This is Africa!

Monday is shopping day. We always SAY we will leave at 8:00am.. but of course that never happens. This week's Monday morning was even more eventful than normal though!

At 8:30 Sarah and I met Heather at the car. We all hopped in the car first. Donovan came out and suggested that we take the van instead. Now, the van is recently known for not starting properly. And by "properly" I mean at all! So feeling a little nervous that we might be stuck at the grocery store we agreed. After we loaded into the van, it wouldn't start! So we loaded back into the car. Heather put some bags in the back and, oh no!, it wouldn't shut! It had recently suffered in a wreck and we didn't know until that moment, but whatever causes it to latch shut wasn't working.

We spent 45 minutes trying to shut this thing people! I wish you could have seen each of us taking turns trying it out. All you can do is laugh... it's a Monday.. in Africa! 

We called someone who knew how to shut it and he would tell Donovan, "Push hard! Push Gently! Don't slam it! Push harder!" Sarah and I were rolling with laughter by the end of it all! "You're getting blogged about, Donovan!" Heather said. And she was right!

At 9:15, when we were finally headed to the grocery store, Heather shrugged,"Hey! TIA! This is Africa!" And it's true :)

We did eventually get the door to shut, just fyi :) We had to put down the back seats though and slide the groceries in from there! I'm sure anyone who saw us in the parking lot had a good laugh.. but that's okay because we did too!! :)
