1000 mg of "chill" and Toddler Truths

Soo usually I post on things happening in my life, or mainly Nolan's...but TONIGHT, I thought I would just share a piece of my mind.. :) (cue venting)

Too often lately, I have noticed that people in general really just need to CHILL OUT. For some reason, well, let me re-phrase that, I am sure there are MANY reasons why people are in a bad mood... I will be the first one to admit that I DEFINITELY have those days, but COME ON PEOPLE, we are ALL going through different battles, yet can still CHOOSE how we let those affect us.
(now cue long story, so skip past this part if you're in a rush)
Last week I was driving through a shopping center, and came to a place that needs to be a four way stop. BUT for whatever reason, it isn't. So more than once, I have stopped and anticipated the other person is going to stop and started going, and then have to stop short because they are going...ok NOT that big of a deal..we all have done it. Is that the best driving tip? By no means no. But I stop immediately and am not in the way. So on a day where I have done this yet again, I again, stop immediately and say, well mouth, "Oh soorryy  :/" in return, this lovely lady mouthed..."LEARN HOW TO DRIVE, YOU MOTHER (explicit)..." then flips me off...     WOW... I mean, was that at all necessary.

Then in Costco yesterday, as I was talking to the sample girl about how her day was going being the lucky girl that gets to pass out the ROASTED SEAWEED...gag....a lady, loudly exclaims behind me..."Move it!!"   Ohhh, no, did she just say that?? I said, "You COULD have said excuse me.." She whips around and says " [pause with a dirty look] Ex-ca-UUSE YYOOU "    another wow. 

I am blown away by people!!! Take a chill pill, and try to enjoy life a little more...it would not only make you feel better, but the others around you as well...

And now very quickly for the TODDLER TRUTHS

As we were running to the park today, Nolan says behind me "haha .. Mommy's belllyyy"

I have now decided to put BOTH of these on my nightstand.
