Pretty good lookin' man... Pretty grounded boy.

 Today at work this man came in. He's a regular customer. He was chatting about how he'd went to get his chew, and the lady asked to see his ID. Once she read his ID she looked at him and told him You look pretty good for a man of almost 67 years! He told her thank you and said that he asked for 2 cans instead... Later on that night he and his wife were at dinner. He was telling her about the compliment he received, earlier in the day at the smoke shop. Oh I know which store you went to! His wife told him You do? he said Which one? The one that old BLIND lady works in! his wife replied. I am pretty sure I could write a whole book, about nothing but funny stories I have heard from customers!

 Then when work is about over, I realize my son has walked away from home. Destiny was watching him and Hannah, when Bailey got upset and said he was going to walk to daddy's work. Destiny blew him off and I guess figured he'd walked to the gas station with his 5$ prize left from the tooth fairy last night.

 At 2pm my mom calls, asking if I had Bailey now. He had been up at HER WORK getting a soda!? You have to cross like the busiest intersection IN our town to get to my moms work, which he is not allowed to do... As if  you didn't know this. Hell I dont even like to cross a street like that. O M G so of course all my hair is instantly grey. I have no brown left in my head.

 We found the boy, obviously or I would not be patiently sitting at my computer blogging. I would be frantic. So anyway turns out he went back to my moms work, and she called me. Tim went and got him. When I got home he was hiding under his desk. I talked to him and told him to get some lunch. We talked about what he could have done, when he was upset, and what he had BETTER do the next time, instead of walking all over God know's where alone and nobody know it.

 Later he asked me to get him something, and I told him to do it himself, he said oh well I kind of thought I would not be allowed to leave my room for at least the night. Out of all my kids, Bailey is always the one who admits he was wrong, says he is sorry and really, honestly means it.

 So of course in the heat of it all, Destiny made time to ask all of facebook if they have seen her brother, who is missing...(and facebook is a good outlet for missing kids so it was not a dumb idea) I figure why not share with my blog, and facebook since they already know through Destiny. Promise even called, asking if Bailey was home, and seeming worried. Go figure. They do love each other, and even worry about one another. Huh. Who knew?!

 Oh and have I mentioned today is not even nearly over? Yeah its just now 4pm. I do believe I will partake in some pucker and diet sprite here shortly... They have driven me to drinking!

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
