I laugh in the face of Chaos

Let me paint the scene for you...

I needed some stuff from Lowes (Home Improvement, not the food store) and I didn't want to get out the big stroller because there was too much stuff on it, so Bella agreed to push a small umbrella stroller along side of me.  The boys know how to walk in the umbrella stroller, so they don't truly contain them, merely slow them down.  As I'm coaxing Bella to stay with me and making decisions about exactly which pipe I want, one boy has decided to walk the stroller around the aisle nearly hitting an unsuspecting couple.  I make a decision and we start strolling around Lowes, because I like to look around Lowes for my next project.  Innocent people are dodging Bella and the boy she is pushing because let's face it, she is a simply a "bad" driver on her BEST day!  After walking halfway across the store, I change my mind and decide on a bigger(almost as tall as me) pipe and proceeded to put it in the storage basket of the stroller.  So as we're headed to the checkout, I get a phone call and have a brief chat while everyone in the store is looking at me pushing a child with a LARGE pipe sticking out of the stroller, while fussing at another child who is pushing another boy ahead without waiting on me.  A Lowes staff member stops and comments, "you have your hands full!"  I shook my head yes, because the only thing that could come to my head and out of my mouth was ridiculously sarcastic so I chose to keep my mouth closed!

This may seem like chaos to many, but this is my life and it doesn't even phase me!
