Thirteen Things That Bug Me

  1. My single gray eyelash
  2. That I can clean a room and 10 minutes after the kids are in it, you can’t tell I did anything
  3. My bed not being made (don’t fall out of your chair on that one, Mom, but it’s true!)
  4. People who say one thing and do another
  5. My chin hairs…or how ’bout the fact that I have them in the first place?!
  6. When the kids fill up both sides of the kitchen sink with dirty dishes to where I can’t even get at the water to make coffee. Hello? We DO have a dishwasher…
  7. The fingerprints and smudges on my front screen door, no matter how many times I wash that window.
  8. Dust
  9. Oldest Son’s tongue ring. It’s just disgusting and makes him talk weird.
  10. The fact that my right knee hurts and bothers me more than BEFORE I had knee surgery.
  11. That Pepper refuses to get housebroken. We can take her out, and she’ll do her business, but she would rather die a thousand deaths than let us know when she needs to go out again.
  12. That Completely Clueless is late with his child support…again.
  13. PDD telling me, “Hold on,” when I tell her to do something.

      Thirteen Reasons I Write This Blog

      1. It’s WAY less expensive than therapy
      2. To connect and keep up-to-date those I love who are far away
      3. To know myself better
      4. To be heard
      5. To laugh on a regular basis
      6. To remind myself of what’s important in life
      7. It’s more fun than folding laundry or doing dishes
      8. To make new friends
      9. To express myself
      10. To practice what I preach/walk my talk
      11. To vent
      12. Because I enjoy it and there are zero calories involved
      13. Because I can.

                Thirteen (and then some) Things I Accomplished Today
                1. I fought the good fight on a disputed bill, but they won citing their terms of service. Ugh. So I paid the stupid bill and went on with life.

                2. I filed for the last two rebates on my phone/cable/Internet service, so I have another $130 coming in sometime next month. Yay!
                3. I balanced 4 accounts I’ve been avoiding.
                4. I added a new customer to my network marketing business.
                5. I faxed some paperwork and filed it away.
                6. I wrote a post for one of my other blogs.
                7. I contacted an inactive customer and turned her into an active customer, once again! Yay!
                8. I went and picked up some child support moolah – only 7 days late – he’s getting better. :)
                9. I did 4 loads of laundry.
                10. I folded and put away 3 loads of laundry that have been clean for a week but never made it out of the laundry room.
                11. I cleaned the cat litter box. Peee-uuuuu!
                12. I cleaned off my desk and I can see the wood again…(one of these days I’ll take a picture and show you my digs.)
                13. This post will be my 13th thing, but I still have 2 other blogs to write posts for, prep for an interview I’m doing on Sunday, and thanks to Bonnie over at Born In A Zoo, who sent me “Wacky Chicks: Life Lessons from Fearlessly Inappropriate and Fabulously Eccentric Women” all because I commented on one of her posts that I hadn’t read it (how nice is she??!!!) I have some fun reading to do, too!

                  By the way, since Bonnie was nice enough to send it to me, I’ve decided to continue this book’s travels when I’m done with it. Who wants dibs? Let me know in the comments.
