Just another day

And here we go again, trudging along with another week.  And it has been trudging,  hasn't it?  Or is that just me?

Dear Mother with Both Literal and Figuratively Sticky-Fingered Children:
I am sorry for you.  I am.  I don't like to have to follow your children around and make sure they don't hide things in their pockets.  I am even more grateful that you are very kind and understanding about this, and try your best to keep an eye on them as they run in 17 different directions and you're trying to just get what you came in for.  You are a stronger woman than I.  I wish you much luck.

Dear Older Gentleman with Elf Ears:
Noticing this today really made me smile.  And you were so kind too.  I always knew you existed.  Never had a doubt.

Dear Vodka Man:
I am sorry to refer to you by that but I do not know your name.  I really do enjoy when you come in.  You are always so cheerful.  Some folks don't feel the same, but you are always welcome to come talk to me.  And your jokes today?  Totally worth it.  Laughed for a good 5 minutes.

Dear Fellow Who Said He Was Just Trying to Make Everyone's Day:
You did.  Job well done sir!  :)

To My Lovely MM ladies:
I will probably not be around until late tonight or Wednesday.  Sorry!  Monday and Tuesday are just horrifically long days for me.  I love you all!
