Things Aren’t Always As They Seem

I'm naughty.

TCBOTB

I confess...

  • So I lost it a couple of week ago at a lady at the store.
  • She was the second person in a week to ask if all my kids were mine.
  • The first one was the standard, "Do you run a daycare?"
  • Gets under my skin!!
  • I responded, "Nope, I just called around and rounded up all the kids I could that were under seven so I could take them out to dinner by myself."
  • She just stared at me.
  • I should have paid more attention.
  • Then I could go back and say how sorry I was for yelling at her.
  • But really, why do people say stupid things!!
  • I am a whiner and I hate whiners.
  • Funny isn't it.
  • I think everyone else should get a grip.
  • See I don't think the world is out there to help me.
  • Aren't I a ray of sunshine?
  • I need something sweet.
  • I hear thunder.
  • Now I am smiling.
  • Mood swings anyone?

hahaha, seriously love it. I get asked if I run a daycare all the time. In front of my adopted kids. That must do wonders for their self-esteem. Why do people need to know every little thing about your life? It's not like they care about you, they're just curious. I think everyone should take a big dose of 'mind your own beeswax.'

Your response was brilliant.

Thanks for playing!

It ticks me off when I get asked that or asked, "You're done now aren't you?" I have 3 kids! And you know what, maybe I'm done, maybe I'm not. Whats it to ya! I don't see you over here raising them. Ugh, some people can be so annoying. And yes, we are totally cool! :)

I always need something sweet, have mood swings and rarely go out in public with my 3 kids due to the stares I seem to get. Plus, I feel like I need to apologize to everyone for venturing out!

People like that deserve a smack! You had great restraint!

Seriously stacey you need to go back and find that lady and appologize, or you'll never be able to sleep lol. Obviously if she was so stupid as to ask you the daycare question (which isn't nearly as clever as people seem to think it is) then she is way too stupid to realize that you were ticked off at her. Chalk it up to a life lesson that she obviously didn't get and at least you did your best to help her learn better social skills (you can't change the world alone, you know)
