Peeved

Published by admin under Pandemonium on January 21, 2010

The topic for this Girl Talk Thursday is your pet peeves. Surprisingly I do not have very many & my poor husband is the source of a good majority of them. Apparently I’m not the only one with a  lot of pet peeves because I think this was the biggest response I’ve ever witnessed to a Girl Talk Thursday

Without further introduction here are my pet peeves in order of what irks me the most

1. “NO”: Granted I come up with some pretty harebrained schemes/ideas, but “NO” has become a staple part of my husband’s vocabulary. He says it before I can even finish a proposition now…..also I hate telling my children that because I don’t like it when they use it towards me. I’ve tried to substitute with things like “We’re not allowed to do that” or “I said you could not do ___” or my favorite “Leave it alone!”….cause seriously I get sick of saying “NO”. It’s so non descriptive, but lets face it I’m a mom so I have to use it.
2. Leaving your toothbrush along with the toothpaste in the shower: if you want soap scum or mold collecting on your toothbrush that is your prerogative. However when I go to brush my teeth in the morning it’s irritating to me I have to go to the shower to get the paste. Doesn’t it bother you that at night you have to get it all out of the shower and then go through the same process of taking it into the shower with you in the morning?! You know who you are…Guarantee he’s lurking on the blog as we speak…..it’s so irritating to me lately I bought a tube of paste for the medicine cabinet.
3. “I’m writing a Novel”: I’m going to get a bunch of shit for this one from the Girl Talk Thursday blogging community. I can hear it now. I mean no offense. That’s great….in fact “I’m writing a novel” too.  NO ONE CARES. Just let us know when you get published & because we love you we’ll buy it!  Maybe I”m just bitter because I’ve been writing one for ages now and it seems like every blog I read lately is announcing “I’m writing a Novel”. Maybe I feel like they stole my thunder…..or I just didn’t beat them to the punch of announcing what I was doing. Who knows. It just gets under my skin. It shouldn’t because we’re a community of writers. That’s what we do. It’s natural for us to all be writing, I just don’t want to hear about it. It’s kind of like seeing preggers all over the place and thinking about that 3rd child you want really bad……kinda.
4. Me cooking something and my husband taking over: Matthew constantly bitches that I NEVER cook. I do….it’s just he always takes over. I’m either not doing something correctly, it doesn’t look good, OR what have you there is always a reason. Needless to say I’ve handed over the apron and spatula to him. Nothing peeves me more than to be doing something and have someone take it out of my hands. Granted he thinks he’s helping or doing me a favor & I’ve told him it’s not and that it’s insulting (granted he’s a better cook and I rather eat what he makes, but it’s the principle of the matter). YET he still does it. EVEN FROZEN PIZZA!
5. Leaving your shoes everywhere: simply put that is what closets and entry ways are for! Walk around in my house with your shoes on or not putting them away and it’s on!

Notice how I used a lot of exclamation marks haha. That’s because those 5 things really peeve me. There’s lots more, but because long blog posts are a LOT of peoples pet peeves haha I think I’ll cut this post short.

My BAND-AID surprise

Even though it was nothing “disgusting” in the BAND-AID I was still pretty grossed out. Quality control definitely should have caught it. Hope you enjoyed watching my melodramatics.
