Optimism in others. . .

Today I had some errands to run. . . . I was optimistic (as we went and waited in line at the post office) that my kids would behave and I would look like super mom waiting in line. . . .Nope didn't happen, they were both cranky and I watched the horror come across a woman's face as little mans Binky dropped on the filthy floor.( i DID clean it before returning it to his mouth).Then I proceeded to Target to pick up some diapers. The kids behaved great as we went up and down isles. I found a little something I thought I NEEDED and this month mr. husband and I are really sticking to a budget so we can up our savings. . . I obviously blew my weeks spending money over the weekend and have to wait until Thursday for more. I knew going to Target for diapers I would find something I NEEDED. So, cute little dollar zone items I had to have went in my cart. I brought our tootsie roll change bank just in case I found a little something extra I NEEDED. I thought those around me who saw me counting change out of my cool bank and handing it to the cashier would know I was budgeting and be proud of me, but No I got the same look of horror. . . . Thank you to the person at the post office who could tell I was searching for a pen (with crying babies )for handing me your pen. I placed more optimism in the world around me and you made my day. Thank you to the cashier who congratulated me as I told him I was sticking to my budget instead of giving me a horror look, cashier you also brought optimism to my life. And lucky tootsie roll bank. . . thank you for being HALF FULL as I went to buy my NEEDED extra purchases
P.S. I ALSO HAVE OPTIMISM IN OTHERS THAT BLOGGING WILL BRING OLD FRIENDSHIPS CLOSER AND EVEN START NEW FRIENDSHIPS WITH PEOPLE I HAVE NEVER MET THROUGH BLOGGING. . . AND THIS IS DONE BY COMMUNICATING BACK AND FORTH AKA COMMENTS. SO LEAVE SOME LOVE AND I WILL TRY TO BE BETTER WITH YOUR BLOGS TOO! I STAY HOME WITH KIDS ALL DAY YOU BETTER BELIEVE SOME SOCIAL INTERACTION GOES A LONG WAY.
