Thursday Nov 10th~~Cough Medicine Diaries~~

Boy this cough medicine is the bomb (is that the right teminology for it being good). I am such a 60's and 70's child that I would have said the medicine is super. I had to drag my behind to Sams Club today and order a cake for the soccer teams picnic on Saturday. This cough was was too much and its made my chest sore. Anyhow as I was ordering the cake and my husband and Nick my son where walking down an other isle I see this man I know. His real name is Michael but they call him "Hawaiian"..dont ask me why because he is not. Anyhow my son Giovanni and his boys used to play football in high school. I liked his wife. She is hawaiian and she is tough cookie. She took no nonsense from anyone. Well anyhow I ran into her about June and she had lost weight..dyed her hair and was walking around the mall holding some other mans hand. I am one not to judge but she took me aside after hugging me hello and proceeded to tell me she left her husband and her children. She said he was having a drug problem behind her back and was getting into the money and spending it on drugs. It was a whole long story. Anyhow here the guy is at Sams with his daughter shopping. Talk about uncomfortable for everyone. I waved but he turned his head like he didnt see me. I walked to find my husband and told him who I saw and then started to think about it. If my husband started doing drugs why would I leave my kids with him. I didnt think about this as she was telling me this before...but here is this guy with his adult daughter buying groceries. He is raising his other 3 boys and 2 are in college somewhere. Anyhow I realized now there are two sides to every story. Anyhow I started to leave and my husband starts telling Nick about some woman in the store having a face like a gorilla. It made me upset because his sarcastic humor is getting to me. I got on my Julia Sugarbaker (Designing Women)soapbox and proceeded to tell him who does he think he is and he should'nt be talking about other people. He told me I need to find my sense of humor and quick. I dont know maybe its the cough medicine, maybe its the flu (not the flu) syndrome. May be its the I am tired of people being made fun of complex. You see I was one of those people who was picked on relentlessly as a child. I had a rather large nose for my face then. Oh the girls used to pick on me and write mean things about me and my nose on the bathroom walls. I told myself when I got older I would get a nose job. Never did and my nose grew into my face. When guys I used to date were staring at me I used to get self-concious. Even if they were admiring my eyes or something..I always thought they were looking at my nose. Moral of this story is be careful who you tease or make fun of because there are really beautiful people behind some of those faces or should I say noses ( as I blow mine for the upteenth time)
