breaking the sabbath

Well, today has definately not turned out as planned, we were in such a hurry this morning that we didn't realize we were actually getting ready 2 hours too early and then I remembered I was in charge of spotlighting a sister in Relief society today and had forgotten to get the stuff yesterday (as yesterday didn't go as planned either) so today we had to do something we haven't done in a long time and that is we had to run to the store to get gummy bears and after spending what seemed like forever running around the store looking I finally found some $0.88 bags of generic gummi bears, which would have sufficed any other time, but I was spotlighting a sister in relief society and one of those bags wouldn't do it, 2 of those bags would look even more tacky, so I finally admitted defeat and asked for help--the lady informed me there was some "by the lb" candy so I ran to the back of the store, grabbed a bag and got what seemed like an ok amount, then I found where it said "1 lb for $3.99" are you kidding me? so I looked for a scale to weigh it--nothing, then I realize that Dominic isn't stupid, he is going to know what that bag is full of and want some, and most of them are orange, so I have to get a 2nd bag of candy that I can give to Dominic so I throw a variety of candy in the sack and run to check out.

I couldn't believe it, the total came to over $7 and all I was getting was candy, I looked at the screen, sure enough I had almost 2 lbs of candy, and at $3.99 a lb it adds up quick I just didn't realize (since I am a horrible guestimator and there was no scales) that I had gotten nearly 2 lbs of candy, well what do you do? I should have asked her if I could put some back but John and Dominic and the baby I am watching today were out in the truck so in my hurry I paid the $7+ dollars and ran out of the store and realized that I would just have to learn my lesson and not wait till the last minute to buy gummi bears.

See, had I not waited till the last minute I would have been able to buy the 2 bags for $0.88 a piece taken them home and put them in a cutsie decorated ziplock bag and I would have saved a lot of money, but since I did it last minute instead of spending $1.76 + tax I ended up spending over $7 so ya'll learn from me and keep the sabath holy

oh, and then to make it even better, the lady I was suppose to be spotlighting didn't even show up to church, so I had a dozen roses, a ton of very expensive gummi bears and no one to spot light, the lady who is incharge of the spotlights though let me do her since she said she likes gummi bears so in addition to breakin the sabbath we both lied to cover up that the person I really bought that stuff for wasn't there--man I have a lot of repenting to do today.
