• Only ME! You'd never guess what happened to me today !!! We went to this big consignement sale for baby stuff and kids clothes, that they have twice a year. I happen to find some maternity clothes for a good price, but still wanted to try them on since it's this late in the game, don't want to spend any more on them than I have to.

  So I find a worker and ask her about a dressing room, well, they didn't have one, only bathrooms that were a mess and they weren't sending people to them (this was an old department store in a mall that was normally empty) BUT she said she would just look the other way.... so that meant, go ahead if you wish...

  So DD Leah went with me, I at first didn't see the restroom sign, and it was dimly lit, but I saw what had been the old Men's dressing rooms, it was dark in there, and that should have told me right then not to go, but ....I did, and as soon as I got to the first door, I started sliding... and found myself on the floor, the WET floor, God only knows where that water was from! I'm hoping it was rain water from the leaky roof since it rained so much last nite! So I'm saying Leah Help Me! and She's about to laugh but knows she shouldn't, asked if my WATER broke when she saw all the water! We were trying to get me up and grab the clothes that had fell! I didn't land on my stomach, THANK the LORD! I broke my fall with my left arm and leg.

  Leah did end up laughing, we found the nasty bathrooms  and went in to try to change and dry off, the dryers didn't work, go figure!  I was shaking at first! I was able to try on all but one dress that got too wet! It was cute too, too bad! So we went back out, hung up the ones we didn't want (including the wet dress)I hung it at the end of the rack , I hated to but I couldn't tell anyone working there, cause we technically wasn't supposed to be back there anyway!  We got our stuff paid for, and sent Dave and girls (except dear Leah) out to the van, while we went to the restroom. (all the while I hadn't told Dave I fell) We went back in , went to the shoe store in the Mall and bought me a pair of flip-flops, then to the bathroom where I had to get out of those disgusting feeling wet clothes! I had bought a pair of jean shorts at the consignment sale, that I put on along with the new flip-flops, since my shoes were soaked too!

  When we got to the Van, Dave said something about hoping we had a good reason for taking so long...I said Oh we do!!! I told him then what had happened!

  As for my shopping trip, I ended up with a scraped arm,  wet pants and shoes, a baby bouncer seat, a few dresses for Hannah and Hope. I wished I could have shopped more, but that was another thing, it was so HOT in there, I started feeling dizzy when I was looking at the clothes, and had to quit!  So we'll see if I decide to return to it again when they have it in the Fall!!!         ~Jill~
