Riddle me this...

*Why would someone reply to a Freecycle post or Craigslist ad and then take for-stinking-ever to get back to you? Seriously people. ASAP means answer me within a day or two or I am going to move on to the next person. You are getting the crap for free for god's sake.

*Why do my kids not acknowledge my existence until a) I am on the phone b) sitting at the computer with headphones on or c) in the shower? Then suddenly they can't live without me.

* Why does the decorating style "Minimalist" cost so much damn money? You want a room filled with fluffy, flowery things? Won't cost a thing! You want a room with sleek lines and contemporary furniture? First born, please.

*Why does every song Lou Bega has made since "Mambo No. 5" sound just like "Mambo No. 5?"

*Why would someone post their budget on a "Get out of debt" message board complaining about how they have no money, but then reject any and all advice to stop over spending on *everything*, eat out all the time and go on vacation?? Don't get me wrong. I am all about spending money. It is one of my favorite things to do. But you won't see me posting my budget and then complaining that people just don't understand that I need to go out to eat three times a week because my life as a stay at home mom is so stressful. Please. If being a stay at home mom is so stressful, you are doing it wrong. Try doing your husband's job for a few days. I have and it sucked. I haven't complained about his dirty socks on the floor, or not washing the dishes since. (At least not where he can hear me.) You want stressful? Find a working homeschooling mom. She does everything that you do and works 40+ hours a week.

Hummm... guess that last one turned into a bit more of a rant that I wanted it to.

* Why in the world would the mother of four, who is well into her 40's, go to the pool with hickeys on her neck for all to see?

Ok... I can't even believe I just typed that word. I haven't even said it since middle school, I'm sure.

Ugh. People ticks me off.

Just sign me-
Your favorite people person
