Things that bug the crap out of me
Published by amberlicious January 9th, 2009 in How my kids torment me, me me meChildren who pour an entire bowl of milk, then add a handful cereal, then don’t drink the milk and then want to pour the whole bowl of milk down the drain because now it has cinnamon in it.
Children who can’t eat cereal in even a remotely quiet manner. (Slllurrrrp, smack, smack, chomp chomp, slurrrrrrpp)
Children who don’t put the milk away after using it.
Clearly I should not sit at the table while my kids eat breakfast.
Dave Ramsey (I realize it’s a completely irrational irritation).
The fact that my Christmas stuff is partway down and not at all put away (I’m going to do that today- I swear).
People who throw things away without putting a bag in the trashcan- hello! More work for me later- if there isn’t a bag in it you’re not allowed to use it unless you get a bag. All bags are kept in very logical locations in the room where the garbage can is. It’s not that hard! New rule? Mom never washes out garbage can since Mom never throws away stuff without getting a bag first.
Whiney kids (but that’s not unusual).
I’m kinda grumpy today- you’d think I was PMSy- but it’s not that- I think it’s because my house is so trashed. I really need to get Christmas cleaned up.
Good luck cleaning up today. Hopefully you’ll feel better. I’ve always found that in January I have huge urgings to purge, sort, store and organize… not sure if this is just my personality coming through in the dark winter months, or if it’s been “marketed” to us like Hallmark holidays from the retail world, or if it’s a natural inclination in us to restore order after a long month and a half of holiday activity and a desire to start the new year with a fresh, clean slate.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who is bugged to no end by Dave Ramsey.
Two choices, either leave so you don’t have to look at it, or clean it, so you don’t have to look at it. Either one will work. Good luck!

My friend sent me the Dave Ramsey book and I know it’s because he cares about me and my situation (he meaning Joe, not Dave Ramsey). I will NEVER read it and I tried to gaciously thank Joe, but I was secretly kind of pissed off.
You WILL feel better when the house is clean.
Keep working on the trash can thing, Michael is just NOW getting it so it must take about, oh, eighteen years for it to fully sink in.
I was thinking about writing a post with this same title today.
Snow would be at the top of my list.
And the incosiderate people dropping their kids off at my kids school. The principal has already sent like 3 notes hme this year telling the parents to follow the rules, stop yelling at the kids on safety patrol, and telling them that they shouldn’t honk give hand gestures to the teachers who are helping direct traffic.
That milk thing really bugs me too.
And the fact that I’m the only one around here that has any concept of how to turn off a light.

ME TOO!!! (To all that stuff about cereal and milk.) But I think my mistake is that i DO leave the table instead of watching over them with an iron fist.
Whiney kids - that’s a top one for me.
Having a good day?

Are you going to change the name of your blog to Soggy Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Cheerios have no cinnamon. If you hate Dave Ramsey so much, does that mean you are in love with Suze Orman? Wha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Amen to all the cereal stuff! I feel your pain!
I feel your pain accutely! Now if I could get over the cold my hubby gaveme I might be able to dig out of my holiday mess.

The only reason our Christmas decorations are put away is because my in-laws were coming and we needed the room where the tree was to put an air mattress. Otherwise, I’d be perfectly content leaving everything up until next year.
