TOMMY LOVES COSTCO!

SO THE SAGA OF THE CAMERA HAS ENDED! ON WEDNESDAY WE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE BACK MY BROKEN CAMERA TO COSTCO. ALAS, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS DOWN AND THEY COULD NOT ACCESS ANYTHING EARLIER THAN 2006. I HAD FINALLY REALIZED WE BOUGHT THE CAMERA FOR PUDGIE'S BIRTH IN 2005. WOW HOW TIME GOES BY... ANYWAY, AFTER I HAD PICKED UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL TOMMY ASKS ME IF I AM GOING TO TAKE THE CAMERA BACK ..... AGAIN....... WHAT?????? NO! I JUST FIGURED WE COULD DO IT TOMORROW.

HE IS HORRIBLE AT RETURNING THINGS AND STARTS TO ALMOST WHIMPER. I TOLD HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO CALL THE DESK AND SEE IF THEY COULD EVEN ACCESS OUR RECORDS AND THEN AND ONLY THEN WOULD I TAKE THE CAMERA BACK AGAIN! OH, AND IF I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE STORE TODAY, I WAS COMING HOME WITH THE TEETER~TOTTER WE HAD SEEN THERE EARLIER IN THE DAY. I WAS SERIOUS. I DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK.... I WAS ON A MISSION NOW. THERE WAS NO WAY HE WOULD AGREE TO THAT! HA!

I LOST. AND THE KIDS WON.... AND TOMMY WON.... WE GOT A NEW TEETER~TOTTER AND A NEW CAMERA... FOR $18.48.

WELL, THEN THERE IS THE WHOLE BOX THING AGAIN. PUDGIE LOVES THE PLANE. ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT..... BUT THE DARN BOX PULLS HIM BACK LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME. UNTIL BULK TRASH IN ANOTHER WEEK. I WILL LET HIM PLAY... OR UNTIL THEY LEAVE IT IN THE RAIN!
