Parenthood is EVIL

Look at me. It’s 6am and I’m already up, showered, and drinking my second cup of coffee. “Why?” you may ask. Well, because LilZ has a 9am soccer game almost an HOUR AWAY this morning. This really screws with my Saturday schedule. I do my grocery shopping at Super Target at 8am (when they open) EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY. Since I can’t wait until 8am this morning, I am getting up early enough to do my shopping at…at…at…WAL-MART.

I HATE WAL-MART.

Now, I used to have a deep dark love affair with the WAL-MART in Muscle Shoals, AL. It was clean and nice and everyone was friendly and not at all scary. But the WAL-MART where I live now? SCARY. It is dirty, the employees tend to be a little mean which is understandable considering 90% of their clientele are the type of jackass who drives up, parks in a handicapped (no sticker, no decal) space, has a rebel flag on his antenna and struts around WAL-MART wearing no shirt and smoking a cigarette.

YES. I have seen many people smoke in this WAL-MART. No, they don’t allow it.

I also have issues with WAL-MART as a company, but in reality? I don’t need those issues to assist my decision making because our WAL-MART sucks so bad. Y’all – I saw a truck with a guy sitting in it one time. And what was in the BED of the truck? A ten point buck. DEAD. Dude had a dead deer in the back of his truck at WAL-MART. Does that help explain my aversion at all? Good.

Well, keep me in your prayers. If you don’t hear back from me soon, send in the troops.

    I hate Walmart too. It smells funny.

    There’s something they pipe in with the air at Wal-Mart. It makes my kids act like total brats and gives me zero patience for it. So before we’ve even crossed half the store I’m yelling at the kids telling them to knock it off and threatening bodily harm. Just like every other parent in there.

    Wal-Mart scares me.

    I’m just too much of a comfort queen. I love the soothing, clean, orderly environment of Super Target. Plus, I HATE the way that W-M deliberately understaffs their check-out lanes with no regard for the customers or workers. At the S. Pkwy W-M, during the after-work rush, the check-out lines are like 20 deep. Plus, W-M clearance is so weak! It’s like an insult compared to my beloved Target clearance! SUCK IT, wal-mart!

    I’m with you. Target is lightyears better than Wal-Mart. I also have issues with some of Wal-Mart’s policies, but it goes way beyond that. I always have a bad experience in the parking lot. The contstant announcements over the PA make me nuts, and it always feels crowded and dirty. I think they try to cram too much stuff in to the store.

    I will say that the people who work there are usually very nice and friendly. But that’s about the only good thing I can come up with.

    Oh my Gosh I am so with you on this one…. We don’t have a Super target yet… So its going to the “grocery” store for me.

    I’m new to Wal-Mart, we just got our first one nearby. I spend way too much money there b/c I keep putting things in my cart thinking oh look how cheap! oh what steal! And then I’m in shock when I see the total. The one thing I’ve noticed since I’ve started shopping there is that for some reason babies & small children hate Wal-Mart. Every baby cries her eyes out there. What do they know that we don’t?

  7. Golly, I hardly know what to say. I guess this:

    If you get deaded, I hope they put you in the back of a clean truck. See, I know how you are about cleanliness.

  8. callistawolf says:

    Yikes! I suppose I’m spoiled. My walmart is of the clean, pleasant variety and I do have a deep dark love affair with it. And our Target? While somewhat super is not 100% super and has no groceries. And is on the other side of town. BUt it’s okay since our Walmart isn’t scary.

    I’ll send out the posse if you don’t get back in time. ;)

  9. Kitty says:

    Luckily our Wal*Mart is just this side of nice, so though I don’t enjoy going there, I’m not afraid for my life.
    But a wonderful thing happened – a Super Target decided to move in across the street!! It’s not finished yet, but when it is I will be there!

    In the words of the famous Zoot….WalMart sucks ass.

  11. Corrie says:

    I hate Wal-Mart. I avoid it like the chicken pox. The Wal-Mart that is near me contains people who just stand in the aisles looking like Wal-Mart just invented running water or something. I am always tempted to run people over with my cart when I am there.

    Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!

  13. alfredsmom says:

    Out of curiosity, have you always been a morning person? You are always up so early! How do you do it?

  14. Tammy says:

    Laughing hysterically…

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
