SWEET TEA

Monday, April 2, 2012

GRRRRR-ow-cheeee!

Disclaimer:  If you're looking for
"happy and funny" you'll want to
get out of Dodge right now - and
visit me on another day when I'm in
a better mood.


This is what I'm thinking about today
and I'm not in the mood to sugar-coat
a single word.  .  .

How is it that some of the people we love
the very most can get on our last nerve?!
What happened to the days of simply
being polite?

What happened to laughing at
each others lame jokes?

What happened to commenting to
each other when being spoken to?

What happened to genuinely enjoying
the company of the people one lives with?

What happened to randam acts of
kindness on the homefront?

What happend to listening and being
non-judgemental?

What happened to being non-confrontational?

What happened to saying "I'm sorry" and really
meaning it?

What happened to being polite?

You know the feeling you get when several
people are trying to squeeze through a
narrow door at the same time -
that's how I'm feeling today.

You just have to love 'em through it, and pray that you don't kill 'em. I've been there, I really, really know...

I know exactly what you mean and it totally sucks when you feel this way but sometimes you cant help it.

NanaDiana said...

ohhh..NOT a good place to be! I hope your day gets better. It is hard to treat family as nicely as we do acquaintances sometimes, isn't it? Hugs- Diana

Life is not always pretty is it??
Feelings are just feelings. It's good to express them and then hopefully let them go!

Not sure WHY loved ones can get on our last nerve like they do!!!

Erma Bombeck said it best: "Family, the ties that bind and gag"....I guess you threw out the "Families Are Forever" sign. I hope tomorrow the sun really does come up for you!

Jeanie said...

I'm not sure but I think that "Teenageritis" may be what happened. I know it is not much help right now, but I can assure you they do get through it. There were honestly times when I would never have believed that my youngest daughter would ever turn into the woman she is today.

nancygrayce said...

You're seriously not in a good mood today are you??? :) Here's hoping it will be better tomorrow!

Unknown said...

Living with a teenager can certainly cause all these feelings and more! Hope today is a better day. (And I have to admit to being glad you're not "up" all the time. I was starting to really feel inferior.) ;-)

karen said...

Bad day? Hope today is a better one! Family can get on your nerves, sure enough. But they mean well. I'm convinced of that.

Bobbie said...

Oh Boy... I think we can all relate to this post. I hope today is better.

Jill said...

Hoping tomorrow is a better day for you! Hang in there :-)

Blessings,
Jill

Hope today was a better one! I hate to say it, but I SOOOO get it!
Here's to better days ahead!

Maybe we could switch teenagers for a week or so ... might be good for them AND US!!! Remember, they always act better at someone else's house!

Yep, been stuck in that same door frame with you.

Sadly it does seem things in our society are falling apart.

Robin said...

I am so sorry!! I absolutely have those days and I just want to be alone until everyone else decides to be nice again. Hoping things are better!!
