Pre-Caleb rainy days were a good excuse to nap. Now that Caleb’s getting older and always on the go I hate rainy days. We walked to the park bright and early this morning so he could get outside before the storms came, but ended up walking home in the rain!! And it’s not just rain these days, they always come w/ full blown flooding, our basement included. We have no money now, not even grocery money let alone money to fix up a basement. I am all stressed out over money, the leaky basement, and going back to work, meanwhile a certain person who is frequently at our house now is complaining we have no food to eat. We went from feeding the 3 of us to 5 when our roomate moved in (and her beau did too but we didnt realize that was going to happen, or at least I didnt)and we cant even afford groceries for ourselves, I am so upset about the whole thing right now. I know some people have certain lifestyle standards, and for someone who is just as poor as we are right now to gripe and complain over the amount of food in someone elses cabinets or fridge drives me mad. Not to mention for that same person to bring over their dirty clothes to do laundry here when they are paying rent to be living somewhere else. I dont mind our roomate, and I dont mind helping out those who need it, but I hate people who take what they can get and complain when its not good enough. I know this may upset some readers who know who I am talking about but this is my space and I need to vent before I lose it.
I dont understand how siblings can grow up w/ the same parents teaching them the same values and grow up to be completely opposites. I mean I know it happens but sometimes I cant seem to get how when you look at someones parents and see how they are or hear what they believe you would think oh what good parents the are and expect their kids to be the same. Yet it’s not that way. I know children rebel but how old do you have to be before you finally “get it” and grow up and stop being so selfish and dependent??? Any thoughts?? I mean I know some people seem like they never grow up but that’s usually because they are fun and live life to the fullest, but some people also that never “grow up” are so stuck on themselves and do whatever it takes to take what they can get from others w/ the least amount of work on their part or the least amount of respect for others. Argh!!!
I am full of gripes today, prolly an effect of the miserable weather getting me down. If anything I will count my blessings today and be thankful for a beautiful son, a wonderful husband, a roof over my head (until the mortgage company beats down the door for this months payment), and some carb free food to eat, and of course those 15 lbs I’ve lost in the last 2 1/2 weeks!! I am sure theres lots more to be thankful for, and I am, but not gonna bore you w/ it. Hoping to get out of this house this weekend, but the rains looks to be staying til at least Sunday morning! Great….just great….
