Mormon?

This is not an attack on religions.
So I went to Sam's on Friday. I had a giftcard to buy diapers from my DH's Gram for Wal-mart. But, I can't stand that place. So I went to Sam's to use the card instead. 1 pack of diapers was $37.96! That is only a 1 month supply. I added it up the other day. While looking over my CVS reciept. I have only spent a whopping $45 for 3 sets of diapers for the last 3 months. Sheesh. It almost hurt to buy them even with a giftcard. But, if I waited any longer I would lose the giftcard. Plus I didn't want to make the 1 hour drive for nothing.
While we were browsing around, we went to the area where they were handing out crackers. Well I the 2 youngest in the stroller. And the other 2 galloping around like little ones tend to do when they are wound up too much. Well they saw the crackers and immediately stopped and politely took a cracker from the lady. Well, another lady came around and said, "Oh how cute. Are they all yours?" Now, if it wasn't for the fact she was a little old lady (who worked there by the way) I would have said "No, I picked up one over by the produce." But, I said "Yes." Then she said, "Oh you must be Mormon."
Then I said, "No we wanted 3 and we just got a bonus." Then she said, "Don't worry about it I support Mormons."
Now, what in the world was she thinking? Maybe I just misheard her. Seriously, Mormon?
How in the world do you say. "I'm just crazy. Nothing to do with faith. Must be an underlying "Freud" moment. I wanted more siblings as a kid, so I'm giving my kids the luxury of having more siblings. But, not so many I can't remember their name." Whoops, well forget the last remark. I frequently call the kids by their siblings name all the time.

| |  I can imagine you getting looks. I bet you go up to buy tampons by the case. I bet they think you are having "issues" or run a teen girl home. |

| | yeah...it was pretty bad October of "06 doing the CVS deals...tampons and pads by the cart fulls. That is how I ended up with a 7+ year supply...and only 2 of us using them so far, lol. |

| | That friendly old lady's comment is so random! :hysterical: She thinks 4 is a lot? She should check out some of our own members' families-she would die!!!! 4 kids doesn't seem that many to me as far as quantity of children. However, as far as your sanity goes, I don't know how you do it!!!! I only have 2 young ones and I feel like I am losing my mind!!!! :hectic1: It totally amazes me the parents who have more than 1 kid and "seem" to have it all under control. I can barely get changed, deodorant on, teeth brushed before I have to drop off my DD at preschool at 9 AM. I even wake up at 5:45 just to get a head start before the baby wakes at 6:15. Then it is non-stop from there. But then I go to DD's preschool and there are moms who have their makeup all done, nice clothes on, kids look well behaved and dressed nicely and I wonder to myself (with my spit up stained shirt), "How do they do it?!" Jane/Big Dog, You both amaze me! Going to the stores, getting your stockpile, taking care of your kids, posting in all the forums, and you you still seem sane :wink7:. Oh, please show me the way!!!! :beg3: |

| | I never thought 4 kids was that many either in terms of quanity. But, after watching one of my neighbors pregnant with number 5. And her oldest is 7 or 8. I just don't have that "funny feeling" of wanting another. So we are done (I think). Oh no did I say that? 5 kids is the max I would want to have, 3 was the minimum. I really don't understand why people want Dugger version of kids. But, to each their own. As far as clothes, makeup, and hair. I haven't worn a dress in 4 years. I haven't cut my hair in 2 (I REALLY want it cut.) I'm nursing the littlest one and can't get away for more then 2 hours. Afraid they will run late. And I just got make up with the Jane deal at Wags. My first makeup since I got married. Oh and as far as you loosing your mind with 2. 2 is pleanty enough to loose your mind. Goodness 1 is is enough matter of fact. |

| | Ha Ha Ha, I just got asked on my blog if I am LDS, since I stockpile for a year. I said no, I am just a frugal shopper, lmao! |

| |  I have been asked that by my neighbor once. We had the garage door open and he peered inside and said "are yall Mormon?" Nope I just stockpile and have a buttload of kids...has nothing to do with my religion. I can't imaging making such an assumtion out loud. |

| |  I know this is old but i just read it :) that is pretty funny, and it is hard to speak your mind to lil old ladies. I still don't see a connection between shopping w/ four kids and being a mormon lol oldladies say the darnest things :) hehe had to edit i typed moron |

| | LOL. Nice edit. I could see the connection between having 4 kids and being a moron. Based on my own personal experience. I'm pretty moronish (is that word?) at times. |
