Still mad....

Today finds me still mad.  Very mad.

The worst part is, we have totally been working with these people.  Now I feel like trying to help them is coming back and biting us in the backside.  How do I not become jaded about helping others in any way like this in the future????  I have tried praying on this, and I guess maybe it's too soon to find some peace about it.  A big part of me wants to start a legal process, but I still feel like that's not the best way to go about it.  I guess I just need some time to cool off.

So, so, SOOOO MAD!!!!!!!

I am so freakin hot right now I can barely even form coherent thoughts.  &$*%?^*$%^)#@$*%&Y)!!!

We have a small apartment that we rent out.  Very basic.  Advertised as such.  No kitchen even.  Not a surprise; it was advertised that way, shown that way, and leased that way.  Now that the tenants are having a bad time, it is now unreasonable for us to expect them to pay the amount they agreed upon in the lease, because, well, they can't afford it, and we ask too much for what they are getting.

Basically, it is now our fault that they both work at fast food restaurants, have car problems, one of them went to jail, and the list goes on and on.  BUT........she did talk to her lawyer and knows that they have rights.  Are you effing kidding me???????????  You don't have money for rent, but you have a lawyer????  Ohhhhhhhhhhh, that's right, I am paying for that.  Folks, I am dumbfounded.

I think that I should go to bed before I say something even more inappropriate than anything I've already put down.  Except that I'm still too pissed to sleep.  Woosah.  Goosfrabba.  I feel pretty????

The weekend is almost here!

Woohoo!  That means that I will get to see my husband, other than when he comes to bed in the middle of the night!  It also means the end of the regular football season.  Once we get the schedule for playoffs and such, or as the team mom called it, the "preseason," we will know just how close to the end we are.

I think I am actually looking forward to my quiet time tonight.  I am going to get some grocery shopping done, and try to get my house a little in order.  And then I guess I will settle in again with a nice glass of wine and enjoy some quality Duck Dynasty time.  Maybe tonight I will use a plastic cup just to make it feel more authentic!  =D

It is only 2 weeks until Thanksgiving!!!  Where has the time gone?  After that, Christmas will be here in no time.  Sometimes it seems like time just slips through my hands.

Marriage is Sacred

I saw a comment on facebook a couple of days ago, and it has really been under my skin since then.  It was on a post about some famous unwed couple expecting a baby, or they just had a baby, or they want to have a baby, or who cares.  Anyway, people were voicing their congratulations or nastiness.  Mostly the nastiness was about them not being married, and someone commented about the divorce rate and people not wanting to put the work into their marriages these days, which led to a response that "marriage should not be work."

What??????????

Everything worth having is worth working for.  Absolutely you have to work on your marriage.  All relationships require a commitment of some sort.  A relationship can't survive without compromise and compassion.  I would think that a lot of the people that get divorced would describe at least part of the reason for the divorce to be that one or both of them put their relationship on autopilot.  While I agree that some of the aspects don't always feel like work, that doesn't diminish their importance.  Even down to details such as telling your spouse that you love them are things that are important.  It would be easy to stop under the premise that the other person already knows.  That might be true, but very little effort is required to remind them every day.  So, while I know that the daily grind can sure take it's toll on things, I sure hope my husband knows how much he is loved!  I will always try to go the extra mile to make sure our relationship stays strong, because I absolutely want it to last until forever!

As for the person that thinks marriage shouldn't be work, I wish you the greatest of luck in either finding a partner that your theory works with, or a swift divorce proceeding.

Incognito Mosquito

Sorry I have been in hiding recently!  What with the hurricane, and the politics, I have been hiding my head in  my pillowcase.  Now that the election is over, for better or worse, I think it's safe to come out.  AND, that means no more terrible political commercials!!!!  Woohoo!!!

As a note, I am praying hard for our friends to the north.  There are still so many doing without because of the storm, and they're faced with snow tonight.
