Nice!

I went to Disneyland last month with 3 friends for a couple days as we all turn 30 this year (yikes!) and so we had a special dinner at the Pirates of the Caribbean restaurant (yum!). My friend ordered the Lightning McQueen drink just to get the toy “for her nephew” and since my son is an absolute Cars freak I ordered the same “for my son”. The waiter looked totally flabbergasted and said, I thought you were like 16. Now really, I was wearing a bit of a low cut tank top and no make-up, but I don’t think I look 16! So either he was really really good at faking disbelief or a very poor judge of age!
But after explaining that we were all celebrating the big 3-0 this year we at least got some super yummy chocolate mousse for dessert complete with candles!

A Rated-R movie. I nearly bit off my own tongue I was so shocked.

I know from recent experience that they don’t card just anyone.

My husband and I were going to a concert with my brother (23) and his girlfriend (22). We enter a bar to grab some food and drink before the show. Approaching the bouncer, my husband and I begin reaching for i.d.’s. The bouncer laughs (yes, laughs) and waves us in. He then cards my brother and his girlfriend.

Point is: you were looking young and hot, and that’s why you were carded!

A Word To The Wise 4 All Moms!
I have listened to doctors, teachers, counselors as well as social workers dish out advice about our children and some of it is well taken, but all must be critically perused and evaluated by us, were the mommies! Who could possible know our children better than we do?
Some children have adverse reactions to sugar and some do not, however experts would like to paint all children with the same broad brush. Teenagers having problems in school is a good example. The first direction the experts seem to like to pursue is Attention Deficit. However a wise individual would first pursue the basics such as: Are their marital problems in the home or some type of alcohol or drug abuse? Is the child fighting thru Identity issues such as sexuality? These are just a few of the possibilities that could be causing children problems and us Mommies and Daddy’s need to make sure everything is being addressed before we push it off on a medical condition. I’m not saying we don’t look at everything; however it seems we live in a society that loves to turn directly to medication to solve a problem! Just watch the evening news and I’m sure you will see what I mean. The drug companies are now pursuing us directly to get us to ask our doctors for their drugs! The government likes to preach “Just Say No to Drugs”, and then they pitch them at every opportunity!
My 16 year old was being tortured by mean girls via email and was heartbroken. She was having some acne issues as we all did but they were extremely mean to her in nature. It was not easy but I found a site that carries Cyber Bully Alerts warning the children to STOP sending these emails as they are being watched and logged and will be prosecuted. We all know what this kind of meanness can lead to with teen suicides and all. I found the cards at http://www.hatecards.net and they did the trick! The torture stopped for Sarah and that was good enough for me. We need to find ways to overcome and adapt to protect our kids.
We can care for runny noses and chapped bottoms, but we must look out for our babies through high school and educate them to think for themselves until they learn too!

LOL. Pride goeth before a fall, yeah? On the bright side, you definitely don’t look over 30.

Hey, I love going to Friday’s for the sole reason that they ID everyone. Even knowing that, it never fails to make me feel young!

That’s what happens when you start drinking at noon.
