Little Things

I've compiled a list of little things that annoy me in any given day. In no particular order.
  1. The suction in the trash can that holds onto the bag for what seems like hours.
  2. The dust left in a bag of cereal from all the smashed corpses of the nuggets that didn't make it (especially shredded wheat grrr).
  3. When you go to throw something away and it hits the lid and falls out of the can instead of making it into the bag.
  4. Going to make cookies or some other deliciousness only to find out that although you remembered to preheat the oven, you forgot to buy eggs or butter.
  5. Backing the car into the garage to make unloading groceries easier only to find that you didn't go in far enough and now can't get the baby out of the back seat.
  6. Getting the bills ready to ship out, but forgetting to mail them... again.
  7. Doing dishes yet again.
  8. Going grocery shopping yet again.
  9. Laundry... again.
  10. Trying to figure out what's clean and what's dirty in the hubby's pile of clothes.
  11. That tap tap tap on the bathroom sink in the morning while Hubby shaves.
  12. When the batteries die in the clock, but you don't realize they have.
  13. Going upstairs to get something, but forgetting what it was until you go back downstairs.
  14. Waiting for a show all week and then forgetting to watch the day it airs.
  15. Waiting to watch a movie because Hubby wants to watch it too, but he falls asleep every single time we try.
  16. 2am wake-up calls from both kids at the same time.
  17. Getting everyone and everything loaded into the car only to realize a block later that you forgot the cellphone and have to go back home.
  18. Operating on auto-pilot to get home, but you had one more errand to run and it doesn't hit you until you're in the driveway.
  19. The one thing you forgot to pick up at the grocery store... again.
  20. Never being able to shower, go to the bathroom, get dressed... really anything without an audience or some form of interruption from a child.
  21. Forgetting to put the cans out on the curb. DOH!
  22. When you're speed walking with a stroller and you accidentally step on the back wheel and almost wipe out.
that's all for now... feel free to share more.

New Beginnings

Image
After tons of research and conversations, we've decided to try something completely new.  The kids are going to be home with me next year instead of attending school.  I'm writing all about it on another blog for anyone interested in following this little adventure :)  We probably will also have a few trips to Germany and elsewhere mixed in... SO EXCITED!  I get really nervous about telling people about my choices for some reason, but I'm working on it.  It was time to finally let everyone know.

The Bullied Become Bullies

I believe the main reason bullying has become such a problem is our continued mistreatment of children.  We are bullies to them.  We are sarcastic and cynical and disrespectful.  We lord our power over them.  We hit them.  We say everything we want, however we want, as loud as we want, and tell them they cannot respond similarly.  We tell them how they feel and how they should feel.  We tell them what their intentions are.  We don't ask them or help them think through these complicated issues.  We don't practice patience.  We publicly shame them.  We don't trust them or have faith in their abilities.  We tell them what they can wear and say and when they can eat, sleep, even go to the bathroom.  It's insane.  We say "you can be anything", but our actions are fear-filled and insecure and opposite our words.  We give them no autonomy or control over their own lives.

This is especially true during middle school years, when kids are earnestly trying to become in…

I've Always Hated Purging

When I was little I hated puking so much that once I wouldn't open my mouth, thinking that would somehow stop the inevitable.  It didn't.  Sure burned my nose though.  I still hate purging.  I'd rather suffer for longer than have a painful build-up and then a violent purge followed by general feeling of wellness.  Whatever!  I can handle the pain for longer if it means feeling a little more in control!

I need to vent, and I apparently need to vent to a crowd so that my throat and neck stop throbbing.  I don't want to.  I hate this.  I loathe this exercise so much.  I feel like I've done this so many times, but nothing changes.  I hate complaining, even if it's about MYSELF.

I have typed probably 15 emails or texts or messages to people this week that I won't send.  Why?  Because I'm SURE these people don't want to have anything to do with me whatsoever.  Why?  I DON'T KNOW!!!

I was told just this month that I'm really bright, I know "ev…
