Tornadoes and Raisins

Really? Is this some idea of a sick joke?The other day, Monday I dropped Diva and Piglet off at school I had to go to Target, well perhaps "had" isn't the word but anyway I went to Target after with Pixie girl. It started POURING rain once we got inside. So I am walking around putting things in the basket, taking things out and putting them back on the shelf waiting for the rain to slow down. Check out, take a peek outside to see if it's stopped raining. No such luck, people in khaki's and red shirts with flash lights start coming around telling everyone to go the back wall by the DVDs. Tornado warning. Nice, I am going to be pummeled by stacks of DVDs... this is it, this is how it ends. It's not like I am stuck in Target and I can walk around and shop. I am stuck there in the back with the electronics and DVDs, neither of which I need. I am grateful to Target because I am certain it was safer there than in my car, however not on my pocketbook. So we're there waiting, Pixie is getting
hungry. I nurse her. We get an all clear. I head out towards the front of the store. Of course I can't walk through without finding something else to purchase. Ridiculous I know, but the girls needed panties. I get to the front, check out and it's POURING, I mean sheets of rain. Now me no biggie, I realize we're both waterproof so I talk to one of the employees a bit and he advises against leaving, more tornadic activity is reported. Ugh, fine. I ask, knowing full well the answer, if he could watch Pixie while I run out and get her the fresh carrots I made for her that morning. No, I understand that the whole liability thing. SO, back in to purchase some baby food. Poor kid gagged and looked at me like are you for real lady? I feel bad, of all things I chose something with bananas in it. Ewww old bananas. I go to the cafe to feed Pixie and, well there's a Starbucks there. I order a latte and an oatmeal. Oatmeal with nuts and brown sugar. The lady hands me my latte and oatmeal along with a little bag of nuts, OK cool... and raisins. Not just raisins but brown ones, golden ones, and craisins. For real woman? The thought of putting them in my hot oatmeal for them to plump up and ugh. I was weak in my knees, thank God she didn't put them in the oatmeal for me. EEEKK> What a scary day.
