Strange looks.....

So, have you ever been somewhere and sworn that that total stranger just gave you a strange look. You look around but you're the only one standing there so it must have been you they were looking at. Then you check your shoes for toilet paper, your hair for that forgotten curler, your pants/shirt for that unnoticed baby stain....nothin'! Must just be them....they must just make that face at everyone. So you go on with your day but now and then you can't help but feel that people are staring just a bit harder than they should and talking a bit slower than you'd expect. Oh well, the world is filled with strange people, who am I to judge? Then it's time for carpool, you sit in line and smile as you pull up to pick up your child. The young man who opens the car door for your son looks at you funny and grins. Isn't that cute, he must have a crush....I'm too old for you, Honey! You chat with your sweet child all the way home and unload into the house. You head to the rest room for a quick break and happen to catch a glance of yourself in the mirror......sigh..........is it just a mom thing to wear the glasses your daughter ripped one arm off of two weeks ago and then to forget that you have them on, or at least that they don't sit right on your face? Oh well, .... at least some people got a good laugh today. Besides, who are they to judge...I guess I'm just one of those strange people the world is full of!

Laughing out loud at this one! Too funny. I wonder how many people talked about you that day? "Honey, you should have seen this woman today..." hahaha Btw, I think those might be my glasses too!
