Just Some Good 'Ol Venting...The joys of motherhood!

So I thought that it was great that my kids were off this week for fall break. It was the perfect opportunity to get caught up on some much needed house cleaning and have them help me with odds and ins. We did great. We got everything done and my house is so clean and smells so good. Whew! I was relaxing in the chair patting myself on the back when I realized...Crap I forgot about doing the laundry! So my house is clean, but now I have a big pile of laundry to fold!

Why is it when we always think we are ahead of the game and on top of things we turn around and realize we are still behind? Do we ever catch up? Will there ever be time left over in a day when we literally have nothing to do?

It cracks me up to think about my husband coming home from work and relaxing in the chair while I am scrambling around still trying to get things done. Why is it he gets to clock out and get time off and my job is never done? Makes me think about that new show "Sister Wives" heck I want the wives, but not the man! LOL! I would love for someone else to share in the housework and know what needs to be done without asking and actually doing the work!

I think that my children and my husband think that there is a little fairy that comes in and cleans the clothes, the dishes, the house. Picks everything up for them and cooks them a great meal. They are oblivious to what I do, obviously! Apparently they think that I don't do anything since the question of the day is always "What did you do all day?" I mean really...What do you think I did all day? Why is it that we as wives and mothers get asked that question? One day wouldn't it be great to take a sick day or even a day off. Heck even to get paid for the job we do! Wouldn't it be great one day for them to come home and see what we don't do. Have the laundry strung all over...dirty socks on the couch, underwear on the floor, shoes in front of the door so you break your leg walking in, wet towels on the bathroom floor, clothes laying by the hamper but of course not in the hamper, dirty dishes left in random places all through the house with half glasses of milk left out all day, trash cans running over, kids running through the house with scissors and knives dressed in mommys make up, heels and bra with chocolate faces and clothes covered in dirt from making mud pies and playing in the toilet, and me sitting in the chair relaxing watching Oprah and painting my nails sipping on wine....Then asking my husband sarcasticly "What did you do all day?"

Your opinion is not always wanted

Why is it that people feel the need to burst others' bubble in life. If you have an opinion about something that doesn't mean that you need to share it unless asked. My mama always said if you don't have something nice to say then don't say it at all. Well you shouldn't say it! If you don't like something that doesn't mean that you need to share it with everyone! People are all different and like different things and that is what makes all of us unique and special! So of course we won't see eye to eye on everything and that is okay. Just because you don't like something does not mean that your negativity is needed. You don't have to agree, but you also don't need to be rude.

Why don't all people follow the same rules?

I don't understand why it is when rules are set for all people that certain people feel that they can break and bend them to fit their own personal needs or gain? Rules and regulations are set in place for a reason. I don't care who you are or who you know-everyone should abide by the same set of guidelines. What really peaves me off is besides not following the rules then you throw it in others faces and flaunt your gain and when questioned about your new fortune you continue to omit the truth! If you are a person of integrity and honesty you would make sure to follow the same guidelines as others. Not doing so only puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth that is involved. (Besides the fact that it changes how people view your character and question their associations with you)

Multi-tasking and the Cell Phone

Why is it that we can be involved in one thing with a group of people or a person and still be on our cell phones? What did we ever do before cell phones? I think that if you are talking to people use common sense and only hold one conversation at a time. It still comes off as rude. If you were with more than one person you wouldn't hold two different conversations at the same time, so you shouldn't do it with your cell phone either. I can understand if you had an emergency and needed to know something. We have become a society though that is involved in ourselves and forgetful about others feelings. It does not make people feel good and makes them feel disrespected when you are involved in something on your cell and don't even acknowledge others that are right in front of you.

My New Job

So today I started a new part time job as a sub at a family home day care. The day went very well. I was wondering if I would be able to manage all of the children at one time without losing my mind. Well I survived, and so did they! My husband was ever so sweet to text me from time to time to make sure everything was going good- He also wondered if this was making me get the urge to have another baby-Are you kidding?! Hell no! Managing 4 children under the age of 3 does not make me want more! It makes me want to run the other way! They were all sweet boys though, Glad I could give them back to their families!

FYI: When Looking for a Vehicle

Okay just a quick comment on vehicle searching and buying. When you go looking for a vehicle let's say a truck always look for something that you can afford. Good rule of thumb for anyone! It makes no sense to look for a truck and then call the person and offer them a riding lawn mower in return! I mean really! I know we live in a small town, but how is that going to look sitting on a car lot with a For Sale sign. I guess you could advertise it as "Great Gas Mileage" "Great In Town"! LOL! Really people, use your brain. Truck for Lawn Mower does not equal good trade, even out here in the sticks!
