My Take on Everything

I am a single mom teaching Kindergarten full-time somewhere in Oregon. What follows are periodic musings & observations of life in general. It is my hope that I may be able to simultaneously rant & provide spurts of entertainment. Enjoy!

Smoky Bars

Now I'm not into the bar scene & generally feel like a fish out of water when I'm in one, so perhaps this anecdote won't be amusing to some of you. However, to paraphrase an oldie, it's my blog & I'l write what I want to! Went out with a girlfriend the other night to hear a friend who's in a band play in one of the local sports bars. This place was SMOKY; I think I got enough secondhand smoke to last me the rest of my life. The place was loaded with video poker machines & I noticed a lady, probably in her late 50s, sitting with her back to us at one. She really got my attention not when she won a jackpot of $600, but when I saw that she was on OXYGEN! What is wrong with this picture????? Some people are so stupid, they really should not be taking up the valuable air space that the rest of us need. I didn't know whether to ridicule her stupidity or ask her for a hit!

WTF?--part 3

So, yesterday we were at Safeway & I was waiting at the Starbucks kiosk, which was taking awhile as they were busy. I looked down & my son had his pants & underwear COMPLETELY PULLED DOWN. What the f--- was this? It was like the Vienna sausage aisle visits Starbuck's. I was MORTIFIED! I asked the young lady, who happened to be an employee on her break, if perhaps he had urinated on the floor, thinking that that MUST be the reason behind this exhibition, but apparently not. I tell you, that would have been one fast getaway if he had. (No, not really...I would have let them finish making my latte & THEN split!) What was he thinking?
