Why I don't go anywhere on Saturday!

It's a typical Saturday, wake up, have my coffee, look through the flyers to see what's on sale this week. But this Saturday is a little different.....It's Roddy's 40th birthday and Avery has a birthday party to go to at noon. So, I have no choice, I have to go out and get gifts and drive Avery to Chuck E Cheese. So, I drive around trying to find a parking spot, try to find a gift for a 4 year old girl. Find something that looks good but there is no price on it. Try to find a salesperson. Ah, found one, but can I slow her down? She's going so fast, must be time for her break. Yes, I stopped her, well kind of...she answers my question while still on the move. Oh well, at least I got an answer. Pay for my purchase, they put the item in a ripped bag! Ah forget it, don't want to wait around for a new bag. Off we go, through the mall parking lot, behind a car obviously in a hurry to go nowhere. There's a pedestrian crossing and 2 elderly people are crossing. The car infront of me slams on it's brakes, lets the couple cross and then.....honks his horn loud at them!!! Why? Because they were crossing where the designated spot is? You don't honk your horn at 80 year old people, what's wrong with this person?
Then I drop Avery off at Mr. Cheese's place. It's a zoo but that's OK, because that's how it's suppose to be in there. Then I have to come back in 2 hours and pick him up again. Nows is my chance, I can go to the grocery store and get supper for Roddy's birthday. Now I remember why I don't do groceries on Saturday!!!!!! People don't understand how the whole aisle etiquette works. No time to explain it to them today, I'm in a hurry to get out of there, I feel a panic attack coming on!
Now, I have one hour to until I pick up Avery. I wonder what's in store for me next?
