Thank You Very Much!

It’s Free Therapy Day courtesy of Kmama at The Daily Dribbles !!

The way it works is that you take out all your frustrations on people/things-whatever- that really irritated or ticked you off during the week and then thank them in a very sarcastic way. (I sooo love the sarcastic part!)

Link yourself up and start venting!

-to the styrofoam coffee cup that was full of hot coffee mixed just the way I like it, that buckled under the process of me putting the lid on and spilled all over me, the counter, and the floor RIGHT NEXT TO A NICE ELDERLY COUPLE eating their breakfast- thank you very much! I love scenes!

-to the unseasonably cold weather IN MAY that we’re encountering on our road trip back to New York after having spent a nice warm spring in Texas- thank you very much! Freezing is my favorite!

-to the waitress at dinner the other night who barely noticed we were alive and breathing but paid a ginormous amount of attention to the guy behind us-thank you very much! Hopefully our tip reflected our gratitude!

And to top it all off…

-to my ex who didn’t have my WS2 available for my Sunday night call even though it’s court ordered AND it was Mother’s Day-THANK YOU OH SO FREEEAAAKIN’ MUCH!! You’re waaay too kind!

Getting to Know You Sunday, except it’s Saturday…

Saturday, 8 May, 2010

Keely  over at MannLand5 decided to do “Getting To Know You Sunday” today since tomorrow is Mother’s Day!!  So here goes…

The questions..
1. What has been your most memorable Mother’s Day? (with your mom, as a mom, or as a wife)
I would probably have to say this year’s Mother’s Day, even though it hasn’t happened yet. Since hubby and I are heading back to NY on Sunday, I went to visit my mom for a couple days this past Thursday. Even though my visit was short on time, it was big on awesome! We spent as much time doing things together, or at least in the same room, as we could. On Friday, we had the whole day to just do mother/daughter things. We did a little shopping and then had a nice lunch. It wasn’t anything spectacular or out of the ordinary, but we had a great time just talking and being together. I feel closer to her because of it. And who doesn’t like being close with their mom??!?

2. Have you ever been pulled over for speeding and were you able to talk your way out of it?
Yes!! It was awesome too!  I was hurrying to get more formula to WS1′s babysitter (about 18 yrs ago?). When I explained why I was speeding (because, you know… they ALWAYS ask why), he checked my license and insurance, then sent me on my way. As soon as he was out of sight, I was back to speeding. My baa-by was HUNGRY!

3. What’s the oldest thing you have hanging in your closet?
In my Texas closet I have some capri’s from last summer. In my NY closet I have a sweater that belonged to my dad many, many years ago. I won’t take it out because I love the memories I have when I see it.

4. Do you whiten your teeth?
I have in the past. Having it done in a dental office is the fastest and easiest way to go!

5. Underwear or Panties-what do you call it?
Most of the time I call it underwear, but I do remember referring to them as panties when I was little.

6. If you could go on vacation right now..today..where would you go?
Antigua (hurry up August 5th!)

7. Do you get offended when people cuss on their blogs?
No, not really, but I’m not a fan of the continuous, hard-core ranting type.

8. If you had to give up one luxury item, it would be….?
Probably TV since I don’t watch that much of it except for baseball games. Besides, I can get my Yankees on MLB.com!

Head over to Mannland5 if you want to play along!

Happy Mother’s Day!

My Stages of Resentment

Thursday, 29 April, 2010

***Disclaimer*** To those of you who are closest to me and reading this: This is NOT to be taken personally! It’s not directed towards you AT ALL!  To those of you who don’t me from Adam, this is not directed at you either. With that being said, here goes:

Am I the only one who holds grudges and has resentment-no matter how big or small the situation is??  Please tell me I’m not so I won’t feel like a lame-a$$.

I’m just in a weird place right now. I’m mad. And I’m holding a teeny tiny grudge. I’m not having resentment towards anyone in particular. Ok maybe just a tad, but resentment is resentment whether it’s towards a person or just a situation, right?  I know, I know, nobody said life would be fair. And it’s not. If anyone knows that, it’s me! But do you ever have those situations where things could be different but because of someone else’s situation, they’re not?

Which brings me to the next question… Am I supposed to be a martyr and say it’s ok and just suck it up? Or do I stand up for myself and be a bitch?

Martyr.

Bitch.

Not sure which one is more appealing….

From where I’m standing I’ll end up being both. A bitchy martyr. I feel that no matter how much bitching and moaning I’d do, the situation would remain the same. So one part of me says “why gripe in the first place if it’s not going to do any good?” Then the other half of me says “why shouldn’t I stand up for myself and speak my mind?”  The reason I’d like to say something is because I want my feelings to be known so that hopefully it doesn’t happen again in the future.

Can I just crawl up in a drunken stupor and sleep for a month or two??  No? Not allowed?

How ’bout a little rebellion?  ’Cause I’m feeling rebellious…

I’m sure as time goes by, this will all pass and then I’ll be feeling guilty over being resentful. And for holding a teeny tiny grudge. Oh, the guilt thing again… is guilt something women are just born with?? If so, I want a guiltectomy.

What about my feelings? Don’t they count? In my “former” life (*ahem* first marriage *ahem*), my feelings didn’t matter. Now I know that they do and I will stand up for them now. Especially after living in NY and getting a little attitude

In the end, I know I’ll be forgiving. I’ll end up being the one to say I’m sorry. (Why me all the time??  Must be that stupid, stupid, boatload of empathy I have.)

After I’ve said my apologies, I’ll probably announce how great my appreciation is and profess my undying love.

Resentment sucks.
