My Heart Grew Three Sizes Today

I've had some really bad luck at work lately with a big job I've been working. It's gradually got me down...and then this weekend hit. Friday everything was looking good. Saturday everything went to crap. Today, it really went into the toilet. I worked both days this weekend--clawing, scratching, jumping through hoops, knocking down walls, calling people into work for help...and it got me right back to where I started. Needless to say, I was really pissed off and frustrated when I left work. It sure didn't feel like Christmas is in a few days. I felt like the Grinch.


What do I do when I feel crappy? I go to Starbucks!! I sat in the drive-through line, getting even more irritated because it was moving sooooo slooooowwwww...and then something unexpected happened.

When I pulled to the window in a huff, the cashier handed me my drink and then refused my card. I was confused. He said it wasn't necessary because the person in front of me had paid for my drink. In fact, the person before that guy bought his drink! I was a part of a chain of people buying the next person in line's drink--I was so surprised and touched! Of course, I kept it going.
After the shitty past few days and the way today ended at work, this one deed put a smile on my face. It was really cool to be part of something like that. My heart grew three sizes!

Stuff Just Keeps Coming Out Of Our Mouths!

• "Who farted?" "It wasn't me--I ran out of gas."


• "Brandon, you can't bring that rock home. Millions of years from now, scientists will be confused how a Midlothian rock ended up in Gloucester."


• "You should've seen the big frog in the pond last year--he was big enough to eat! But that darn hawk beat me to it..."


• "Can you move your butt out of the way? It's blocking my signal."


• "It's disappointing to attack a booger and come out with nothing on your finger."


• "I have opposable thumbs. I use tools when I can."


• "Look Mom! I licked my eyeball!"

Pathetic

This is our bull-headed boy, who is stubborn as a mule and just doesn't care what anyone thinks about him:



This is yesterday's picture of that same little boy who can't seem to stop peeing in his pants at preschool (yes, that is girl clothes--for humiliation):


I'd post a picture of what he looked like today, but don't need any more pervs...he came home wearing only a diaper and his jacket. In 30-degree weather. And he just doesn't care...
