how much should we care about people who dont care?

wow! what a week. a long one, but a good one. finally got school shopping done, thanks to kids closet!! they're amazing. if  you haven't been to a sale, you should go. I guess I was a little bummed that we don't have the money to buy the kids ALL NEW clothing in the newest styles, but it was a great deal! and the clothes were barely used and super cute. and my DD puts on dresses with snow boots/mittens and butterfly wings. so I know they don't care. Oh and Brennons birthday was fantastic! he played and ate and ripped paper until he dropped. I didn't get to do the dinosaur theme he was hoping for, but I found a really cute sports themed set on clearance. I was totally bummed about not getting him the Dino theme due to "funding" issues. But as it turned out, he was very impressed with all the sports decor and the cake/cupcakes I made for him. and you know, I don't think he would really care either way. As long as he got cake and presents and got to play, he didn't have a care in the world. I SOOOO wish I could adapt to his way of thinking! I've been focusing on the negative instead of the positive, and I HATE that. I was furious that members of his family didn't send him a birthday card, even though he couldn't care less. I was irritated with the low turnout at the party, even though the people that were there made it AMAZING. and again, he didn't care. he was beyond ecstatic to be able to play with the kids that made it. don't get me wrong, it was a great party and I had just as much fun as Brennon, but I couldn't shake that nagging feeling. just like today, we took the kiddos to the MO fair ( it was military appreciation day, we only to pay 1$ !!) and of course it was crowded as all get-out. we tried to go to several of the shows/events- but when we got there, it was so crowded that there wasn't even standing room and we couldn't see a thing. but do you think any of the very-well-fed-looking fair goers taking up an entire bleacher with their behinds would scooch a bit so my kids could see? shooooot NO! we got dirty looks for trying to squeeze in. I mean hello? you're adults with no kids and you're guarding your vantage point for the piggy races like its your only mission on this good earth. get a life! sheesh! anyway, I got to thinking... you know... I would probably have had a better time if I didn't let that one thing get to me. instead of focusing on that, I should of thought of how SUPER NICE that little elderly gentleman was who stopped and listened to brennon tell him all about god-knows-what. and he listened to brennon with such rapt attention that you woulda thought he was telling him the secret to life. but instead I just muttered a "sorry... " (I don't know why I assume strangers are annoyed by my kids, I feel bad now ) and hustled my them onto the next activity. so why do we care so much about when people don't care? yet when people do, we just expect it and don't think anything of it. Are we really so jaded that we cant appreciate the simple things? if the answer is yes, then that's pretty darn sad. and I don't want my little ones to grow up that way. so if the kids don't have a problem with it, then neither do I! I have stop fighting battles for them that they don't even know exist. I'm going to let go and let god handle my issues. Because believe me, Hes the only one that can handle 'em!
