Handicapped

I'm handicapped, get around in a wheelchair. I've been surprised by the number of insensitive people! The motorcycle drivers that find the lines convenient to park. The man parked in a handicap space while his wife runs into the store for a minute. NO women can run into any store for a minute! The man boy who parks half in handicap space and half in the lines. The shopper who parks their grocery cart on the lines even though the cart return is one space over! Then the big trucks that park blocking the ramp causing my daughter to lift the wheelchair over the curb! Then on the positive side people who hold automatic doors open for you.

Family reunions

We are having our yearly family reunion this coming week! You love your siblings, that's an unwritten rule. Your siblings choice of a mate, makes you think, what! In laws!

Ferris Wheels

When I was younger I loved thrill rides! I liked fast and scary rides at fairs, etc. The one ride I refuse to ride is the Ferris wheel! You're up at the top, and have time to observe the little screws and bolts that hold it together.

Our little town had a small carnival in the summer just up the street. It was fun to watch them set up, until we were sitting watching rides being set up and 3 or 4 juvenile delinquents my husband worked with had a job putting the rides together! There went my confidence!

Now today on the news an 11 year old girl fell out of a Ferris wheel to her death! Then the news told of other deaths from falling out and dying from Ferris wheels! Now that I'm older and wiser I don't care to ride! Last time I rode a roller coaster I remember thinking if I get out of this alive, I'll never do this again!

Summer Vacation

Make sure you give your kids time to have a vacation! Parents READ to your kids 20 minutes a day! I taught school for 16 years and the first few days of school you could basically tell which kids had parents (not just the mom) who had read to them and read with them!

Thursday

Probably the best thing about Thursday is that it's Friday eve!

Little Things!

I think it's weird that really important things are so small, but so easy and frightening to lose: credit cards, business cards, and cell phones! Babies are small but way easy to find!
