Seriously?!

Are people really that oblivious and rude?!!?

Today I went to pick up Owen from pre-school and on the way Laci fell asleep. I was soo tempted to just leave her in the car while I quickly ran in, but I knew something would probably go wrong if I did. So I picked her up and carried her around to get Jane. I'm carrying Laci with my right arm and Jane in her carseat in my left arm. Not really easy, but I was getting it done.

I was planning in my mind how I was going to get through the gate that's in front of the classroom that you push over to open/close. As I walked around the corner of the building I saw that the gate was locked. (Oh great I thought!) But then I saw that a woman was sitting outside another classroom. I thought (Perfect, she'll come over and help me open the gate) but did she...NO!!! She totally ignored me, didn't even look up, and I walked right in front of her! Then as I get closer to the gate another parent comes out with their child, opens the gate, and then closes AND locks it!!!! Seriously! I know you saw me because we just made eye contact! RUDE! Wow, I couldn't believe it. I cannot believe people can be so unhelpful! I was so frustrated!

And speaking of being frustrated, here's another story. Although this one is cute.

Yesterday we got out of the house and into the van late to take Owen to school. I wasn't happy and was sharing my disappointment & frustration with the kids. As we got down the road Owen speaks up and says "Mom, you just need to get over it." He wasn't rude or sassy, he was 'just saying'. I laughed and said "You know what Owen, you're right. I do just need to get over it and move on." I guess sometimes our kids do here our criticisms/lectures we give. :) Oh, and a little while down the road he asks "Are you over it now Mom?" I say "Yes bud, I'm over it" Then he says "Yep, it just takes about 2 minutes and then you get over it."

It was a good lesson for me to hear that day, and now that I read this, it's good for me today as well. ")
