Sometimes we have to let our kids sink or swim.  They can call us whine, complain and blame everyone else for their transgressions but in the end they need to be made to deal with the consequences of their decisions.  So the phone line has gotten very quiet and we'll see what happens I suppose.

Today was a weird day nothing seemed to work well and then everything fell into place.  I'm not sure why but I just went with the flow.  What I learned is that my tolerance of people and events has a limit.  I become annoyed and value my time alone whether it's working or just being left alone I like things quiet.  One person is too hot and can't stand it if the air conditioner isn't cooling fast enough so they sit and worry that they won't cool off and I guess they're going to die or something.  We live in Blythe it was 113 degrees today and will be hotter tomorrow.  It is what it is we're in Blythe, it happens every year at this time it's no surprise.  Another person eats like they haven't eaten in years and hoards hot sauce at lunch.  Its not so much annoying as it is very strange to watch.  We have to order more and then I just watch her eat it all like she's scared someone will eat some.  I'm not sure why it's really not that amazingly good it's just hot sauce but the poor girl can't get enough and if it runs low she begins to stare at the waitress becoming very anxious until she comes over and delivers more.  She can't seem to talk or continue eating it's the strangest thing I've ever seen it makes me anxious just watching her. Yesterday we went to Sizzler and she returned the vegetables to be cooked two times because they just weren't done enough.  Twice!!  I just looked at her and she didn't feel bad at all about it.  I've been around this person for years but I think it's gotten progressively worse in the last year.  Nothing is right for her everything needs to be changed until it meets with her approval.  She knows she's being difficult and she knows waitresses avoid her because of it but she doesn't mind it at all.  Very peculiar.

I've never had the nerve to return anything to the kitchen I've heard stories about what cooks do when you complain about their food.  I really don't want that to happen so I just go with the flow whatever comes is whatever comes, but usually it's always good.  I've never had it be bad at the local restaurants.

Another day in paradise I'm going to read a history book now and become transported into the old west.  I love history.
