Yep,
Here it goes
My rant
It's been a while, hasnt it?
Well it feels like it has been a while.
I am sure I will have a much better rant next week when I start working a full time job along with my part time job (that is what real estate has become, part time, due to the down turn in the market). Yep, I will be surprise if this family remembers how to wipe their own butts by the end of next week.
Let's start right in on Hubby, shall we?
He informs me this week that "oh darn, i have to go to a meeting on valentines day"
And I say "you have to?"
"well, i need to pick up a bunch of stuff for another meeting"
"and you couldn't pick it up the day before or the day after?"
Then it dawned on me. In ten years of bliss he has never done anything more than a card for me on Valentin's day!!! Never! No gifts, no candy, no flowers. That has always been done by the girlfriends. So why are we even having this conversation???
I believe it was for two reasons.
1. To justify the fact that this year, again, I expect my husband to be an unromantic twit, but at least he has a good reason.
2. Just to piss me off
The weather sucks. Today was to be a mental health day before my big day on Monday. But it is -2 here. Not only that the kids are sick.
I took them to the doctor yesterday and so I am a day behind on all the work that needs to be done before I start working full time. So really, how can i get away? I just don't see it happening, no matter how bad I want it or need it.
Oh, yeah, there is my dad and my sister. They feed off each others drama and misery. Usually I am out of the loop. But, if he is going to be staying here for any length of time, i have to deal with it.
Ok, and what about peace. I have been searching for peace, but how the world defines peace to me is boring! MY peace is different!!! and I keep getting told I am wrong. I need more peace in my life, my pastor, and in laws and husband, and friends tell me. Well, why does peace have to be dull? Why cant peace be an understanding in chaos? Why is it all ways about quite? Arrrggg.
Thank you for your readership
we now return to my mundane life

I'm telling you, you're gonna be sorry...
okay already... sorry about what???
I think if you've always had a chaotic life(like me)
too much quiet becomes boring!!
What do you think of my age HNT?
"Why can't peace be an understanding in chaos?"
Oh, I think it usually is. Peace and quiet...sure, sometimes. But peace in the midst, that's the good stuff, right there.
Sorry about the unromantic twit husband.
tk-- i agree and i agree that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!
Lorraine-- :) i am so glad you see it that way too! and as for the husband, i am quite use to it (he got me a book for my 40th birthday, a book of short stories!!! i mean for my 40th???) Anyway, it is the way he his, why does he have to remind me!!!
My mom has the same deal on Valentine's day. She is used to it, but I know it would make her so happy if Daddy would just once spring a little romance on her that didn't involve a joke. I've been doing teh single thing for a few years now, so Vday is just another day, which isn't such a bad prospect, actually.
In my generation growing up in '60's most Australians never even considered St Valentines day... started to notice in the early '80's that the shops started pushing it...just another thing fro angst.
Sometimes when we were young and Don could walk we would be walkinh along and he's nick a flower out of someone's front garden and give it to me with a swoop...that did it for me.
Valenmtines is too structured and planned and can't force these things. I think it should be done away with...whhhhaaaa
hope not too much other drama... one day your life will be too peaceful and you will find yourself wondering where asll the people went - chaos is okay just take a few deep breaths behing a tree somewhere and cry a lot
"Any novice may find peace in a calm meadow. But a master finds peace in the heart of the city"
or something like that. I think it's a Buddhist saying.
So there you go, Master Mouse. (:
