Therapist for A Day

Do you ever just want to complain about a thousand things that are driving you crazy?  I guess that's why rich people have therapists....to listen to them complain and then they can be all smiles on TV. 

My poor husband and patient girlfriends are usually the recipients of this hostility, but today is your lucky day.

First up on my OMG list.....Why are the two roads to my house literally lined with trash?  I mean, who actually throws soda bottles out their car window? .It is 2011.  Everyone knows that litter is bad for the environment and wildlife.  If you don't know this by know, read a book.  Then find a trash can.  OR, you can follow my example and let it pile up in your car for a month.  Either way, throwing it out the window is not acceptable. 

Secondly, I live in the country.  One of the perks to living in the country is that you can burn fires on your property.  However, for the past three nights someone has been burning what smells like rubber tires and releases a terrible gray smoke that we have to breathe.  Seriously, you can't really think that is OK. 

Finally, in a completely unrelated topic, why when I punish my child, I am the one who feels terrible?  I asked Luke to pick up his cars and he replied, "Nah, I don't feel like it."  I in turn, took two of his most special cars as punishment for not listening and arguing with me.  Twenty minutes of crying later, the end result is that he went to bed early, still crying, and I feel terrible.  Being the Mom is hard. 

Thanks for listening.  I feel better now.

  1. And that was free! I agree, being a mom is harder than I ever anticipated. I've definitely had moments when I fee like I punished myself more than my child.
