Too Close for Comfort

For the 5 of you left reading my blog, and who are no doubt struggling to fall asleep not knowing if we got our free slurpees today....rest assured because yes, yes we did. Barely! Thanks to my persistent mother, that is. I kept thinking about 7/11 all week, then for some reason forgot about it several times today. So when we finally got there around 5:30 tonight we were greeted with the above "out of free slurpee" sign. That normally would have been an earth-shattering discovery for me, but pregnancy makes me do and think some crazy things. I thought momentarily that I didn't care and that I was just tired and wanted to go home. My deal-lovin' mom, on the other hand, did not feel defeated and would not take "out of free slurpee" for an answer. She called around until she found our magical location. And boy were we rewarded. Their regular small size was the one they were giving away free. For sure the biggest one I've seen in all my free-slurpee years!

Thanks, Mom, for keeping the faith and helping me through my temporary insanity!
