Didn't get to post last night since our dog Star was having seizures for a couple of hours. They are hard to watch, the medicine keeps them to about once a month but they last for a few days. Poor thing! I had trouble with the giving challenge again yesterday. I am fine about giving to people I know but to give something to a stranger still is hard for me. I hope I can grow from this experience and be better about that by the end of the month. I ended up taking dinner to Laura's boyfriend Trever while he was working at Menards. (he works security for the lumber yard) I know he appreciated it but I didn't feel that really counted since we do that sometimes anyway.
Today went a little better. I was dragging because of being up with Star during the night. The kids had fun in preschool this morning, as I told them I was tired and pretended to nod off a couple of times and they had to wake me up. They found that funny! One of them told me I shouldn't sleep in class I should go home and take a nap!! We went to the library after co-op and my two little ones were excited to have a giving opportunity. There were lots of toys out and no kids there anymore in the children's area. I told them that if they helped pick up toys that would be giving and they were very excited. They did a good job picking up. Little kids amaze me how much they get excited to be helping. I wish that lasted to when they were teenagers!! ;-) Just kidding!
I went to County Market after supper to stock up on the baking supplies they had on sale and use my penny pincher coupons. I had picked up a pack of two cookies from the bakery and I was determined to find someone to give them to before I left the store! I went through the checkout line of a teenage boy and told him from the beginning I had A LOT of coupons, he rang every thing up and I handed him the coupons and he said "you weren't kidding this is a lot." He ran them up without complaining and the girl working even sacked all my groceries even though you usually do them yourself there. I'm sure the man behind me wasn't too happy! Anyway after I paid and was leaving I gave the girl the package and told her to share with the checker since they were both so nice about everything. She said thanks but didn't act like it was anything usual. So I was happy to have gotten over being afraid of being giving to a stranger. For today anyway!
