Do any of you ever feel this way? It isn’t that I don’t have some really fabulous days. I do. But it seems that I have more frustrating days than not.
Some things that just seem totally unfair to me:
IF DISHES ARE LEFT IN THE SINK AT NIGHT, THEY ARE STILL THERE WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING. I find this very upsetting, so I try NEVER to leave dishes in the sink. But sometimes someone comes in behind me after I’ve gone to bed, and in the morning there they are, still in residence. Has anyone tried going to the sheriff’s office to have dirty dishes served with an eviction notice?
My biggest peeve right now. I worked and babied a vegetable garden all year, and now it’s harvest time! I had gorgeous winter squash and heavily laden pepper, tomato, and basil plants! Man, was I ever walking proud. And then Mother Nature decided to send us two overnight freezes. My poor plants are frost bitten and pathetic.
Isn’t that about the saddest squash patch you’ve ever seen? Why couldn’t Mother Nature wait another two weeks? I think I’ll file a complaint. If you have her address, would you send it to me?
Then, the thing that really, REALLY gripes me is looking in a mirror. Is that woman I see actually me? Unfortunately, yes! If you have moments when you see your reflection and simply cannot believe it is you, would you please post a few comforting words to me. And, please, don’t tell me that beauty resides within us. Someone would need an excavator to dig deep enough to find my inner beauty.
And, no, I’m not posting a pic. I haven’t done my hair or makeup. I don’t want to scare anyone to death.
And last but not least, there is a huge problem with Sundays. When it is Sunday, it means that tomorrow is Monday. And most of you know what that means, back to work. I work most days of the week, so I don’t know why a waning Sunday afternoon is slightly depressing to me. Tomorrow won’t be much different for me than today. Maybe I have sympathy depression for all of you who look forward to Friday because it means you’ll have the whole weekend off.
Hugs! I hope you have a wonderful week. I’d send wishes that it will speed by and be Friday before you can blink, but my mother always warned me not to wish my life away. So I won’t wish yours away, either.
