Embarressment

     Well, only my child would get us kicked out of two different establishments in one day. I was both embarrassed and livid at the same time. Taylor was in rare form today and overly giggly. Any two year old would instantly get excited over a dog and I would look over it. 

    While in Starbucks, a service dog came in and my toddler was beyond excited! She kept saying "puppy"  and pointing. She also had me read her book three times while we sipped our treats. She had a water with strawberry puree, so don't come at me! This man was in there using the wifi doing official business and Taylor's excitement completely annoyed him. He promptly went to the manager and made a complaint. After his third complaint in a 15 minute span the manager came out to talk to me. We were asked to leave, but I refused. We had every right to stay inside and finish our snack and drinks.  I didn't want her to take her pumpkin bread to my car, so we hurried to eat so we could leave. The man who complained made a comment, "Do you have a muzzle for her?" 

    I lost it! I told him," NO, but I have one for you!" What an absolute lunatic to say something like that. My absolute assertiveness must have scared him to death because he packed up his laptop and basically ran out. I guess it didn't help that I took a step into his personal space. The manager came back out and apologized and said the man was a regular and made complaints all the time. The young manager said we are welcome to come back anytime, that maybe it would deter the other customer from coming back in. 

    Following our moment in Starbucks, we had to go by and pick mom up from her appointment. Our air-conditioning in the car isn't working well so we went in. Taylor's hyper-activeness in there also got us kicked out. So... today was an adventure. My child is loud! Nothing I can do will quieten her down when she gets like this. I guess we need to work on our inside voices and maybe some people need to learn some manners in the process.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
