First I ran the kids to school after packing them a sack lunch.  Off to the Omaha Zoo the 4th and 5th graders went for their yearly field trip.  After I got home, Randy got dressed and I followed him up to the city to the Ford dealer (stupid ass fords!) to get his work truck fixed.  We didn't want to go all the way back home to get a phone call to go back up to get the truck if they got it fixed fast.  They didn't.  

While we were waiting to hear from lax customer support people at Ford, Randy & I went out to his work so he could talk to the owners.  We bullshitted.  Then we hit Bomgaars (for city folk that is a type of store where you can get clothes, gardening supplies, farm equipment, livestock supplies, and occasional live animals such as chicks, ducks, turkies, rabbits and such).  Randy pointed out a burn ring (fire ring for those that don't live in the country).  I hemmed and hawed.  It had trees and deer on it.  Dayumit I was promised a Dragon or Faery one last year at t his time and didn't get it!  But we did get a dog collar for DeLaney's dayum naughty dog.  From there we went to the Verizon store to get a new holster and Blue Tooth ear thingy for Randy's work phone.  I managed to finally get a car charger for my cell phone I barely use.  After that we hit Lowes and looked for burn rings (That is my mother's day gift).  They didn't have any but we did get a screwed up plug in light bulb for the base my idiot brother bought for our hall way with out asking us!  

We hit Golden Corral (I do NOT recommend that as a family restaurant simply because they cost way to much for even two people!).  We were having a date day!:O:D  To kill yet more time we went to PetSmart.  Where I picked up some bird supplies for my Cocketeil Dirty Bird.  I asked about trantulas and they said nope don't carry them try PetCo.  Okay.  Then we headed downtown to the other Bomgaar's where I broke down and allowed Randy to get me the same burn ring we looked at, at the first Bomgaar's.  I stopped hemming and hawing because if I didn't get it I wouldn't get a Mamma's Day gift again this year.  It is a good size one even if it is similar to my girl Bree's.  Her's has elk on it and is smaller so I guess it is okay.  We also got DeLaney's naughty assed dog a dog house and is permenatly outside now.  Yay!  My house is back to being only kids, cats, & a bird!  

PetCo was right next to this Bomgaar's so we went in.  JackPOT!  The last Rose Tarantula in the city!  Coltin has been bugging for a tarantula since he was seven.  When we got DeLaney's dog we told him let's give it 6 months and then we will get you your spider.  Randy I found out HATES spiders.  He rather deal with snakes and I rather deal with spiders (I think spiders are cute creatures!).  Between the terrarirum (sp?) and the spider under 30 bucks.  So far way cheaper then DeLaney's dayum dog!  Plus we have all the food right in our yard to feed the lil bug!  Coltin is estatic!  We got the spider because Sioux City has the tarantula's listed as a banned animal because they are vemonous.  doesn't matter if it isn't to humans!  Those taratunulas they don't sell in the first place!

After that we went to a smoke shop so I could get some long awaited clove cigs.  I got those and some cherry cigs.  Then I had fun looking around this booze/cig shop.  Needless to say Randy has added that store to the list of banned pet stores I can't go in unless he is with me.  I walk out with animals with or without him so I don't get that ban!  Do you?:D  Then we headed towards one of the Wally Worlds and decieded nope lets go into Gameshop where I can buy yet another MecAssult 2 for Randy.  The clerk was a elementry friend!  How kewl is that!  An acutal  friend.  Then we went to a furnature store.  I got a new couch and chair coming today!  

We finally heard from Ford!  Yay truck has to stay in shop!  They could have called us sooner because we just spent money all day!  Randy says we can't have another date day for a while cause we beebopped all over the city spending money!  I agreed!

But it was a good day!  Then we picked up the kids!  We played Xbox Monopoloy all night long as a family!  

Edit:  My kids are in 3rd and 4th grades at this time NOT 4th and 5th.  That will be next school year!  Excuse me if I get things confused!  DeLaney has volleyball camp today and that is only for 4-6th grades!
