My Rant.....

Does anybody watch "The Rant" on the Las Vegas News station? Its so funny to Justin and I to hear people get all hot and bothered about things. Well today I have a lot on my mind and I am just feeling like ranting. I will probably delete this post shortly but, i just need to get it out! So here we go, my RANT....

1. Online bill paying, you have to use it. It saves me so much time and money on stamps and you can choose the exact date the bills are delivered....but every couple of months it seems there is some sort of a blunder (by me) and when it happens its like major panic. Like when I paid $1,500 to the power company instead of $150, or like this month when I schedule all of my bills to be delivered on the 5th of November (payday) except I miss changing the date on one, and of course that one is a mortgage payment.....whoops! I go to check our account and it is in the negative because that bill which should not of gone through until the 5th has just paid.....yeah not good!

2. Driving with dogs in the car...Okay so every time I see people driving with their dogs, the dogs are crawling all over them while they are driving.....NOT SAFE PEOPLE! If you have a dog and you do this, I still love you, and sometimes I wish I could have the same love of animals that you do (I said sometimes I wish that, most of the time i just think animals are nasty....I know i am cold!)

3. My house...oh my house, it is a serious cause of stress for me. No matter what I do this place is a pig sty. And I try, I really try...obviously not hard enough. And I used to pride myself at how good and clean my house looked. I give up! And that makes me feel like a failure. Of course it doesn't help that my couches have been back ordered and I have had camping chairs and an air ma tress in my family room for the last week, or that my carpets are horrible! I am grateful for what I have....that's why it should be cleaner...and the laundry and the dishes NEVER stop!

4. Food.....my boys are starting to eat more and more. My grocery bill is almost doubling and our income is the same.....problem! And I know it will only get worse, everyone always says, "just wait until you have 3 teenage boys!" I know, i just hope and pray Justin is bringing home more bacon. Maybe that is when my food storage will come in handy!

5. Speaking of teenage boys...last night at our wards "Trunk of treat' I made a comment to my friend how I hate the ugly nasty older boy costumes, they are so junky. Then she says to me, "Well you better start liking them because that is your future!" And it hit me....crap that is one bad thing about all boys....nasty Halloween costumes.

6 About Halloween. I think the economy has affected the quality of candy coming from people. My boys hardly got ANY chocolate for mom.........darn!

7. Coleman is sick and has been extremely clingy today...Problem, he weighs like 30 pounds and my arms are dying!!!

8. Our one outing of the day was going to the Redbox to get some movies for the kids...they get all excited, i get all excited that they will be occupied for a couple of hours. So we go to the first one, its says something like "Performing maintenance" so we drive to another one....same thing. Not to mention they are right in front of Mc Donalds so now the kids want happy meals. This guy that was there said he just came from another location too and same thing. So I come home without any movies, mad kids and nasty happy meals.

Ok that is it.....as if that hasn't been enough. With those thoughts, i hope you are having a great day!

I agree with item #2, and I need to add that I hate it when you go to someone's house and they just let their dogs jump ALL OVER you and they just sort of laugh and don't even put the dog out. Not even when your poor little girls are scared of dogs :(

you make me laugh, I love it! I hate dogs too. Nasty, drooly, hairy, disgusting!
Don't worry, I am still killing myself trying to keep my house perfect and I am starting to think it is not hardly worth it!

I totally agree with pretty much everything. I have two girls and they can pound as much food or more than Luc, so I don't think it is just boys. And having a clean house with 3 little kids is impossible, I have decided. I have big plans on how it is going to look when they are older but for now I just have to deal with liveable!!
