Allergies

Well we all survived Memorial Day weekend...some less exhausted than others.  I think my husband and my father-in-law could sleep for an entire day & still feel tired!

Now it will go all quiet till Thursday when we hit record 80* weather...(the shop tends to be quiet during the week till kids are out of school).

I managed to reprimand 2 groups of children in the 10 minutes I was outside during open hours, God bless them that I wasn't outside more than I was.  I picture myself needing a whistle around my neck and a whip in my hand!

Violations included:

1) Hanging on 1 of our 35 (labor intensive) new signs/signposts for parking.  Said words: "Could you not hang on that sweetie, we don't want to break it." Preferred: "God gave you two feet- now STAND on them child!"

2) A tribe of children running up & down creating a circular track w/ the handicap ramp (ok...) then pushed my limit by using the very expensive railings on either side as parallel bars (as in gymnastics). Said words: "Can you guys not run on this, it's our handicap ramp & we don't want to break the railings, (shamed faces 'cause they know better), thank you." Preferred words: "Were you and your parents raised by wolves, there is an ACRE of field to run in out back-WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?!")

3) Comment to Doug: "you have too many handicap spaces" (3 out of 40+ spaces) Doug's response: (so shocked no reply).  My preferred reply: "Come over here and let me break your two legs & see if you still think so!"

I'll stick to my dog, thanks. (really I have to blame the parents too-if you can't control your kids, put 'em on a leash till you train them...same as my dog! Or stop reproducing.)

Why lay on my bed when Mama's sheets are on the floor waiting for wash...(she thinks they're dirty, I think they smell...just right....)
