Okay I get that life throws those moments at ya that leave you scratching your head.

Last week we received a notice from the city that the roof on our rental property needed to be pressure washed. No big deal..right? Here in lies the rub..we have been in a drought and water restrictions are in play...yet the city
wants us to waste water washing a roof. The kicker is if you waste water..you could get fined...if we hadn't washed the roof..we could be fined. I love bureaucracry.


I had to pick up some gifts, so I go to Marshall's, I use a cart while shopping..I pay..I leave the store..I get out the door and 3 ft from the door the cart wheels lock up..so that you can't steal the cart...if I needed the cart to shop
it's a really good probability I need the damn thing to bring my bags to my truck. I expected the shopping cart elves to appear and wrestle me to the ground. yeesh

We opened a thrift store, it's going well. I have had my eyes open though. It says "Thrift" on the big store window.
Not consignment. Not Macy's or Target..Thrift. So this woman comes in, I am talking to my friend, I stop and acknowledge her. She combs the whole store. Comes back up front and says to us "What exactly is the store about"?
Now I can't even look at my girl because I know she's gawking at this lady and I'll start laughing. I say" Excuse me"? Like the racks of clothes, shoes, housewares, furniture,books, etc. wasn't a clue. Well what kind of store is it? A store that sells gently used things. Where do you get them from? "Many places,"I say. Now my friend is slack jawed and I am going to bust from stifling myself.
"But where"? she says. I basically refuse to answer cuz i don't want to play anymore. Can I help you find something?
No, I saw your ad and wanted to see what is was all about.
"Okay",she says, bye. I now look at my friend who is sitting there shaking her head and she says WTF was that?
My new venture in life.


My grand baby girl was in the store the other day because she wasn't feeling well. Funny thing is she never stopped moving, climbing, yelling, or ripping apart the room filled with baby stuff. She had a double ear infection and a sinus infection. I had a headache. She wasn't behaving and her aunt told her a few times to stop and behave or she was going to tell her Mom. Well she pushed the last button and her aunt went to get my other daughter. Baby was behind my chair in the office, she says Nani, Nani, I say what? she says ooo ooo I in trawbubble and runs in the bathroom..laughing. I damn near fell out..laughing myself.

I'm sitting here contemplating my day that will begin in a few hours. I think of my grand baby girl riding home with her Dad, when he realizes she is wearing her Hello Kitty lunchbox on her head, laughing. I am thinking of youngest
my GC crawling around and my husband laying on the floor, the 2 of them nose to nose. I'm thinking of my OGC who will be starting kindergarten this fall and suddenly he doesn't look so big, he looks like the baby with the big brown eyes who snuggles with me to watch his favorite kids show.
