I am bothered. Not hot and bothered, that is whole other post that I probably won't post, well you know to much information. Anyway, I am choosing the prompt which asks me to write about something that I am bothered about this week. Well, there is just to much running around in my head so I have a list.I am bothered that in my facial hair removal process, I torn some skin off my face resulting a 2 very lovely, very attractive scab. Did I mention that this was only hours before family pictures were to be done?
I am bothered that I put a load of delicate wash in the washer last night and I discovered it tonight, still in the washer. Delicate clothes!
I am bothered that I have lost my husband to World of Warcraft aka WoW! I am not a hunting widow but a year round gaming widow.
I am bothered that all I get in the mail these day are catalogs. Yes, I know it is close to Christmas time and I have 4 kids to get presents for but do I really need the same toy catalog 12 times? Save a tree already and email it to me so that it can get caught in my spam filter.
I am bothered that when you get a Dr in front of your name it suddenly means that you don't have to clean up poop but in stead get to snicker at the fact that the nurses clean it up.
I am bothered that I thought that taking the kids to a portrait studio for family Christmas pictures was a good idea.
I am bothered that I have friends that are struggling.
I am bothered that the babies are not sleeping through the night and I can't figure out why and I might have to just let them cry so that I can actually get some decent sleep before I fall asleep on my feet.
I am bothered that I totally forgot about play group this week and in doing so stood up my good friend who was going to meet us there.
I am bothered that I have a list about the things that I am bothered about this week. A list!
Edit: After posting this, it is really bothering me that I have so much to be bothered by in a season when I should be looking for things that I am Thankful for. I am sorry about that. I am going to try and remember all my blessings and post about them next week. I have so many blessings and I am Truly Thankful. I will show you. Bare with me and thanks for the support.

Some of those things bother me too.Your kids are adorable!!
I couldn't agree more. As a nurse I totally feel ya on the cleaning up poop thing. If they find it they should clean it. Anywho...
You can cross the playgroup off the list! I'm not upset...we still had fun! Plus I didn't just miss you at playgroup...we miss you everyday!! Hope that makes you smile a little!! And go ahead...ask Dr "GVO" to help you clean up poop. But please let me be there when you do...LOL!!!!!
I am so with you on so many of these things (except the facial scab...you're on your own with that one).
Yep, it sucks to have a whole list. But now that you have it written down, maybe you can do something about those things. One suggestion: buy earplugs and let those babies cry it out. They are old enough now. At least until you get caught up with some sleep (does that ever happen?).
Hope you have a good day, despite being bothered...
oh sweetie, what a list! there are many things i could say "me too, me too!" to (heehee). i hope you feel better after getting all of that off your chest...i know it helps me! well, somethimes.
Me Too! But doesn't it make it all better to get it out there?
I am bothered that YOU are bothered that YOU have a list about the things that YOU are bothered about! Whew!
Next, try a list of what you are thankful for and what blessings you have in your life......it does wonders to help lift yourself up!
That's a good list. Now that it's out there, you can let it go:-) Yeah right:-) Hee, hee, hee.
Oh, I hate when I forget clothes in the dryer and they get that musty smell. It is especially bad when hubby doesn't realize the towels need to be rewashed, he dries them and then you use one after a shower and end up smelling like you rubbed mold all over your body! Ewwww!
i am bothered that there's so much bad in the world...on a serious note.
not so serious: sofie is still not sleepign thru the nite. what is that about?! i need to sleep thru the nite...doesn't she? i mean she's 10 months...must be a preemie thing. it's a preemie thing, right? please let it be....and that means she'll sleep soon. right?
Just call this good venting therapy. As you put it, it helped you to see that this is not the norm and you have many things to be grateful for.♥
Aw, I'm sorry so many things have you bothered ths week! And your skin--ouch!! Poor thing. I know it's extremely hard work to be a nurse--my mom is one--but SO important!
Hope nest week is much better!!
i have some of the same bothers. sometimes it's healthy to just get it out. :-)
thanks for your kind words over at my place...I appreciate your visit very much.
