Friday the 13th, June 2008

This is my first day with my new blog....lets see what happens!!
I have been recently inspired to start my own after reading the blogs of 2 women who are very skilled at describing their everyday lives!! Thought it was worth a shot.
Friday the 13th. I should have know better than to venture out of the house to get a few errands done today. Especially in a town that I often find challenging to navigate. Unfortunatly not due to the landscape but the people. My son and I made our first stop to purchase 2 mens shirts for fathers day. Once again should have know better than to venture into a store known to be busy and slightly cluttered. In short order we had what we came for but the check out process turned out to be the callenge. My son decided that he had to pee!! In a store with no public restrooms of course! We made our way the front and chose our spot 3rd in line. Why when one is in a hurry do the people in front magiclly turn everythinkg into a MAJOR production?????? Thist separtate from that and pay for this with that and not the other....blah blah. 2nd in line had one thing money in hand...perfect! Till couple #1 didn't move away from the confined check out area and decided to have a very long look at socks, after the already complicated check out...let shop some more and stand in the way of the small boy holding his penis!! Some one else saw us waiting and decided that she should go ahead of us. Thanks a pant load. All the while we stood. Queitly and not in anyones way, yet still in the line up. As we were on aproach to the check out another person comes swooping in and decides to announce that she was indeed next...... NOT EVEN CLOSE LADY!! I loudly and anoyedly proclaimed that she was not and took my turn. It would seem that taking my turn after waiting nicely is a shocking thing to these people as they all stopped with stunned looks on their faces. WHY???? How many people am I suposed to let in the line?? Would you like to let everyone go first and have a small boy pee on the floor? Wouold that have satisfied anyone!! I have spent a great deal of time teacing my 3 kids manners and to be polite. Is that all in vain? No one seems to abide by that anymore. I now need to go back and teach them come hell or high water stand up and don't allow anyone to walk all over them. TAKE YOUR PLACE IN LINE! No matter what 'line' it may be. Have respect for others and yourself too!
