As always this month rolls around and if you have kids in school or even homeschooling the craziness begins. It’s a month jam-packed of activities, paperwork, events and more! It’s madness and looking back I wonder why I would ever expect anything to change this year. I suppose I was delusional thinking I had a grasp on things this year.
How about you? Here is my scoop!
This month I learned that:
10. when someone shows you who they are you should believe them. ( Yes, that person that told you they have no loyalty to anyone, the other one that bashes every single person in the room to you……You have it right there. They won’t be there for you.)
9. waking up with a canker sore sucks. ( How can you focus on anything when you have that annoying thing in your mouth!)
8. people think that because I have chickens that I have an endless supply of eggs. ( I have 6 chickens they lay maybe 4-6 eggs a day. There are 4 people in my house. I’m not swimming in “extra” eggs.)
7. sometimes I tell people that I don’t work when they ask me because I don’t want to explain blogging to them. ( I know what some of you are thinking, “No you don’t work. You just get free crap and write about it.” But it is work, and I do get tired of trying to explain it. I need to change that I suppose.)
6. I hate close talkers. You know, the people who get right in your face when they talk to you. ( There is this one lady I swear I run from every time I see her because I feel like she’s invading my spacial boundaries. She’s nice, but too close for comfort.)
5. when someone starts a conversation with, “I’m not judging you, but I have to ask…” you know that means yes, they are judging you. ( Enough said.)
4. just when I think I’m doing everything wrong I need to just stop and look at my kids. (They are proof that I do get things right sometimes!)
3. I can’t stand the iPhoto upgrade on my computer. ( I can’t do anything with it! I need to find some time and figure out how this crazy thing works!!!! Help!!!)
2. my cat will pee in the entry way if I let him stay upstairs at night. ( I spent money at the vet because I thought he was sick, I bought special scents to help soothe him and he still does it. “Habit” says the vet $400 later. Now he spends the night in the basement!)
1. my kids will forever keep me on the edge of my seat. ( In the last 2 years we went from a public school family, to a homeschool one/ public school the other kid family and now this Fall we will be the private school family. Life just keeps changing!)
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I get cankers sometimes and yes, they suck. It hurts for like a week, too.
Amanda Love says
#10 and #7 are oh so true. I don’t tell anyone that I work either because they don’t understand and when someone shows you who they are, really believe them.
Jessica Harlow says
I love #4. 🙂 The day to day work and responsibility routine can get old and whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed or frustrated that I’m not doing this right or well, I just take a minute to appreciate my 3 kiddos too.
Christine Luken says
My month has been pretty great! I totally relate to #7. People think that because I’m self employed and work from home that it’s not a REAL job. Haters gonna hate! 😉
Tamara says
Ugh, close talkers! That’s on my top ten pet peeves list. I’m so glad you mentioned it.
Also, canker sores are terrible. I haven’t had one in forever but I’ve been in that torment before.
Cathy says
I have to say that June has been pretty great for me so far, except for the fact it’s gone by way too fast because I want summer to move as slowly as possible.
Karen Glatt says
I agree with this one big time! When someone shows you who they are you should believe them. ( Yes, that person that told you they have no loyalty to anyone, the other one that bashes every single person in the room to you……You have it right there. They won’t be there for you.)They will not be there for you, but you have to be there for them and loyal to them. A relationship is not one sided!
Terri Ramsey Beavers says
I love your 10 things. I can relate to #7 completely. It’s hard to explain reviews but it is work and takes many hours daily just to promote the companies. EACH one.
Jeanine says
I too hate close talkers. I didn’t realize that until recently but it’s too much for me to have someone in my comfort zone. My kids always keep me on the edge of my seat too. KIDS!
Kiwi says
Canker sores do sucks! Also I hate close talkers too weirdo and uncomfortable.
Heather Lawrence says
This month has been busy!
I’m finishing up a course and the kids start summer vacation tomorrow.
I can not wait!!
Debbie Denny says
Sounds lik some good and some bad. Your good was very good.
Liz Mays says
Wow that cat pee situation really stinks! I hope my daughter’s cat doesn’t have that tendency when she arrives at my house.
becca says
I do the same about telling people I don’t work. It is sometimes so much easier.
DJ says
Love #8; that’s pretty funny. I hope to have chickens one day soon though.
Lorane says
Lol at #8 .. #1 is so true , my grandma used to always say that and now that I’m an adult I finally understand what it means
Krystal says
I’ve always wanted to have chickens for their eggs! I Didn’t know what the average was that they lay. Cool.
Tiaras & Tantrums says
I get the blogging thin g- I just tell people I am a writer now – then they don’t look at you like you have three heads.
Carol Bryant says
The month of June has been fab for me so far, knock on wood. A lot of dreams realized, plans made, and decisions moving forward with a loving family. I will agree – canker sores suck LOL
Uncle Wally says
#3 Yes, what’s up with that “photos” “upgrade?” With no announcement it just sort of showed up on my computer and started sucking in all my photos. It looks similar to iphoto and so I thought it was an upgrade, but then I couldn’t find my photos when I went to iphoto to look for them! It doesn’t seem like an upgrade at all, but a whole new program. I still haven’t received any notice from Apple as to why it’s invaded my computer or why it’s better than iphoto or any comparison at all. Bad move, Apple. Someone’s sitting on the can on this one…
Mama to 5 BLessings says
i hate canker sores and they come from nowhere too! Sounds like you learned quite a bit this month and it’s not over yet!
Amanda says
#1 for sure! Just when I think I have those kiddos figured out, boom, they change life up on me!
Debbie L. says
The endless supply of eggs is so funny. SO TRUE!!! When we had chickens friends would stop by for eggs and be shocked that we did not have 5 dozen!
