...Speaking of my children:
...Sam got glasses!

...Funny Story: The other day, I was in line to check out at the grocery store. The young pregnant girl checking out in front of me had crossed my path several times while I was shopping. She had been shopping with her young son and mother. I noticed as I stepped in line behind her, that she was picking and choosing what she would actually purchase. As she gave a few things back to the cashier saying she wasn't going to get them, something possessed me and I stepped up to say that she should still get them and I would pay for her groceries. I was a little freaked out by myself, wondering where the heck that came from. Of course, she had the typical Philly-attitude and looked at me with her black eyes like I was completely crazy. She didn't say a word. The whole time the cashier was ringing her up, I'm thinking, "What am I doing? Can I afford this?" and convincing myself that it was fine and it would all work out. I was energized by the adrenaline rush and hoping I could make a difference for her. The cashier seemed to be taking forever because of what must've been WIC checks and food stamps. Finally, the grand total... $3.27!
I let her keep the change.
Yeah, I'm awesome.
No wonder she looked at me like I was crazy!
