I am not sure if I have ever really just sat down to put down some of the many random thoughts that I have. They are there, those random thoughts are there. So tonight, I share just a few. I need just a bit of levity in my day. Sometimes things get a bit too serious. Which for me, in my life is never a good thing. I hate that feeling of being too serious, too much of the time. Yet that is just what life gives us at times. Serious things to deal with. My Job though fun at times, is full of serious moments. The type of things that I have to deal with, and help kids with, is serious not so good, types of things. Hurt kids, with rough homes, or no homes. Hurt kids with issues feeling different, and acting different. Boys in girl pants, is a phrase we use. I have always tried my best to not bring work home. I keep them separate as much as possible. Abused kids, kids making very bad choices, yucky stuff. Stuff that my family does not need to be surrounded by. That is not always an easy task however. Things linger on the mind. Worries about those kids sometimes stay, even after that drive home. I don't want them too, but they do. So tonight, random thoughts not dealing with school. What I want from you, is simple. Add to it. Give me something to laugh at.
1. Why is it.... Why is it, that when you are driving down the road, you see empty beer boxes as often as you do. Is it that only people who drink beer litter. How come you don't see empty Pepsi boxes, or coke boxes. While out on a hike with my son last week we saw several empty beer cans even. Not coke, not Pepsi, not even Mt. Dew, but beer. Now I don't mean to be mean, but is it just a coincidence, or are beer drinkers just that much trashier?
2. So I take pictures. I have even been know to get some of those pictures developed. Not all the time. Usually the photos just stay on the memory card, played with on the computer, put on a blog. stuff like that. SO, Why is it..... Why is it that all the local photo labs can do either 1 hour, or 5 days. Really, 1 hour or 5 days, and the 1 hour is more then double the price. What the heck. With all the technology we have, we can't make prints in two hours, or three hours, or maybe in 1 day. Why does it have to be all or nothing. 1 hour or 5 days. Come on already. I can't afford the type of printer that I really want, or the ink that it would take, so I am stuck using WalMart. Good old Walmart. And the worse part is I am too dang cheap most of the time to do one hour, so I am left waiting for days. And I hate waiting for days.
3. Why is it...... Why is it that I really don't feel so bad that my five year old tells me the other day...."Dad, I know that Santa is not real", " I know that it is just Aunts and Uncle's and Moms and Dads". At first I felt bad, but really, I don't mind.
SO those are mine for the night, what are yours, come on and share, I need it.

Hey, I needed the laugh too so thanks!
So my addition to your post is that maybe you need to move to Oklahoma where you will see more than just beer cans/boxes on the side of the road. Every once in a while you will see the ever so popular dead Armadillo, lying on his back, arms out with a beer can in his can.....ok, so maybe you won't get away from the beer after all....but hey, the drunks out here know how to have a good time!
