Irritants that I live with...

[seelove]

Certain things drive me manic.

1.Some stranger picking on me or my kids when we are minding our own business, but since it is usually in a public place, I leave it alone. My thoughts are this: There must a real reason someone would tell me how to raise my kids. And honestly even if there isn't, it is a public place, I put myself out "there" and so I ignore those are not nice.

2. People who reply with anything stressful or  sad with "Your family is in my prayers".  or "I will pray for you and your family" Really? I didn't ask anyone for that and honestly, I don't want your prayers. That irritates the hell out of me. I do feel like someone is forcing me to accept their beliefs into my life. Maybe that is not true, but whatever. I have learned that no matter what is said or done, someone is a prayer and will want to pray for you. I usually ignore this too. I refuse to say 'thank you', especially since the whole idea makes me nervous, but i do stay silent, knowing that many mean well, but are human after all.

3. Woman who have the tools, knowledge, time, energy to do more but don't because no one supports them. Come on ladies, are you kidding me? Most of us will flame the lady that isn't a baby wearer or whatever, but can't support her if she want to start her own business, get her GED or go back to college. Really, are you jealous or angry or do you just need something to be mean and petty about? Again, I smile.

4. Items on my grocery list NOT in the grocery store. For goodness sake! that is what it is there for!! Why is it that they sometimes don't have golden mushroom soup? Or low sodium saltines? This really makes me crazy. I HATE,HATE HATE the grocery store.

Thats all I can think of since they have happened the most recent. But I ignore it most times, I let it roll off my back and move on with my life. Some are serious to me and some are not that serious, but I whatever. In the great scheme of things, will any of these things effect me or my life to any great extent? Nope.
