Bad Karma in the Wal- Mart Restroom

How many times have you gone into a public bathroom and decided to use the big spacious handicapped stall? Especially if your Daughter says,"but I really have to go bad", and you have the other kid locked down in the double stroller. Have you ever really seen anyone in a wheelchair waiting to get in? You can see where I¹m going with this?

The Family was in Wal- Mart this weekend looking for dress shoes for the little girl. She¹s the Flower Girl in my Brother¹s Wedding and she won¹t be wearing these shoes very long or again, so I can¹t justify spending 75.00 for them. But back to the point, sorry I can¹t seem to focus on the subject at hand even in my Blog.

We found the shoes yippee (for 7.00 no less). I whispered to my husband that I had to pee. Little Miss Big Ears heard me and said she did too (Damn it). She wanted Daddy to take her (so did Mommy) but Daddy is adamantly against that for safety reasons (ask him!) So in the bathroom I go with my shadow behind me singing and dancing and touching everything. I automatically head to the handicapped stall, because being in the other stall, with her, is like being in a Phone Booth with a caffinated feral cat. I, without being too graphic, had a problem while going so I¹m in there for a while. My daughter tells me that she doesn¹t have to go, so she¹s running around the stall and I¹m saying,"Stop That! Don¹t Touch! That's Icky..NO!" Then in between my discipline statements I hear a man¹s voice. What the hell, did the janitor come in? Is someone drunk in Wal- Mart? Once I get out of the stall I see this guy standing in front of one of the other stalls with a wheelchair, and the woman he was with moaning,"I just couldn¹t wait." Needless to say he gives me a dirty look, I sheepishly apologize and quickly escorted my jabber jaws out of there "Mommy why is that man in here, this is only for girls!"

I don't think you should feel bad. Lots of people use the handicapped stall in the public bathrooms. Cause Seriously,, and this is coming from very handicapped conscious me,,, how often do you really see a handicapped person in there. Don't feel bad,, all she had to do was say excuse me and ask you to hurry,, and also,, that's a reminder to everyone. Don't wait till the last minute to go the bathroom,, ya never know when the stalls are all in use and you have to wait,, handicapped or not.
