Happy New Year

And what a start to the new year it has been for me. I started feeling ill on new years eve and it snow balled from there. I spent 5 days laying around the house fighting a horrible sinus infection. It has been 7 days since I have been to the gym. I am having exercise withdraws. Sheila knows I'm not feeling well because I never miss an opportunity to work out. I have tried to make the best of the situation. I have watched countless hours of worthless television. I have read a book and have spent maybe 5 mins online in the past week. But it is nice to be up and kinda feeling well.

Also let me vent my frustration I experienced tonight. It's all about a boy named Stephen. He was at Kroger’s with his mom. How do I know his name is Stephen? Well I think all of Kroger’s knows his name. I ran into his mom several times tonight and each time I heard "Stephen stop that, Stephen come here, Stephen, Stephen, Stephen". And every time it was followed by the phrase "Do I need to take you home". I don't think it takes an expert to tell her that threat does not work. It was obvious he has grown use to the go home threat and it has no use to him. I think this lady needs to set the cart aside a few times and follow through with her threat to drive the point home. I recall hearing Dr. James Dobson on his radio broadcast once. He was speaking of the strong willed child. Obviously he has meet his fair share of Stephens in his day. But to sum up his point, when you give a child a boundary he or she will eventually cross the boundary to see if you are gonna make good on your promise. If you don't follow through with what you said the outcome will be, then you are setting yourself up for some real problems. I have no plans to name a child Stephen, but I can say that after tonight if I had. well it goes without saying that I would be revisiting my options. Good night Stephen. I'm sure you are home now. LOL.

Blessings till I post again.
