only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
Oh, what a trip to the store today!
Everyone who lives around here expects backed up traffic and single lane roads during the summer when road crews are filling potholes and paving. It’s the price we pay after all the snow and salt-treated roads. And it’s better than losing a tire in a pot hole.
Today, though, was exceptionally slow. It wasn’t just the road crews, either. I just seemed to get behind every driver out for a leisurely ride. When your main roads are all two-lane and twist and turn, you do not want to get behind a 90 year old guy in a 1987 Crown Vic going 37 MPH in a 55 zone. It wasn’t any better when I found myself behind a truck filled to overflowing with cattle supplies for the farm out the road. Even if I could have found a safe place to pass him, I was too afraid that something would fall off that truck and land on me.
Don’t get me wrong. I respect old people (especially since I’m almost there myself) and I appreciate what farmers do. I just don’t want to drive behind them, especially when it’s the temps are in the 90s and I’m trying to save gas by not using my A/C.
I won’t even talk about the bees in the parking lot at the grocery store today. I think from now on I’m doing my grocery shopping at midnight.
