oh, that would have been bad. Thankfully I had put my feet in the lake :-)

We had so much fun. Chloe had brought 2 friends and all the girls were having so much fun tubing. Marae had the funniest faces and the best funniest wipe outs.

First we stopped at Safeway to get doughnuts for the kids. As we were walking to the bakery my purse knocked into a display of wine knocking a bottle off and sending it crashing to the floor where is shattered at my feet spilling it all over my toes. The bottle shattered sending shards of glass one which hit my foot and cut it. Wine hurts in an open wound. Who knew. So, then I had to go tell someone I had been clumsy and ask for a band-aid. They then want to tell management...
Then at the lake we were having fun tubing I noticed that the gas was almost all gone and we were at the other end no where near the marinas. So, we start heading that way. As we enter the cruise way that leads to the marina my boat begins to sputter. I had dropped sped already but dropped it a little more hoping we could make it to Kane's. We didn't. It totally died about 1000 feet from the marina but in a 22 foot speed boat and nothing but a woman and kids it might as well have been a hundred. So, more embarrassment I had to call for the sheriff to come to my rescue. While all the people passed and watched from the marina so close but SO far away from the gas I needed. Oh well. We still had fun the rest of the day.
I t is such a surprise to me that the store management didn't come to make sure you and the kids were all right. You could come back and tell them one of the kids ended up with glass in his eye. They are surpose to make sure your ok and they want get sueded.
And then the lake I can't believe on one came and asked if you needed any help.

One time I went grocery shopping with my mom...she reached for an orange on the produce display and sent them all tumbling! As we reached the meat department, she slipped in a puddle of water from a leaking cooler and ripped her pants! I guess the management thought she might sue them (she would never) so they made a big fuss. I was absolutely mortified, being 13 at the time. Twenty-six years later I still remember and laugh! :lol:
