I hate it when I check someone's blog and they haven't updated it for forever. I go to their blog all excited to read some exciting new post, and then the disappointment when it's nothing new. So if you are like me, you have probably been bugged that I haven't updated my blog. I admit it. I'm a great big hypocrite! Sometimes I just can't think of anything exciting to write. Mostly, it's just that I'm lazy.
Today I'm listing my pet peeves after which will follow ten things I am thankful for. (Just so I end on a positive note and you don't think I'm just a crabby person all the time.)
My Pet Peeves (in no particular order)
1. People who do not drive nicely. Included in this are: people who do not merge correctly, people who won't let other people in especially when the lane is ending and there is NO other place to go and what the heck do you want me to do? Go off the road?? (Ok, I'm calming down now.), people who run red lights, people who turn left after their green arrow//green light has already turned red, not yellow, red! and they take up my green arrow that I have waited forever for!, people who make a right turn on a red light when I have a green left arrow, people who don't stop at crosswalks and who get annoyed at people who do and honk their obnoxious horns at them, people who change lanes right in front of me and then 2 seconds later turn right in front of me and I have to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting them, people who take my parking place that I am obviously waiting for and I have my blinker on and everything, and finally, driving my kids and the day care kids to school. The closer it gets to the time that the bell is supposed to ring, the dumber people get. I try to avoid it at all costs, even if that means taking the kids to school 20 minutes early to avoid the crazy drivers!
2.Trash anywhere except in the trash can. Ask my kids. I HATE trash on the floor. To me that is the ultimate laziness, especially at my house where I have a trash can in nearly every room of the house.
3. Frumpled rugs. Bugs the crud out of me!!
4. People who don't say please and thank you.
5. Deciding what to have for dinner every night and when I ask my family for ideas, all I get is, "I don't know." Then when I decide on something they have toast for dinner because they don't like what I made.
6. Solicitors, phone or otherwise.
7. Actually anyone who tries to sell me anything. If I want it, and can afford it, I will buy it. If not, leave me alone!
8. Dogs who poop all over the house!
9. Kids who don't do their responsibilities.
10. Days that I don't get anything done!
Now on to Ten Things I Am Thankful For:
1. My family!
2. The Gospel (especially repentance and the temple)
3. Our home, food, and clothing
4. Lincoln's job and my daycare kids and piano students
5. Freedom
6. Hot water and indoor plumbing
7. A washer and dryer
8. Vehicles to take us where we need to go in comfort
9. Music
10. Computers and the internet so I can keep in touch with loved ones. Especially Anita in Hawaii.
That is all for now.
