Is it just me?

Still Walmart...different state...

So, I took the boys into the Walmart hair salon for a shape up/trim. The hairstylist was quite talkative to me... a total stranger. I learned all about her recent fainting spell at work a week ago that landed her in the hospital. While there, she found out that she was pregnant, which she found quite shocking since her tubes are tied, as well they might should be, since she has 9, count them 9 children. I am somewhat certain that this was NOT a religious decision seeing as to how she is going through a divorce from her second husband and she was impregnated by her boyfriend of eleven months. Her boyfriend does not yet know about this pregnancy, (and unfortunate miscarriage shortly thereafter), as he lives in Minnesota and suffers from high blood pressure, she concluded that he did not need to know because it would probably just cause him unnecessary stress. Total strangers are free game... who cares what my blood pressure is or how much stress she could cause me by all of her business that she unloaded upon my shoulders or the fact that I have to explain all of her choices to my big eared children (figuratively - of course)!

So, is it just another day in my life...or does this kind of thing happen to others as well?
