mE aNd My BiG MoUtH !!!

Among the many things that we can learn in life, one is learning to keep our mouth shut when we really want to say something.

I have not been able to learn this method in life yet.

I feel honesty is the best policy, therefore, I'm gonna just be honest. I tend to "vent" on family members regarding issues that are the truth "in the family" and yes, should change. But, does it REALLY matter that much? o-come on, Penny, will it EVER CHANGE?

Hoping to get someone to make a move for the better, I just let 'em have it.... my opinion, that is.

I'm learning that no matter how much I complain, some people just don't have their priorities straight. There is nothing I can do to change that. I can throw a fit and DEMAND someone take care of their children, put them first and do them right! But, it falls back on me as guilt for ever even opening my mouth. In the end, there really is nothing I can do, but pray for them.

The bottom line is .....

and here it goes.......................the venting.......No matter how much you complain or give your opinion OVER AND OVER AND OVER, if someone wants to live their life like that, there is nothing you can do about it. If they want to rely on everyone else to pay their bills, take care of their kids 24-7, just so they can party life all out and drink it all up...

it does not change the fact that I should just let it be, and shut my mouth.

There is alot to learn from some people, no matter how stupid and selfish they are. I can be so cold hearted about people like that. I just call it as I see it. It is hurting me in the end, because I do not give it to HIM, I give it to THEM.

Someday, I will learn this lesson in life. Hopefully sooner, than later. Bail money is not in my family budget this month, or next, because I feel like slapping somebody.

The Laundry that multiplies

If it were as easy to teach the oldest boy multiplication as it is for the clothes to multiply around this house, he would have knocked his math out quick today! I feel like I did more laundry today than anything else. Is there a resolution to this?

I wonder if the family would go for a 5 items limit? 5 shirts, 5 shorts, 5 jeans, 5.... OK, maybe 10 pairs of underwear, a couple pair of socks and THAT IS IT! whoo-hoo !

Not gonna happen, not anytime soon.

I decided since the boys tend to stuff dirty clothes in their closets, instead of taking it to the laundry room, that I would just keep all their laundry in my room. That way, I would be able to wash, dry, fold & put it up right in my room, not allowing clothes in their rooms. Hmmm.......

it was a good idea at the time.

Did not really work. They still turn the house upside down looking for a certain shirt that I have been hiding because I'm so tired of seeing them wear it!

O-well~ At least it is not under their bed.

sigh.
