Thursday Thirteen #8

Some days it seems that I am very easily annoyed~ of course Rich would probably tell you that is every day. But, anyhoo- today is one of those days when I am feeling annoyed with pretty much everything. And since I'm in such a rotten mood, I decided to make my list about 13 things that annoy me.

1. Having to put away the clean laundry.
2. When Dottie (the dog) crawls out from under my bed in the middle of the night (she started sleeping there shortly after Hailey learned how to walk- I wonder why)... Anyhoo- when Dottie comes out from under the bed in the middle of the night and has to shake and make the tags on her collar jingle so that she wakes me up.
3. People who do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. Yuck!
4. SPAM
5. Clutter
6. When the food on my plate touches each other. It must be kept separate.
7. Being late annoys me. I prefer to be on time, if not early.
8. Telemarketers who won't take no for an answer. I know people are just trying to make a living, that's why telemarketers in general don't annoy me. It's when I try to be nice and say "no thank you" and they just won't give up that I get annoyed.
9. I have this one friend who sends me at least ten forwarded emails every single day. I don't mind the occasional forwarded message, but at least ten everyday? That's too much. (And the person who does this does not read my blog- so if you send me forwarded messages I am not talking about you.)
10. People who want to argue about everything.
11. Going grocery shopping with Rich. I hate to go grocery shopping anyways and when he comes along it takes forever. He must compare the prices down to the penny of every product. And then he wanders off and I can never find him.
12. People who touch me when they talk to me.
13. The price of gas.

Thirteen Things I Do On My Way To My Treadmill:

1. Get my water bottle.
2. Clear off the kitchen table.
3. Throw a load of laundry in.
4. Organize the bills.
5. Go through the junk mail.
6. Let Dottie (the dog) outside.
7. Certainly I have some new comments on my blog by now, so I have to stop and check that.
8. While I'm on the computer I might as well check to see if any of my blogging friends have added a new post.
9. Leave a few comments on some other blogs.
10. Let Dottie back inside.
11. Add a few items to my grocery list.

Thirteen Reasons Why I Blog:

1. I've made lots of new friends- people I really consider to be my friends even though I have never met them.
2. Reading other people's blogs makes me realize that the stuff I go through and the feelings I have are normal.
3. It's a great way to keep family and friends updated with what we've been up to.
4. Everyone else is doing it.
5. I have learned a lot about computers and a little bit about html code.
6. I can express my opinions.
7. I'm making some extra money with my blogs.
8. It distracts me from worrying about things I should probably be worrying about.
9. It keeps from going insane as a stay at home mom with no one but a toddler to talk to all day.
10. Blogging is a great way to learn from other moms who have already been through all of the various stages with their children.
11. It's cheaper than therapy.
12. When Hailey is older she'll be able to look back and read all about herself as a child.
13. I'm addicted to blogging and will start to twitch if I go without.
