Do I smell like a criminal??

So for those of you who have not heard the story let me take you back to last fall. I was in a hurry on my way to math class but realized I was very low on gas so decided to stop and fill up. I pulled to a pump next to a police officer. The moment I stepped out of my car the dog went wild. He looked so ferocious, I seriously thought he was going to bust out of the back seat and eat me. I had cash so I headed inside to prepay. As I reached the door I heard the dog go silent. I put $20 on pump 4 and hurried out. The second I caught the dog's eye all hell broke lose again. I was so taken back that I got in my car and drove away. My heart was pounding out of my chest but I was happy to be away from... lets call him Cujo lol. Just as I got to my exit my gas light came on. I started crying. I forgot to get gas! I went in to math class late and  with puffy eyes. Crunching numbers managed relaxed me and after class I went back to the gas station and explained to the man what happen. I charmed him, we laughed about it, and he let me get my gas.
Today I was on my way home from Chemistry, low on gas... Dun dun dun... I have class in the morning and am always running late so I stopped at Speedway even though I was eager to get home to my family. I again had cash so I went inside to pay. The same man was inside we had small talk and laughed it was obvious he remembered my space cadet moment. I went back to my car and saw a cop at the pump next to me. GRGGRRR BARK BARK BARK!! It was Cujo's coworker and he hated me too. This time the police officer talked to the dog and got him calmed down enough that I was not in fear of my life. And this time I held it together and pumped my gas.
I cant help but wonder "What the heck??". Do I smell like a criminal? On both occasions several other people were around and had no problem. Why did they hate me so much? I don't smoke pot or do anything else illegal so he didn't smell drugs... Oh well I guess I have an intimidating scent. This time I won though! I got my gas the first time, take that Cujo. lol

Snack Time Trickery

Just now while snacking on a frozen tube of gogurt I thought to myself, this was genius. My kids think frozen tubes of gogurt are popsicles and granola bars are candy bars. Matthew is suck a picky eater right now, worse sometimes he just doesn't want to eat at all. Making healthy snacks seem like dessert has definitely helped. Odd that one of my high point in mother hood is tricking my kids lol. Whatever works right. If you are a parent you know we just are not perfect. If you're not trust me know matter many books your read, classes you've taken, or people your watched and learned from, you will not be perfect either. I believe judging people and giving parental advice when you have no idea what you are talking about will bring you bad karma and heathen toddlers. LOL We all have things we are great at, things we are just good at, and things that could use some improvement. That being said, I think my snack time trickery was definitely was of my brilliant moves as a mother. When matthew starts wanting pop I am going to try carbonated water!

Well enough blogging, bath time and then back to my studies but I will be back as soon a random thought I feel the need to share creeps into my mind :)

TV Talk

Has anyone else noticed that so many of the cartoons on now are just revamped versions of cartoons that were on when we were younger. Lately my son has been wanting to watch Pokemon, Power Rangers, and my least favorite Dragon Ball Z. Its odd... my little brothers used to drive me crazy with these shows and now they are back to haunt  me. Okay I have to admit I did like the Power Rangers when I was a kid. I remember being ready to fight someone for not letting me be think pink ranger. Watching it now Im like blahhh. The monsters are so cheesy and disgusting I just don't remember that, it seemed cooler when I was a kid. Until I grew out of it and my brothers still watched it everyday and dressed as Power Rangers for Halloween like 4 years in a row. Then there is Pokemon.... Does this show seem reminiscent of dog fighting to anyone else? I mean they collect Pokemon like pets and then battle them... And the new song totally sucks that was the only thing I enjoyed about the original show and they took it away. I don't even try to watch Dragon Ball Z I guess the anime thing just isn't for me... I just cant believe these goofy shows have made it this long.
