R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Please watch this... sooo funny and a lot how I feel right now... I have probably blogged about this before, but I have been having a tough time with a few people right now. Mostly those younger than me. I am trying not to chastise, because there are quite a few things in life that I to have taken for granted, so let me get started. #1 People older than me deserve respect: whether I am smarter, richer, poorer, have more teeth than, drive a white car or a small car, whether they work at McDonald's or I work at McDonalds and they come thru the drive thru, they deserve respect, whether they have wronged me, cut me off, or given me the wrong change, they deserve respect. I am amazed at the younger people who disregard me or others as nothing. I have seen younger people walk past an old lady in the parking lot struggling to push her shopping cart thru the slush and snow and laugh and point!!! Outraged I tramp over there with my kids in tow and I too struggle to help her as they continue to laugh. I am not saying I am a saint, far from, but respect people, at least I have the common decency to show respect! In running the gym/school with my sister I come across so many people/kids, okay I'll just say it, teenagers that show up late, back talk to me, and other adults, parents, kids, text and talk on their cell phone at work, I mean come on! You are being PAID to work, not talk to your friends. We are a very relaxed work environment, but seriously? I will admit to not being the most angelic teenager, but when I was at one of my jobs I showed so much respect for what I did and my superiors, and I EARNED my paycheck, I did not expect it to be handed to me. Don't get me wrong there are many kids out there who are great kids, I have had teenage boys open doors for me, and chase Beck down in the parking lot for me, great girls who watch my kids while I attend the temple, not all of them are inconsiderate, but I need some convincing on the other half of this rising generation..... So here's to all the "Yes mams" and "yes Sirs," you rock and I appreciate your kindness and willingness to be a great asset to this world and to the other half, get your head out of your bum, you have to earn this world or us older folks just might develop a drug to live longer and then we are going to keep it....

So onto a lighter note, we received a wonderful package from my parents, Maimi Dawn and Papa Goose. The spent almost 2 weeks in New Orleans and got lots of good loot. Beck loves his tools that he got
