Little Things

that make me happy:

  • Nice soap
  • Re-reading books
  • Flowers
  • Fresh bread
  • Rhubarb pies
  • Birds making a nest in our window air conditioning unit (because cute)
  • Hugging kids
  • Fake-coughing just to annoy my husband

that annoy me:
  • Laundry piles that are never put away
  • Backpacks that are left out in the hallway 
  • Multiple pairs of shoes that are not put away
  • Laundry room (renovation project in progress - we are about 1/10th way in with no finish line in sight)
  • Bad traffic
  • Idiot drivers that pass me on a local no-passing road in a school zone
  • Rabbits
  • Birds making a nest in our window air conditioning unit (that can't be good)
  • Teens watching idiotic youtube shorts for hours at a time
  • Dirty socks and bowls left in random places

    1. The 'asshole section' made me laugh - but yes!!! (just had a dose of that yesterday when one of my kids screamed at me)
