Shopping Hell

I loathe shopping with a capital L. It"s an evil necessity though. I had to stop at Fred's the other day. From the back of the store I could hear a child screeching and whining and the mother screeching back. When I came around the corner of an aisle she grabbed the little girl, about three years old, by the arm roughly and jerked her up into her arms cursing VERY loudly. "Dicchu mother f%^&$ng here what I telled you?" Then they were heading out the door, there were quarter machines that caught the child's eye and she started a loud whining again "I want!!!" To which she responding promptly screaming "I'm going to kick your a$$ now shut your mf'n mouth!!"
My boys were just a whiney as any other child but I NEVER cursed at them and could not imagine jerking them around. After a few trips to the restroom and swats on the behind they learned whining or making a scene did not get them what they wanted.
If there was ever a kid that deserved a public flogging it was me, I lived for irritating the people I love. Still do as a matter of fact :-) One time at a drug store I was giving my mother fits, just playfully agitating....She swatted at me so dropped to my knees and started pleading in a VERY loud voice "MOTHER DON'T PLEASE DON'T BEAT ME AGAIN! PLLLEASE! NO MOTHER!" Bless her heart she let me live and didn't cuss me!! Can you imagine. And that was just last week, not really i guess i was about 9 or 10.
When my oldest son and my stepdaughter punched holes through the package of chicken feet to "feel them" and then thought that was cool and had poked holes in about eight packages before I caught them, they were not cussed or hit. They did though have to stand there while waiting for the Meat Manager to come out and apologize to him and then some very serious house cleaning when we got home. It's not that I didn't want to beat them, I did very much want to, but there is such a thing as self control. Seems a lot of people do not have a sense of this I guess.

For those of you that are thinking 'what do you expect at a Fred's'. Sorry folks I've seen this behavior at EVERY store at one time or another.

Got Guilt?

Only went in to the office for a little while today. Fibromyalgia is whispering in my ear today, hopefully resting for a while will keep it from screaming.
I was feeling a little guilty for it. We own the company so there's no one to make me feel that way but it's still there. A little guilt can be a good thing, too much can cripple. There is plenty out there to help everybody along too. Read the newspaper, watch the news, read up on the"latest research".

Guilt for attending a particular church or not attending any.

Guilt for being a working mother or a stay at home mom.

Guilt for spanking your child for:(insert whatever) or not spanking for:(insert whatever)

Guilt for eating that extra slice of bacon or GASP: your steak was the size of a saucer instead of a deck of cards.

for being pro-life or pro-choice

pro-war or con-war

proconWHATEVER!!

Guilt does serve some purpose in small doses, but God (my own personal belief, no offense meant) doesn't want us to be dragging this weight around anymore than overwhelming worry.
I've decided I'm going to do better in this area, I refuse to feel really guilty about things anymore. A little guilty but NOT "really" guilty.

How about you, Got Guilt?

I've added a link. YAHOO!! I think I just may have this figured out.

it's stop the aclu. I've thought for years they are becoming more and more of a detriment to our society than a help.
now I know my joining a blog is not going to rock their world, but, it's a start for me to begin in some way making some changes, if for no other reason than my own education and a darn good reason to rant.
so be warned you worms, I'm arming myself with an educated opinion!!

God Bless to all!!
if that offends you well to dang bad.

randomness

allo everybody!!!! (worm's voice from labyrinth). HA! nobody remembers that.

if somebody had told me a year ago i would enjoy blogging or surf other blogs i would have thought they JUST DID NOT KNOW ME. recently though i've done a lot of blog surfing. it began as reading military blogs, having a very deep desire to understand how things are there, the stuff that doesn't make the news, or if it does it's pretty one sided. then it went into following links on everything.

the variety of content out there is amazing. in just one hour you can go to laughing so hard you cry, to truly crying crying. but more importantly they've made me more aware of the world around me, war, government, my state, my family, just everything. i've not considered myself too self-centered, what i mean by that is not being an egotistic type self centered but an isolationist type. lately i have to question this.

well that's as clear as i'm able to make it with my feeble attempt at putting into words what is in my head.

some random thoughts of today....
i'm going to write a book. HA! yeah right. really would like to but not going to happen.

we can't afford to have insurance we can't afford not.

i'm going to have one son in L.A. and one in Fla. AHHHHHHH!!!!

i'm ready for another trip to new york.

he is SO lucky mr. c won't let me fire folks! or fire at them!

i hate my job.

i love my job.

i;m still waiting on my own personal flying machine or better my own time machine.

hate that i missed the nikleback (sp?) concert but i guess i'm just too old for those now.

i'm getting old ::gasp!
