Okay, there was this crazy lady at the pool today. I've got to tell you about her. She is OLD, I'm talking late 60's early 70's. Anyways, she wears a bikini, and is tan as leather. She has tramp stamps (tattoo's) all over her body and she speaks like she has a cigarette stuck in her lungs. Anyways, it was her, and 3 grandkids she was watching, the oldest no more than 8 years, the youngest probably 4, and me and my kids. She proceeds to tell one kid to sit on the steps while she kicks another one of the kids "a_ _" then she corrects herself with the word butt. Then, she is singing Old Macdonald to the four year old, and decides to add a verse saying Old Macdonald had a drunk, and for the noises she belched. Anyways, I think she must be a nice lady underneath all the leather, otherwise she wouldn't be playing with 3 kids at the pool, and I see her there quite often. The reason for me writing this, is that sometimes I think us "moms" feel like we are crappy, and we don't do anything right. Well, I felt like mom of the year today!
