Here's a Tip for ya...

Let's face it, when you meet someone for the first time or you say hello to a person on the phone and you say " How are you?", you really don't care. Nor, does the person really care how you are doing, it is just polite. Something we all say because it is expected. What we don't expect is a "True" answer to the question. I mean come on, do you really want to hear about somebody's period cramps or Hemroid problems... ahhhh no. So, this leads me to the other day. There I was having a hellish time at the grocery store with the She Devil, I mean my daughter... She screamed her Bloody Brains out for almost the entire time we were there, she threw food out of the cart and it broke open spilling it's content all over, I got "the Look" from everyone when that happened, She whined when she wasn't screaming, and she cried non-stop. BUT I had to buy food and all the other crap that comes with that so we had to stay... FINALLY got it done and went to check out. Well, I don't know about civilian Markets but in Military ones they all have baggers that bring your bags out to your car and put them away in it for you as well. It is great now that I am a mother, that way I can get the babe in her car seat, get semi-organized before taking off...anyway, The bagger and I are heading out to my car and he does the "Hi, How are you?" deal and I of course say " Fine, how are you? I was pretty sure he didn't want to hear about how it took me hour and half to get my ass together, get Em fed, dressed, chase her down the hallway while trying to do her hair at the same time, brush her teeth, then mine, wash her face, get her juice together, get her snacks, make sure her diaper bag had everything she MIGHT need while at the store, change her ass again because she shit herself just before we were ready to leave, get her shoes on, she takes them off, get them back on, and then finally get her in the car, forgot my damn cell phone in the house, ran back to get that.... Now his reply....
He tells me " You're fine, really?, because you look really really tired." Now people, you know that look that us Married women give to our husbands when they say or do something stupid beyond all comprehension? Yeah, that was the look I gave him.... So many things were running through in my head as to what to say back at him. Firstly, I wanted to ask him if he was single, if so it was obivous why. Secondly, I wanted to say Fuck you! BUT I semi managed to compose myself and asked him if he had any children. He told me no but he had allot of nieces and nephews. (Yeah, that is the same fucking thing you moron!). Upon his idiotic answer I then replied " Well, when you have a temper tantrum throwing 1.5 year old who is going crazy while you are trying to get shit done then I will ask you how you are doing and if you are in the slightest tired. OKAY?" See people, I didn't say the word Fuck at all to him, very good for me. Needless to say I considered our little conversation his Tip as it was more valuable than any monetary compensation I could have given him.
So, now that complete strangers are feeling the need to tell me that I look like shit does anyone have any suggestion for the big black eyes? Anyway, I guess I better go to bed....