Don't apologize for being bothered!
People who only look at the glass half full or through rosey colored glasses all the time... I believe... are gonna die of a heart attack someday. Keeping it all bottled up and acting cheery all the time can be a bummer too!
Be who you are.. truthful, and just remember to balance the bad with some good.
That'll be $150 bucks please.
It's like vomiting - believe me, I'm acutely aware of this, this week.
Get it all out, or you'll only feel worse in the long run!!
Purge away...the sun is never brighter, the sky is never clearer, and the world never seems as awesome than right after you get your (mental) health back.
Em
Sweetie - this is the beauty of blogging... this is the perfect place to write this stuff down! For one it always helps to write stuff down, and for 2, you'll look back at this list in 6 months and say 'Oh wow - look how much better that is now! I'd forgotten all about that"
Hopefully you feel better after getting it out and at least you do acknowledge you have much to be thankful for. We understand!!!!!
Jen, don't feel bad. I haven't counted a single godforsaken blessing in over a week ... just feel like sticking my entire head in a gallon of ice cream and eating my way out.
It happens ... and we both still have a lot to be thankful for, even if we don't feel like going over them in our heads at the moment.
Well, I'm having one of those days, too. And I posted about it. And then when I was done, I thought "ugh... I know of others who are probably having a worse day than I am"
But I agree that its good to write about it... so let it out, sister!
Even though it's the season to be thankful...it doesn't erase the things that bug us! And you just gave me a post idea. Thanks!! :-)
Well it sounds like it has been a rough week. I know that a good night's sleep makes a huge difference so I hope you get one.
Hugs!
I am a gamming widow too & family photos suck any time of the year. We've never had a great one. Great Post!!! And thank you for visiting me. :)
Oh well we all have those weeks. Hope things begin to smooth out for you soon. I like the catalogs. I give them to my kids with a pair of scissors. Keeps them busy for hours.
We all have times in our lives where everything seems to be a bother. It's ok. Those times come and go and of course we all know that you are thankful for what you have. Just remember it's healthy to let it all out too.
I recently became a gaming widow. My boy taught my fiance how to play certain games. Now I'm usually in my room by myself watching TV. Irritating I tell you.
I look forward to your Thankful list.
Sometimes you have to list the bad to then appreciate the good. And most of us are bothered by most of those things!
I think its a good thing to get the things that are bothering us out of our minds, and into this post... maybe it will help you to be not-so-bothered!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
If I got started on what I am bothered by I might not stop. lol!
Right now I'm really bothered that I can't find the library DVD that is overdue. Argh.
Do you have any idea how intelligent you are? I love everything about this post. So true. Very smart. A bit introspective too.
Don't worry about it! I have days where I feel like every little thing bugs me. So I call a friend and tell her all about it... she empathizes with me and I feel all better!
Girl, list away! We all undertstand (Oh, do we understand!!) and love ya no matter what.
You can be Thankful and still bitch about stuff... If your life wasn't full, you'd have nothing to bitch about...
You know my list of bothered items is long too. But I my thankful list is still longer. Opposition....it's the thing that makes all the good things soooooo good.
The sleeping through the night thing....I'm sorry. I know how hard that can be. My oldest was 4 before she slept through the night. Sleep deprivation is so painful. Hang in there. They will all move out oneday and won't matter they if they don't sleep through the night. :)
LOVE THIS - We could go on and on couldn't we!!!
But it is good to vent sometimes! :) You sound almost as scatterbrained as I am! :) I am always forgetting about clothes in the washer! And end up having to re-wash them! :)
It's good, you're getting out all you're bothered by so you can focus on what you're thankful for. I get it. :o)
Oh shush. You're allowed to be bothered and post about it without feeling like you need to apologize.
Something bothers me everyday. Of course I have tons I'm thankful for, but we wouldn't be human if we didn't have those other things nagging at us too.
And I hate seeing my friends and family members struggle too!! I hope our economy works itself out and SOON!
