How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Had A Bad Day, But APPARENTLY Not As Bad As Hers!

in Everyday on 11/21/12

Everyone is entitled to a bad day.  It happens.  I can admit to being tired, cranky, in pain, frustrated and simply down in the dumps, such is life.  The difference between people is how they handle those days. 

I am no saint.  I have lost my temper; snapped at my kids, cried myself to sleep, stomped my feet, even slammed a door or two.  Not too often, but it has happened.  Major guilt follows immediately afterwards.  Kind of seems the worst of me is reserved for those I love most, my family.  Um, isn’t this what most people do?  Vent, emote and show our true colours to those we truly trust and adore?   

Apparently not. 

Here’s what I would never, ever do: 

Yell at a stranger.

Scream at a child.

Give the finger to a passing motorist.

Stalk a blogger and leave an unmotivated mean or malicious comments on her blog.   

Maybe my skin is just not thick enough but I don’t get it. 

Oh and PS, no one is truly anonymous when commenting on a blog. 

Just so you know.

Hope today is bright and cheerful!

      Why can’t we all be nice?! Sometimes, I can’t believe how mean people can be…I understand we have to be understanding and loving and all, but sometimes, it’s just tiring…Here’s hoping we would hold on to our values and good naturedness, EVENTHOUGH a LOT of others don’t.

      P.S.
      I am also NOT a SAINT:(

      Absolutely agree! I know some “friends” who do that…or used to be friends…and I think it’s horrible. If you have that much time on your hands and you consider that enjoyable, you have a sad life.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
