Generous??? I think not!
Alright, I have a story to tell, oh boy do I! So let me give a little bit of build up to this incredible tale....I shop at Walmart often, everytime I go which is about twice a week, there is a guy who stands at the entrance/exit of the parking lot. He is there everyday M-S 8-5. This is seriously his day job. I get so frustrated everytime I see him. I think to myself, why can't he go to a temp service and get a job, why is he here every day? I absolutely refuse to give him money. I know that is mean of me and I'm sure I'll go to hell for being so selfish...but honestly don't you think him being out there everyday is a bit much! And his sign says, stranded and homeless, please help and god bless!!!!! Yah stranded at the walmart for 5 months? right! Okay so after that let me tell you this part.............Marshall and I and the girls are leaving Walmart, it is about 7:30 pm and I guess there was a "shift" change on the corner!? There is a different guy and he looks really bad, haggard face, torn clothes and he has a dog, his sign says "need help,need money, need gas. I had a dollar in my pocket and I thought well I'll just give this to him. I said to Marshall I just have a dollar should I give it to him, so marshall rolls the window down I stick my hand out the window, mind you I'm going against my stubborn will to not give money to these "employed" people, and he walks to the car and I say to him good luck, while I'm saying this he is already saying to me, before he starts taking the money, I normall would just throw this dollar bill back at you, this is drug money!" and he is putting it in his pocket by the time he is done talking and walking back to his "office space". I just looked at him and then looked at Marshall with this utter shock and bewilderment as to what just happened. I called the guy a naughty word to marshall after I rolled up my window. Marshall says What? I repeated to him what the guy said, oh man, I saw my husbands face turn from confusion, to stunned, to angry, to bleeping mad! The blood ran from his toes straight to the top of his forehead. He said, with all composure he could handle, do you want your dollar back? Lucky for the "independant business Executive" I said no. We pulled to the stop light and my poor husband was so irrate that he sat at the green light without realizing it was green. I was shaking and he was shaking. I could not believe what just took place. The nerve of that "motivational speaker" to say that! I will never in my life be generous to anyone that is begging on the streets like that, ever ever ever! It took all energy Marshall had to not go back to that guy and say, have you ever been mugged? Well your about to! he he Anyway, this bother me so much that I thought I would share.

Here is a Family picture. This was suppose to be a generation one but somehow all of us ended
up in the picture. It turned out to be a great picture. In this pic is Marshall, His dad, his grandpa and his grandma and then me and the girls. Below is some pics from Marshall's cousin's wedding. Morgan was being fussy and Marshall asked to hold her and he started singing to her and she totally relaxed and just laid on his chest. It was so cute! And below that is Makayla and Ellie posing! I tried to just get a pick but they always have to pose...I don't know why they just do. And below that is Tyler playing my favorite game...Guitar Hero! He is being goofy and was dancing all around the room playing the guitar! Silly Savage!!
