious children were getting tired and could have cared less about it LOL. Drama ensued when the store had every size EXCEPT FlowerChild's! But that is to be expected. At any rate we were very impressed with the prices and the fact that they give monthly coupon books as well as accepting coupons. So we bought a membership there...and then it was closing time!
I didn't get the first grocery item LOL!
The day was gone so we headed home to get the littles to bed. So it looks like I will be trying to grocery shop again today :)
I could get very frustrated because I didn't accomplish yesterday's errands plus had to rearrange today's plans. (Couldn't even get my laundry done because I was out of detergent) But there's really no need. We had a great time together and a good meal plus discovered a new place to go. It's all good ;)
