Things that bug me

Not even feeling particularly grumpy or anything. These are just some observations I’ve been making lately and I knew you’d want to know. In no particular order:

1 – Complainers/whiners (the irony that this is #1 on my list is not lost on me, I assure you)

2 – When someone takes out the trash and doesn’t replace the bag

3 – Tea bags left in the sink, or on the counter. Possibly because the trash bag was never replaced.

4 – The fact that Hollywood only mentions God/Christianity in a doubtful or negative light.

5 – Criticism of Kate Gosselin. I know that sounds a bit bizarre, and I never even realized that it bothered me until tonight. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan, I very rarely watch their show, but Catie enjoys it so we do watch from time to time. I’ve noticed that everyone and their brother talks about how she’s condescending, grouchy, rude to her husband, etc…Gosh! I only have 3 kids and I’m no picnic. (just ask Chris) I cannot imagine how I’d get through a day, let alone a lifetime, with the family that she has. If getting a little drill sergeant from time to time helps her manage, then so be it. I’d like to see her critics try to walk a mile in her shoes.

6 – Kids riding dirtbikes/4-wheelers on our street

7 – The economic stimulus package. Did you know that if they took that money and divided it up between us, that would be $2666 per person, including babies (and how interesting are those last 3 unaltered digits, huh? 800 billion dollars, 300 million Americans – you do the math). So for my family, that would be over 13 thousand dollars. Tell ya what, if you send me a check for 13 grand, I promise to use a nice chunk of it to stimulate the economy, ok?

8 – My complete and utter lack of willpower.

9 – My inability to complete a task start to finish before moving on to the next thing. Multitasking is giving me ADD.

10 – Bad drivers. This includes people who pull out in front of you and then make no attempt to speed up, people who cut you off in traffic, people who run red lights, people who cut off an entire lane of cars waiting their turn only to cut in at the last second, and people who stop traffic in the middle of the road to move over so they can make the turn they almost missed, rather than turning around and going back like the rest of the not-completely-self-absorbed people in the universe would do.

These things bug you too, right?
