This week at Mama's Losin' It one of the prompts is to list 10 things you are sick of. Huh. Well, I can certainly list 10 things I am tired to tears of thinking about, so I think that might qualify.
1. The fact that I have to go to my inlaws this weekend. I am a bad bad wife in that we haven't stayed with the inlaws in at least two years and I am still dragging feet on this. It stems from the fact that I don't want to be in the same house, let alone, room with my mother in law any longer than I have to. Again, this is not fair to dangle this story and not give you the why but I am just not ready to share. Or at least am holding off in respect to my husband. Ick. This weekend will consist of me listening to boring stories of hunting, feeding cattle, and weather ad naseum. I could not give one shit less about who killed what hog that was feeding around what tree or what dog treed what possum on such and such night. And because that's not fun enough, my two neices will be there, sans parents, and I will be acting in charge of kids. If I don't mil will let the two favorites (hint-not mine) get away with murder. Enough.
2. Remember my pal telemarketer. The one who left the nasty message on my machine calling me and my four year old daughter "losers!" Well guess who called again? Yeah I was shocked too. Three times today. Brave or stupid to pick this week of the month? Ha. I requested once again to be taken off the list. Next time I've got to get creative...any suggestions?
3. Divorce. NOT mine. I know two couples who are close and on the verge and I am just so sad and tired of thinking about it.
4. Cleaning house. Stay clean already--I'm tired of it!!
5. This bump on my head. I smacked myself into a door right on my forehead. It hurt bad people. Now I have a bump and every single time I bend over it hurts. And every time I brush my bangs off my forehead it hurts. Et cetera.
6. Whether or not I'm a good mother. I am tired of going to bed every night and regretting something I did from the day and thinking I am just not good enough.
7. My weight. I weigh 117 pounds. Why do I care that I used to weigh 112? I don't want to think about that any more.
8. The current administration. Okay. I haven't posted anything political in so long you probably think I've forgotten. No, it just is too depressing to think of where the country is heading both financially and morally.
9. My hair. I made an appointment finally for next Friday, but until then I am still a shaggy dog and I'm tired of that too.
10. Still and always I am tired of realizing that I should be picking out paint colors right now for the new house and not trying to find out what that smell is in this house.

I need to do this too... Just get things off my chest
Wow Mere, you are sounding a little tightly wound right now! There is nothing worse than the stress of dealing with relatives that you don't get along with..bar none!
Soon the weekend will be over and in the past....hang in there.
How about a loud whistle or fog horn for the telemarketer...when he calls answer the phone and BLAST him! You can get these dinky little fog horns at Wal Mart...luckily I was fast enough to intervene when my daughter picked one off the shelf and wonderingly was about to push the button!!!!!
((((((((((Mere))))))))) here is a cyber hug for you....a bit cold but filled with feeling all the same.
(I can't even THINK about this administration, it scares me too much.)
I can't say DITTO enough to No. 8!! Mom blogs aren't supposed to be political (or so they say) but I'm about ready to blow it on mine. lol
1. I'm fortunate in that I love my in-laws and my wife loves hers too, but if it weren't so it could cause all kinds of troubles.
2. Oh the things I will say, if you call me today ...
3. Always a terrible thing to think about.
5. My medical advice is to avoid that door.
6. The fact that you worry about it means that you are a good mother.
8. How does the president determine the morals of our country? Everybody determines their own morals.
10. Good luck with the paint. May I suggest Blush and Bashful?
It is true everyone determines their own morals. I feel that our country as a whole is losing the strong family values that it once held. I don't blame the admin for that. I blame the breakdown in th traditional family...I am thinking this discussion deserves a whole post! Thanks for commenting! I love to discuss politics!
And I think blush and bashful might need to be 'relegated' to the girls' room. ;)
