Talking in Parenthesis

Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Pet Peeves

Wow 2 posts in one day. I was thinking about this when I was waiting at the bus stop with Alli. Of course the bus was late. Anyways here is a list of my current pet peeves. This by no means is a complete list but the ones I was thinking about while at the bus stop.

1. Leaf blowers
2. People who pull up to a house and honk. Not one or two little honks, but laying on the horn, multiple times. And if this is done before day break you need to be arrested.
3. People who do rolling stops at stop sign, when there is a person crossing.
4. When people ask how are you and then start talking about themselves before you even answer.
5. The fact that radio stations play the same 10-20 songs over and over and over and over and over and over
6. That people think because I am a mostly stay at home mom, I do nothing all day and therefore can do whatever they need with no problem.
7. Putting up Christmas decorations (and lighting them) before Thanksgiving. Actually I don't like it before Dec 1st but now is ridiculous.
8. Pumpkins, actual carved rotting pumpkins still on porches. Uncarved ones for fall decorations look nice.
9. People who use the word totally wrong.

That is it for now, I am sure I will think of more later.
