Utter Frustration!

So it was one (i mean two) of those days where no matter what you do, things don't seem to work out. Not bad days but just, well frustrating. So yesterday i needed to get two things done, car emission/inspection and fruit fresh to finish canning while i watched conference today. I figured i could do them at the same time and save some time. I ran to the Walmart near me and stopped at their car place, thinking i could shop while i was waiting, but they don't do inspections so i drove to the jiffy lube which was still within walking distance of Walmart, and yep, you guessed it, they couldn't do it. They had recently lost their license. So i ran into Walmart anyway and ended up spending half hour looking for fruit fresh, which they did not have! Ok, so off to the next Lube place, nope they lost there license too, they sent me to this scaaarry place that said they could do it, but not for an hour. SO finally the next Jiffy Lube could do it, but it would take 1/2 hour and i had ice cream in the back. The guy was really nice and said i could put it in the freezer in their work room!  Yea finally.So back home later that night i sent Willie to Smiths to get, yes fruit fresh, he came home with pectin and said this is all they had! So this morning i ran to Allen's market just positive i'd come home with some and they were out, so then i ran to Macey's and yep they were out to. Talk about frustrated. I came home and called the local fruit stand and she said, we haven't been able to stock it this fall. Must be a shortage. So rather than give in to frustration and climb into bed, i decided i would just start packing up my craft room while i watched conference. It proved to be very productive except i decided i do have too much stuff.  

Fast forward to dinner and Willie was going to Priesthood, so i told the kids i would make a big pot of chili. Ran out to the freezer and guess what, no meat. I called the neighbor and she said sorry i only have elk meat (YUK). So off to the store i ran. Mind you i always keep the ingredients for chili or spaghetti on hand. I buy ten of everything. I grabbed the meat and quickly drove back home. Threw it in the pot and added everything except the seasoning. And let it cook. Went to the cupboard to grab the seasoning and it was almost empty. I almost passed out. I had nothing else to spice it up. Kids hated it and said it was gross. And you asked why am i telling you this, well i will tell you: HAVEN'T A CLUE, i was just bored! he he. Have a good day.
