There isn't enough money in the world to PAY me to deal with other peoples' children, especially in this day and age where they, (and I mean the parents) freak out about everything to do with their little princes and princesses.<br />We have a hummingbird feeder outside and when it was empty the other day one of our frequent users was hovering outside our kitchen window while I made more sugar water. It was just watching me through the window like, uh, excuse me, can you hurry up? I'm hungry out here and you so failed to keep your side of the bargain.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804070379647511925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-6663888884341626742014-06-21T05:07:15.357-07:002014-06-21T05:07:15.357-07:00Pfft, oh honey - it's OK....it's all OK. I...Pfft, oh honey - it's OK....it's all OK. I'm still trying to figure out how folks think I'm mature enough to handle religious ritual when it never fails that SOMETHING goes wrong. As for money - like most poor folks, yeah it'd be nice to have more but I do worry that it would ruin friendships and the ethical compass I worked so hard to instill in the kids. (and yes, that DID come with the compassion barometer - SCORE!) <br /><br />If I remember correctly, there is that little old adage that has served well and saved me heartache - "1.) Don't sweat the petty stuff. 2.) Don't pet the sweaty stuff 3.)It's all petty stuff 4.) No. 2 is optional in certain situations."<br /><br />If anything, write in on a sticky note, put it in your wallet and it'll make you grin just when you think your smile muscles were botoxed by an evil, mad dermatologist in your sleep. Hugs! <br />And, oh yeah - we'll make it. Someone's gotta keep the masses entertained in Avalon....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333942880440076517noreply@blogger.com
