I think I might be a mean person

I don't really know if I am a mean person or not, but sometimes I feel like it. Especially when it seems like I have really negative thoughts about people or things they do. And I don't mean just random people; I mean people I see/deal with on a regular, daily basis. (And no, I don't mean you, my one reader!) For example, there is a lady I work with (not associated with the Nosy Bodies post) who fell this morning when she was going up the steps. Now, I felt horrible for her when it happened (I saw her do it). Thankfully, she was fine. Nothing was broken, just a little - and I do mean little - scrape and maybe a bruise on her forearm. It certainly could have been A LOT worse. But she's fine. Any guesses as to what I've heard about ALL DAY? I mean ALL DAY.

I suppose I'm not as mean as I might think since I'm not voicing the thoughts that have run through my head (such as, "SHUT UP! IT'S OVER!!! YOU'RE FINE, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE AND MARY!!!!) I suppose venting here makes me a little nicer. I just feel mean since I think like that. Am I?

Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart, in my opinion, is one of those necessary evils. I hate the place, but I have to shop there. Unfortunately, the prices are lower overall than other places and if I have a great deal of shopping to do, that's where I have to do it. One of the reasons I dislike Wal-Mart is that they have been instrumental in putting a lot of little guys out of business. I can say I don't blame small towns for wanting to keep Wally-world out. Eufaula, for example, has fought tooth and nail to keep Wal-Mart out of there. There is a Super Center in McAlester and a smaller, original Wal-Mart in...I think it's Henryetta and maybe even Checotah. That's close enough for the people of Eufaula. And, as a result, a lot of the little businesses get to stay in business. Other things that drives me nuts about Wal-Mart are: the way people (who apparently LOVE to be there) just mosey around, they stand in aisles and block the flow of other shoppers, they look at you like you're an idiot if you actually try to move around them to complete your own shopping, the way people who have no clue what they're doing use the self-checkout lines. Wow. Oh...and the people outside looking for parking who will watch me go to my car with a basket full of stuff - AND A TODDLER - and they WAIT, blocking traffic, just to have a parking spot 3-5 places from the front. And more often than not, they look at me like I need to hurry up. That makes me want to put my stuff in the car, take my child and the shopping cart and GO BACK INSIDE.

I could probably go on for days about Wal-Mart. But, since the only person who will probably ever read this has heard me say these things before, I'll stop.

Things I can't wait to do today

1.) Grab my baby and give him a kiss and hug! Then fill up his cup a half dozen times and fix him dinner and snacks and change pants and give a him a bath and say his prayers and watch him drift off to sleep.

2.) Watch Grey's Anatomy (new 2 hour show - yea!)

3.) Read 1.5 pages of my book and fall asleep.

Time keeps on dragging, dragging, dragging...

Seriously, this day is going by so slowly I'm starting to think it's yesterday. I'm having one of those days when I don't have much of anything to do and I feel like it's a complete waste of my time to be here - except, of course, for the money part. I suppose I shouldn't complain that I'm making money to do not too much. I think one usually considers herself a government employee to be able to make that statement, but I don't happen to be. The past few days I have been pretty busy and time went pretty quickly. Today is killing me.
