The ULTIMATE Craigslist Story So Far....

Ok...so I am a bit excited, but I LOVE having Rob home on the weekends with me. It makes things so much easier to handle. I LOVE the girls.
Today was an interesting experience...For those of you Craigslister finders, you'll appreciate this one. I went to pick up a table/chairs for the girls. Cheap $7.00 Winnie the Pooh and friends one that I don't have to worry about them coloring on, etc. Anywho, I am driving there and an ambulance passes me, but it wasn't going toward any hospital; it was going away. Well...I kept driving my merry way to this lady's house. When I got there, I found out where the ambulance went! And there was a fire truck too!! So...of course I am not going to go knock on the door and say, "Excuse me? Where is my Winnie the Pooh table?" Too funny. So, I headed toward Meijer for bottle liners, yogurt, fruit, and lettuce (just thought you should know my shopping list!). And, in Meijer, I had to go potty....So...I am going potty and my phone rings!! McKenzie abruptly says, "Mama! Phone!! Mama!! Phone!!" Yes, your toddler is not ashamed to say anything in a public restroom. So....I pick it up. Here is how the conversation goes...P.S. The lady's name is Liz.
Liz: Hello? Kelli?
K: Yes?
L: Um...I was just wondering if you were picking up the table and chairs?
K: Well...yes...I was planning on it, but there were emergency vehicles in front of your house when I came by.
L: Yes, well...my 2 year old fell and had cut her lip open and I couldn't stop the bleeding. So, I called 911 and told them they didn't have to come, they just had to tell me how to stop the bleeding. They said they had to send someone anyway....
K: Ok...Well, I am in Meijer right now.
L: How long are you going to be?
K: I don't know...maybe an hour?
L: Can you make it faster?
K: I'm sorry?
L: Can you make it faster? I have bills to go pay and a few errands to run.
K: Well, I can try...I'll see you as soon as I can.
So...here I go rushing through Meijer grabbing produce, yogurt, bottle liners, etc. and reach the front only to have THE SLOWEST CASHIER POSSIBLE. All the while, Kylie starts screaming for who knows why and McKenzie wants her "goldfishies", which I left in the car.....
So...we finish checking out and I go into the bathroom AGAIN to change Kylie diaper and she burps too (which explains the crying). Then, I go to the car and call Liz to tell her..."I'm on my way!" P.S. It's been 45 minutes.
She says, "Oh, that's OK...I'm not going anyway today."
WHAT?????????????
Then, she says, "I went downstairs to grab laundry for my kids and my washer had overflowed and my basement if flooded.
And I thought I was having a bad day.......................
All in the life of a mommy.....
