Things that irritate me about life......

I try to be positive for the most part. The meds help with that but I need to vent a little today so this is a brief list of things that bug me.......
1. This morning, a friend texted me to ask if I would watch her child while she took a test for a job. Sure, no prob, what time? I look at the clock and decide that I don't have time to shower so I get some ratty clothes on and do some housework. Look at the time, and its 1/2 hour after she said she would be here. Couldn't she have let me know? I could have showered in that time...........Just a thought.
2. I had to have some bloodwork done last week to get some meds renewed and the chick that was drawing my blood would not give me a Spidey band-aid. I wanted it because I was with my friend from #1 above and I thought her son would get a kick out of it. How hard is it to give me a freakin' cute band-aid? Then, to top if off, I have a bruise the size of my palm from her digging around.
3. My husband wants to go to a concert/cowboy ball next month. He doesn't think he needs to abide by the dresscode. He says they can't make him. I think they can and I don't want to go if he is going to be dressed in jean when everyone else is in a suit. Why do men do this?
4. BTW, guess who is responsible for obtaining childcare for said concert?
5. When you tell someone you will let them know about a job on Monday, shouldn't you call them by Tuesday to let them know?
6. I 'won' a 1 year subscription to BH&G today, if I buy a 1 year subscription.
7. My lovely daughter forgot to take her cellphone with her, again. Why do I pay for it?
8. My statement is ready online for the telephone company but I can't view it right now because it is unavailable. ?????????
9. My cellphone statement is available but not viewable either. ??????
So that's my vent... I fell better now. Where's the meds?

My take on the birds and bees talk with Cee

Cee was in 2nd grade and we were all sitting at the dinner table one Sunday night. I was talking that she had school the next day but her dad and I were both off because it was a federal holiday. My husband is in the kitchen getting something from the fridge and asks, "What holiday?" I say, "Columbus Day."
"Oh, you mean Rape and Pillage Day." My eyes immediately snap to Cee who asks "What does that mean?" I tell hubby that he has to explain that one so he gives her a very general overview of the Native American side of Europeans coming to America and mentions that some diseases that came over that caused great harm with the Native population. Because she is clever and smart and at this time, wants to become a doctor. I tell her about measles and small pox. Darling hubby says, "Don't forget syphilis." Again, I am ready to be a single parent because this opens up a whole new can of worms. So now I have to give a basic overview of Tab A into Slot B. I finish by telling her that if she has any questions to think it over and let me know if she needs to talk about tomorrow.
Hoping that she has no questions the next day, I tuck her into bed and then let my husband know what I think of his snide little comments.....
The next day, she tells me that she does have a question about how the body works.
I go in, sit on the floor next to her, no eye contact possible, take a deep breath and wait for the shoe to drop.
She asks, very seriously, "Why do fingernails grow?"
I'm dumbfounded but apparently, she had no desire to go into what she now considers "R-rated material."
Go figure.........
