I HATE

I passionately hate littering. How hard is it to toss something in a trash container. Even if one isn't available immediately, one is not too far off in this disposable society. Today I was looking out my front window and saw Jake's girlfriend toss her cigarette out her car window. I already chewed him out three days ago, that the street in front of my house is full of cigarette butts and now I know why. She came in and fixed macaroni and cheese---another sore point---she eats a ton---more than my three kids combined---she needs to eat at her own damn house---but I am letting that slip and handed them a trash bag to clean the street up and then I am telling them they can't hang out here.

I also hate Ara being sick. All the previous week he's been in a fog and acting confused and finally by the end of the week he is sick. And GRUMPY. so much so that Andi and I left him and went out to dinner by ourselves on Friday night rather that get barraged with obscenities. He can't hear anything and keeps saying 'huh', well not saying but hollering. He better not lose his hearing when he gets old because I don't know if I can handle that. He's not good at picking up body language so verbal is all I got with him.....

GF Rant

Well I bit the bullet and let my inner grouch show today. Earlier this week, I found out that my son's gf was over when I wasn't home. (and no I'm not saying who). I am struggling to find something, anything to like about this girl. Today, I am working from home and she shows up at 11:00 (hope I didn't give away which son, now). They had their smokes (another grievance) and then came inside to watch TV...I'm trying to do my actual paid work at the kitchen table and they're gonna watch movies! I told them I didn't want them hanging out here so they made plans to leave and then started to walk upstairs! IDIOTS. What part of don't hang out here do you not understand. So I called him back in to the kitchen, and told him he knew he was not allowed to have girls in his bedroom. He gave me the duh look so I also added that I don't want her in my house at all. She stomped out at he slumped out to her car and sped off. I am really tired of the sneaky rule breaking. It's not that I don't want him to have a gf, I would just prefer he have one that inspires him to be a better person. Since dating her his bank account and goals have dwindled. I want to see major improvement. Most of the time, I try to be encouraging and supportive, but today I don't have the energy. gray skies go away.

Goodreads

I've just signed up with the largest social network for readers in the world, Goodreads. I am
trying to learn the ropes with navigating the site and get my bookshelves all lined up. Today I am working on Books I've read to or with the kids. I'm sure they don't remember me sitting in the doorway of their rooms while they were tucked in their warm beds and reading every night when we lived in Clarksville, but I remember. And then I read with Andi after the boys hit middle school.
Anyway, I need more friends on Goodreads, if you decide to sign up, please friend me so we can share good reads. I've already read 4 books and am on my 5th and 6th this month.
