...another one of those random thoughts posts.....

Ever see those 'Batesville Casket Company' trucks? Giant semi truck with the respectful yet eye catching logo and lettering. Ever notice how on the highway nobody ever cuts them off, or even so much as passes those trucks. Today as I was headed out of town, this guy in a truck practically ran a half dozen of us off the road trying to get to the head of the line of cars before the road narrowed, but when he got to the casket truck he just nipped right in behind. Coward!

Watching those cold and flu commercials, do you ever get that head nodding reaction? You know, 'yeah, your absolutely right, I should stock up', 'totally right, I don't want to wait until I have a cold and then go out feeling like crap to buy the drugs', 'When you're sick is not the time you want to be trying to figure out what to take for it'.
I've been sucked in, I'll admit it. I run out and stock up on cold medicines so they're 'on hand'. Yup, whole 'cold and flu season' goes by and I don't get sick at all.
NEXT cold and flu season the medicines have all expired and I'm out at the drug store feeling like crap trying to figure out what I need....

Got a phone call the other day, caller ID showed a phone number whose area code identified it as just a random northern Illinois number. 'Hello'
'Hi mommy, I just needed to talk to you'. In one of those flash through your head millisecond thought processes I think. Huh, the number didn't come up as Jessica's number, must be calling me from work, must be really important if she's calling me from work, hope the kids are ok....
'What is it baby'.........sudden dead silence on the phone, then an obviously young teenage boy voice asks 'Who is this'
Huh, it was somebody else's baby.....

Talking to someone the other day about how inside I feel 20, but apparently have reached that age when my siblings and I need to start thinking about taking care of the parentals. When I mentioned that to my sister she said only I had reached that age....

In other news, I think that Aidric is getting close to being ready to consider thinking about removing the training wheels from his bike. Sean has raised the wheels up so high that Aidric would have to be riding the bike on its side for the trainers to actually touch the ground, but the boy still refuses to have them removed. He insists he still needs them.

That is all.
