Ramblings About No More Library DVD's

About a year ago, Mom said no more to getting movies at the library. It sounds like a good idea to get the kids movies there, but the movies are inevitably not returned on time, and at a dollar per day per movie, the fines add up quickly. However, last Saturday Mom forgot why she quit getting kids movies at the library and picked up some cool educational movies for the children.

This afternoon (a day late) mom realized the movies needed to be returned. She drove up to the side of the library on her way to pick up Lydia and the babysitter from school, and asked Seth to hop out and put the movies in the book/DVD return slot. She watched him run across the grass and go to the big, wooden flag collection container instead of the book return slot. She yelled, "NO SETH... NOT THAT ONE" but of course he didn't turn around to ask "not that one what Mom," until after he threw the movies in the flag holder. Mom didn't have time to deal with it before going to the school. She decided to come back.

She picked up Lydia and the babysitter and drove back to the library. Of course, the library was closed due to budget cuts. While the babysitter was earning money for sitting in the van watching, Mom took apart the flag collection container (no flags inside) to retrieve the movies. Her back is still sore from putting the big wooden thing on it's side. However, no permanent damage was done to her back or the container.

She was glad to be done with her DVD headache until tonight. Lydia was very excited this evening when she said, "look Mom, I found the movie you needed." Mom returned one of the kids' movies instead of the library movies. She'll be going there in the morning to return the correct one and retrieve the other one.
