Well it's time for my Friday Pet Peeve.  Keep your panties on, I know you are excited; and you have probably guessed the topic for this week.

Holiday Pet Peeves:

1. People who don't teach their kids that it is the thought that counts.  I REALLY hate when kids make the following comments:
a: I already have this (in a nasally, whiny tone)
b: but I wanted the PINK one
c: this is stupid
d: what am I, 7, ...... Read More

OK, so now my Christmas cards are sent out, my work here is done.

We are going to my sons Christmas program at school tonight.  Nothing says "Holliday" like screeching, out of tune children.  My son gets to play the drums during a few songs also.    I'll need it for this one. ..... the things we do for our children.

On a totally unrelated note, I am currently getting a new club/rescue set up and am filing paperwork with the government to recognize the club and set it up with 501 (c) status. Confusion for 4 or 7. I read if ...... Read More

The lines are long, people are rushing around, being rude.  Why is it that holidays bring out the worst in people? 

My shopping is nearly done.  I am waiting for a few things to be delivered and I need to pick my sister's ipod up. But other than that, everything is wrapped and under my tree. ANNNNDDDD I only went mildly over budget this year.  (oh yes, I am one that does a spread sheet showing projected and actual cost with how much I went over)    Don't judge.

So, This year for Thanksgiving I stayed home and cooked a full ...... Read More

Ok first get your mind out the gutter, not poked like that silly. I am talking about poked by the jab stick of life. Today I seemed to have a mini toddler like hissy fit. So its a very long story I will not bore you with but let me be clear when I say be careful in what you wish/ask for.I will now be sure to start my day with something like I just haven’t met you yet. Soooooooo…

Our life is ...... Read More

I have posted about this over at my but since its pretty slow over here I will add it here. Please feel free to comment on the blog link.

I’m sitting here on a plane full of people & yet I still feel so alone because my people are not here w/ me. The silence is scary. The lack of stimulating conversation w/ my husband, the quite and absence of bickering and whining, and mommy this mommy that seems like a form of ancient Chinese torture you read about in history class. ......

Sorry Folks.  I will tie my pet peeve into my blog today.  Kind of like 2 for the price of 1 

Pet Peeve:  People who can't/won't stand up for themselves.  You know the kind...the ones who let themselves get talked into anything, even if it is not what they want. 

I was raised by a woman like this.  It was just one of our issues. I am the exact opposite to the point I can hardly stand to be around someone like this. One of my favorite quotes is by Winston Churchill “You have enemies? Good. That means ...... Read More
