Why oh Why?

Do these kind of things always happen to Em and I? I decided to take Em out of the house, we were getting bored ... So, I thought I would go to the other base which is about 5 miles away and go to their Exchange. It is sort of like a mini department store. The very first store I bring Em into something happens. I bigger woman walks to us from across the store with her arms outstretched and grinning from ear to ear... "Oh Hell, now what?" is exactly what I am thnking... She comes over and right away I ease up because she is mentally challanged and I realize she is probably just excited about seeing a baby. So anyway, she then cups Emily's face with her hands and I am TRYING not to freak and back up without scaring Em or the woman... Just as I am doing that she KISSES Emily on her forehead. People, I almost had heart faliure right there. Just as I am about to blow a fuse the woman's mother comes out of nowhere and yells in Sign to her daughter. I say Yell because her hands where going crazy and she was actually yelling to her at the same time. I felt bad afterwards for feeling the way I did. I mean, I guess she doesn't know better and I guess in a way it was a sweet thing to do to a child... but I don't know her so I freaked.... I told the mother not to worry and had Em wave bye bye which of course set her in the mood to do it for everyone in a pair of cammies for the duration of our outing... Which also scares me. I am not sure if she is just reminded of her father and likes to wave at them because of that OR.... She just likes guys in Cammies. .... LORD HELP ME!!
Anyway, once I turned the corner I grabbed the wipes and wiped her face down... like I want her to be sick ... gez, she has been sick off and on for the past couple of months, that is all she needs.
Now about the guys in Cammies thing... This is EXACTLY what she does to a guy when she sees them, let's see what you think. First she makes eye contact, smiles a huge grin, then wiggles for them back and forth and then waves Bye-Bye...Hmmmm, I think she is flirting, Daddy doesn't want to hear that! He told her she is never going to marry a Marine...LOL, yeah right!
So people, I have been bored and moody today and so has Em. I see a tooth trying to poke out so that explains for her mood. That makes number 5. She usually has two at time come in so maybe there is another one on it's way as well. Joy. I am just tired... I need to go to bed early tonight. I have been staying up late having me time but I have been dragging the past couple of days. Plus, I of course have to go do the Garage Sale thing tomorrow so I have to get up early for that. I will let you know what treasures I find. So, until the next time. Ta-ta.
