Red-headed rants and rambles

Having a rough week...

Thirteen Things that annoy HEATHER
1. People who don't signal turns when driving (or people who drive forever with their turn signal on!).2. Grammatical errors or misspellings on published documents (especially school newsletters or church bulletins) or signs.3.School "book fairs" that are more twaddle and toys than books worth reading!4. Dirty socks on bedroom floors.5. Things stashed in closets and under beds.6. "Health" foods that aren't really healthy.7. The fact that my husband gets to go to Europe on business this summer and I don't get to go with him!8. Dishes that sit in the sink, mere inches from the dishwasher, but are waiting for mom (or the maid, I guess) to load them.9. Diapers--cloth are cumbersome and icky (plus require lots of water to wash) and an environmentally friendly (and affordable!) disposable hasn't been developed . I feel guilty either way!10. Feeling guilty about things I don't have control over!11. Paying almost three dollars a gallon for gas.12. Jumping through hoops to get my younger ds qualified for state funded early intervention when I AM an occupational therapist and could write up the silly evaluation myself.13. Acting as a walking, talking Blackberry for my entire family ("Did you call your mom for her birthday, dear?", "Is your homework done/room clean/piano practiced....??").

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It's easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Worse than #4 is ANY dirty laundry NEXT TO the dirty laundry ahmper! lololol

ps: I LOVE cloth diapers & felt guilty the entire time I used disposable for dc #3! lol (not because of the environment though, but because I felt like I wasn't giving her the 'best' like I did w/ other 2 dc!) hahahah.
