    A certain child was crying about my insistence on wearing shoes to play outside. I went to check the mailbox without my shoes on. I hurt my foot. Said child starts laughing hysterically through their tears as they see me hobble up the walkway. My mother’s curse came true. I have a kid just like me. I don’t mind though.

    Went to the grocery store with kids and was irrationally jealous of the lady behind me, about my age, obviously professional, single, no kids, well put together buying salad and kitty litter. I know I know...count my blessings. Perhaps she's jealous of me too. i just imagine her returning to a peaceful apartment in the city, alone and peaceful.

      Absolutely! I told myself that the whole time :)

      I think the screaming toddler precluded the senior discount! :)

      Evidently I need some peace! Substitute nicely decorated, clean, and neat apartment for the peaceful apartment.

    Beautiful moonset this morning. I enjoyed watching from my living room.

      My toddler is obsessed with the moon! Try explaining to a newly two year old why there's no moon when there was last night, and why it has moved. "Moon gone gone and moon night night is what we've settled on.

    Our car dies and when we go to look for a used car to buy, people look at us funny when I explain I really need a car with a CD player. Why? To play and replay our stash of Great Course audio cds!

      Is there something that will work to allow me to play cds via Bluetooth?

    Dog is dying. Hubby and I having a hard discussion today.

      So sorry! Have had to put down two dogs in past few years. I utilized the bacon test... if I could put bacon, or something equally tasty, under dogs nose, and he didn't really react, it is time.

    Never thought I'd be praying for my kitty to die, but I am. I just don't want to put her down. It will devastate my son.

      I'm so sorry. I did that with my dog last spring. I just prayed and hoped I'd find him having passed peacefully in his sleep.
