This and that......

A few random thoughts:
- On our way home from Chicago, we stopped at a gas station. I saw a family get out of a BMW SUV. It was a mom, a dad, a two year old and an infant. Mom was in the back seat with the baby and the little boy was in the front seat. In a booster seat. As the parent of a 3 year old, I know that child was no where near tall enough or heavy enough for that seat AND it was in the front. Why are people so stupid!???? I'm sure the mom was feeding the baby in the back or consoling it or something so squish in between the 2 car seats. Or pull over and do what you need to do. So, they will probably get in a wreck and their kid will be injured so they will sue the carseat manufacturer and BMW. Again I say, people are stupid.
- I am overweight and out of shape and this weekend in Chicago proved it. After walking around all day on Saturday I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Really. I thought I might have the flu because my body hurt so much.
- I had a croissant and chocolate milk for breakfast and it was $17.00. It was good, but maybe not $17.00 good.
- I had a hamburger and fried for $27.00 and it might have been $27.00 good.
- I missed Parker and Jack like crazy but they did just fine without me. That is good. Very good.
- I bought a lot of Legos at the Legos store.
- Parker would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Legos store.
- The Field Museum has a Star Wars exhibit which I have to take Parker to. He will be in seventh heaven.
- I hate crowds.
- I had my first experience with the Cheesecake Factory and I am looking forward to having more experiences with them. We just had cheesecake and it was unbelievably good.
- We also went here which was totally cool. Unlike anything I have ever experienced or even heard of. Very gluttonous. But yummy! Vegetarians should stay far, far away.
- It is very easy to get lost in a big city.
- Even when you kind of know where you are going.
- What happens in Chicago stays in Chicago.
- Especially when it involves a school board.
- Middle-aged women dirty dancing is funny at first, then it's a little sad, then it's downright uncomfortable.
- I hope I'm never a middle-aged woman who dirty dances.
- Especially to bad karaoke.
- I hate the House of Blues.
- I hope we don't have to go there next year.
- But I bet we do.
- Parker FINALLY got into the first name club. (You are admitted when you can right your name in perfect D'Nealian handwriting.)
- He was the 17th kid in his class to make it.
- There are 22 kids in his class.
- Thank goodness ability to write has no bearing on I.Q.
- I'm itching to put up Christmas decorations.
- Maybe tomorrow.
Have a GREAT day!
