Isn't everything the worst?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

GD's enemy is a packed bag. If it's in the bottom, it may as well have fallen into a black hole. I think he's starting to hate when I advise him to take everything out of the bag.

This has been exacerbated by the constant need for a diaper bag.

Hehe - Maddies Dad was in the hospital for a week. Day one Maddie went and packed him a bag, we drop it off and say toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving stuff all in there. Day two when we visit, yes it's in the bag. Day three - still in the bag. Day 5 I get a text at like 10 PM - tomorrow can you bring toothbrush, toothpaste & shaving stuff? It's still in the bag where it's been for 5 days. "oh"

Today I was reminded of a clinical demonstration of this issue.

Holy crap! Your mom was also my dad!!!

I wondered how long it would take for this!

One thing I've learned:

Anger is the result of missed expectations. There, I said it.

Example: If you think that pulling harder on a shirt that has been tangled on a mass of hangers is going to result in a freed shirt and nothing else, you've missplaced your expectation. If you remember the fact that tugging only results in re-hanging three more shirts, then do what you know must be done, reaching in and untangling the hangers. Also, if you are using those thin metal hangers, switch to plastic ones that tangle less often.

Good luck CP! It's not easy trying to rewire your brain that has been programed for all of these years. I applaud your efforts. And remember, the reaction of anger to things can be taught. Perhaps you knew someone who reacted this way. And if Theo sees you doing it, he may do it as well.

I use to become the whore of satan while driving. But that's another story!

Ever had one of those days where it seems the entire world is conspiring to annoy the hell out of you? I'm having one of those days.

I wish I could crawl in a cave somewhere until it passes.

Is it still considered a conspiracy if they really ARE out to annoy the hell out of you?

[JWBear]

Only if they are conspiring.

This really is the best reason to do something about my awful habits.

Having kids DOES make you (want to be) a better person.
