As if it weren't already enough

I would have thought being locked out of the house would be enough adventure for one day. But more came yesterday. Where do you think would be the craziest place to have a fire drill? Of course they are a normal thing to have in public schools. At BYU we would have them all the time during ballet class. That was pretty crazy as we would grab something to cover up our tights and leotard and run outside where the Modern and Folk dance classes would continue dancing on the grass. How about the commissary? (The grocery store on base.) It is about a 15 minute drive from home and I still take a long time shopping because I haven't memorized the store's layout yet. It makes for a long trip. We were so close to being done. Just a few more items and only three aisles from the end. Then the alarm went off. It was kind of funny because all the shoppers just looked at each other all thinking, "what is that?" I couldn't believe it was a fire drill, maybe some alarm that went off accidentally. The employees starting ushering people out telling us to leave our carts and exit the building immediately. I grabbed my two kids, one under each arm, and my coupon basket and left my almost ready to go cart. Benjamin fought me the whole way, what can I say-he loves shopping. After waiting for the fire trucks and police to come and clear the alarm, we were allowed back in. My 1 hr and 15 min. shopping trip turned into a 2 hr 30 min. shopping trip. Maybe not the craziest place to have a fire drill, but one I would like to avoid!
