Well, well, well. Look who decided it was okay to take pictures today since she doesn't have on a Christmas dress. STINKER!




Today I am thankful for days like today. The girls played so sweetly all day. Annie was not insanely demanding of me to be holding her at all times. She was her normal, happy, playful self. I got a ton of work done this morning and then we all played outside for a while before lunch. After naps, we had playgroup and the girls were awesome there, too. They played together and had a wonderful time!! It was soooooooo refreshing and nice. So, so nice.

I had something happen today that totally pissed me off. Sorry Mom, but it did. Before playgroup, the girls and I stopped at the post office to mail some packages. I hate going to this post office because it is really small (which is actually nice because there is normally no one there) but only has one lady that is ever there working. She is the rudest person I have possibly ever come in contact with. I am always over the top nice to her thinking that surely she will crack and at least smile. She never does. She never replies when I thank her for her services. Nothing. Seriously, so rude. The only reason that I ever go there is because it is right by our house. So convenience overrules rudeness most days. Today it was really busy in there. I was holding Annie and Lucy was standing with me holding one of the packages. When it was finally our turn, we walked up to the counter. The lady was doing her thing and Lucy was standing right beside me. There is this little window right at the counter with cheapy mini blinds on it. Lucy was holding in her little hand the ball on the end of the string that you pull to raise the blinds. Holding it. Not pulling it or touching the blinds, simply looking at the ball on the string. She wasn't making any noise and she certainly wasn't being destructive in any way. I wasn't even paying close attention to her because I know that she would NEVER tear anything like that up. Ever. All of the sudden the lady yelled, and I do mean yelled loudly at poor Lucy. "Put that down right now little girl!! We just replaced those last week and you are not going to tear those up!" It was so embarrassing for Lucy. She just inched over to me and hid her head. I bent down and kissed her head and told her that I knew she would never hurt those blinds and that she certainly wasn't in trouble. We promptly paid and left. To make it worse, the small office was full of people, which embarrassed Lucy even more. When I turned around to leave, three women looked at me with a look of horror of how that woman had just acted. I am mad just thinking about it. The nerve of her to yell at my child who was doing nothing out of line and was behaving perfectly despite the fact that it was packed and we had waited forever.

Off to watch my shows. So nice to have my work for the day done so that I can enjoy them.
