People are strange

I have to take a break from packing/cleaning/getting ready for vacation. I did a little a few days ago, but now it's crunch time. I have come to the understanding that I will forget something. I'm packing for four, so I usually remember every ones things except my own. I have to put those worries out of my mind right now though, that's why this is a break.

You know what I want to know? Why do people feel the need to back into parking spots in a crowded parking lot?? It's one thing if it were a quick maneuver, but when it is a project and every other car has to stop and wait I get quite irritated. I really feel as if they think they are the only people in the world and the rest of us have all day to watch them perform this task. It's rude.just stop.
People are strange. And they volunteer a lot of information to someone with a baby. Don't believe me? I'll let you borrow Madeline in a store. Sure people stop to talk to the baby and ask how old she is. I get that. But, I'm talking beyond what you would talk to a stranger about.
Just a few examples...
I had a lady tell me today that she wishes her son would stop running around with floozies and give her a grand baby! Really, lady? Who uses the word floozy anymore?
 A lady in Target told me she wishes she could talk her husband into having another baby. Errrrm, if you have to talk him into it, I don't think it's a very good idea.
A little old lady stopped me in Giant to say that she always wanted to have children, but it never happened and that she prayed every day for god to bring her a child. That brought me down.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I am shopping within that SAHM and Elderly time frame. Or maybe I just have that look about me that I will listen.
My husband says it happens to him all the time too....maybe that's why we were attracted to each other. *smile*

Well, I have posted about this before, but now more than ever...I am completely addicted to craigslist. This is probably how hoarders start out....and if you saw our garage, we are already half way there. But, I actually sold the dining room table and chairs on there today! It was so quick and easy. We purchased a larger/more my style set a few days before....on CL and the guy happened to be only a few doors down with a hardly used table and chairs. I have also acquired some new toys for Madeline that she has not even been able to see yet because they are in Mommy's special, magical 10 hour car ride bag! Yep, I was given the advice that never-before-seen toys do magical things during a car ride meltdown. We shall see.

I'm a little nervous about the ride to MB this year, actually. There are a couple factors...our 7 month old being the biggest and then the fact that there is a possible hurricane we could run into along our way. BUT, I shall remain positive with happy, rainbow, glitter thoughts that everything will be just fine.
