Many times through out my day I love to be sarcastic with family, friends, and especially employees. But there are those few people that cross your path who you just can't seem to say what you want in fear of hurting their feelings. Sooo I thought I would post about it instead.
In the bank parking lot as I was approaching my car an elderly woman was admiring a sleeping Ty. She asked me how old he was and I responded about 6 weeks old. Her response, "So he hasn't opened his eyes yet?"
My actual response was a smile along with "yes he has, he is just sleeping right now"
What I wanted to do was to inform her that she must have mistaken my son for a kitten or a puppy. One of the two.
A couple of days later. One of my newest employees in Alpine was helping me load my car and saw Ty in his car seat. Her question, "Is this the baby you had a few weeks ago?"
My actual response, "yes"
What I wanted to say was "No this is the one I had yesterday the one I had a few weeks ago is at home!'

My New Employee
I had a very exciting time at the Yogurt Mill today. As I was getting ready to leave I went to get my stuff out of my office and was surprised to find it locked. I stood on my tip toes and peered through the glass and was even more surprised to find a naked woman bending over. At first I thought it was my employee coming in for the next shift, but then I saw a bunch of items spread out over some of our tables and realized that it was just some random person using my office. I asked the girl working at the time if someone asked to use it and she said no.
At this point I realized my purse with quite a bit of money was just hanging open in there so I started to get a little nervous. I peered in again and this time she was rummaging through my desk. I started banging on the door. She said " Come in I am all dressed now, I just need to brush my hair" I said,"This is my personal office you can't use it I am sorry" Her reply was that she was getting ready for work. I asked her where she worked and she replied ,"I work here!" I said "no, you don't". She informed me that she had worked the last five days straight. At this point I knew one of us must be crazy and I figured it wasn't me. I suggested to her that maybe she worked at the other Yogurt Mill and was really confused. She didn't like that suggestion.
I quickly told my actual employee to then call security as I continued to argue with the woman about her position at my store. She wanted to speak to the manager after I informed her I was the owner and I thought I knew who my employees were. She then demanded I pay her for her last five days of work and to get her time card. I said we didn't have time cards. She then wanted my name so she could report me. She said "it's Heather right". I said,"yes, Heather".
Security finally arrived to escort her out and as I was getting in my car to leave I noticed I had an unknown phone in my purse and that it must have been hers. I gave it to the security guard who ran after her down the street to return it.
It wasn't until I arrived in Alpine later that I then discovered a bottle of pills she had stuck in my purse as well. She must have thought she was going home with my bag after her shift. As to why she was naked in my office I do not know. She walked out with nothing in her hands. All I can figure is that she took off her clothes and was so out of it she put the same ones right back on.
And just when you thought the whole thing couldn't get any weirder. I was pulling out of Fashion Valley tonight six hours later and who did I see? None other then my new naked employee sitting on the asphalt in middle of the parking lot. Mind you she wasn't naked this time, but she was being guarded by two security officers. I was going to swing by and give her her meds but I figured I would just give them to her tomorrow at work.

Kids Say The Darnedest Things
Is that a word? Darnedest? I thought there was a tv show called that. I felt like I could have been on that show yesterday. We took Haley and four of her friends to build-a-bear for her birthday. For those of you who haven't experienced the joy of that store let me just warn you that unless you have a lot of money-stay away! When you do a party there you can set a limit for each child. I chose $20 which I thought was pretty high. Apparently not! Upon arriving one little girl asked if she could get her brother a bear. I said no unless she wanted to give him hers. A little bit later the same girl asked if I was having another baby. Then she proceeded to ask why my tummy was still big. I knew it was coming but it still was more than irritating. After a few more minutes-same little girl (I was beginning to regret inviting her) asked why at Nicole's b-day party they got to get clothes and a bear and at Haley's they only got a bear. I told her Nicole's mom obviously had more money than Haley's mommy.
The whole experience was more than a little stressful. Kids wanting extra items. Parents standing around telling their children they could come back later and get them. Translation- Haley's mommy is cheap and isn't paying for anything else. At the end we had cupcakes and a different little girl asked me where the goodie bags were. I responded very sweetly, "I'm sorry honey I didn't bring goodie bags but you get to take home a $20 stuffed animal!" She just gave me a dirty look.
Ella also had a few friends since her birthday is only a week away. Not to be outdone by the other ungrateful children she proceeded to throw a fit that one of Haley's gifts was a barbie with a horse and she only got the horse and the paper barbie that was attached to the box. Just a little embarrassing.
I think we will move to a third world country.
I think they can adapt.
