Yesterday I was with the boys I nanny for George (6) and Clayton (4). We were at a dollar store loading up on crafts and some treats for the movies.

The check out line was extra long but it was early in our day so nobody was cranky or complaining yet.

When we got up to the cashier I noticed that something appeared to be off with the lady. Now this might make some people who do not understand upset…but please know that is not my intention.

The woman was clearly under the influence of some type of substance. I will not get into details of which one…because that is irrelevant.

My stomach started to twist and turn and it was so difficult to look at her. My body actually had a physical reaction..I felt pain in my bones. I wanted to hug her and tell her it’s ok…everything…
