When did that happen…..

I thought I would go and do a good thing for my grand-daughter.  I took her to Best Buy and bought her an MP3 player, so that the waiting in all the emergency rooms would not be so tedious.  After convincing her that she really didn’t want a $200 MP3 player, and that the $50 one would work just as good, I went to the checkout line.  Waiting patiently in line, as I have been getting a lot of practice lately from waiting for doctors, it was my turn next.

I walked up to the register and there was a male, 20 something year old, cashier, ringing up my purchase. At the end of the purchase a female, about 16, bumped into me and said, “Oh, excuses me, mam!”  I took this with a grain of salt because I thought she was just being polite.  But as I turned back to the cashier, he handed me my bag and said, “Here you go sweetie.”

My first thought was, how cute, he’s flirting with a cougar, then it went to, wow he’s getting pretty fresh, and then the last split second thought came rambling through my little brain with a loud crash, WHEN DID I BECOME A BLUE HAIRED OLD LADY?????  

Hello world!

A Glass Half Full of Yin and Yang

I guess first impressions count here too, so here I go.  I’m a mother of three, and a grandmother of many.  I’m supposed to know everything, even more than a mother, and have so many words of wisdom.  I’m supposed to give my opinion, but don’t bud in.  Supposed to guide my children in the right direction, but don’t tell them anything.  Stop fights between siblings, while not taking sides.   Take care of many financially, but don’t leave the house to get a job.  Be in two places at one time, but give all my attention to the one place I am.  Wear my super hero cape, but not take it off to wash it.  And there you have me in a paragraph.

So many thoughts are streaming into my mind of what this blog should be about that I’m trying to corral them into one direction.  But the world is so crazy right now and everything is negative that I figured I should at least try to give back some positive thinking into the karma of the world.  So here we go, off to see the wizard on my own yellow brick road.
