So Irritated

My new "irritation" is people who refer to everyday events as "doing it as a family". Which means, everyone is present. I get irritated when people don't see everything as family related. They usually say this to look better to whomever they are speaking to. My husband and I are almost constantly with at least one of our children. My husband is a good father and I am a good mother and I don't feel like we need to justify it to anyone, or state it to get some kind of praise from everyone else. This narcissism is so irritating and facebook just exacerbates the problem. I can't stand all of these posts saying "so and so is spending quality time with their son or daughter". What is the definition of quality time and how "quality" is it if they are posting on facebook? For some reason I read all of this junk almost everyday, why don't I just quit before I have a stroke.

setbacks

What a terrible morning I had. We were all set to be "on time" to school, which is hard to do for some reason. I discovered that all of the bread was gone, except two heels, so I tried to improvise and make a vegetarian lunch. That didn't work because I remembered the kids are staying late after school today, so they need extra food. I decided I'd pick up a sandwich later and bring it to their class. Then on the way to school, there was a train, so I took a different route. What a chore. I ended up going to New Seasons and got a tuna fish sandwich (their request, thank goodness they agreed). I hate mornings.

True and honest

This blog is going to include the activities of my family including my thoughts. They are absolutely true from my perspective. I have a lot of different interests, as does my family. Today we went to Tae Kwon Do. My daughter participates in this and my son did for a little bit, but decided it was too hard. This was almost 6 months ago and he has since changed his mind about it. He wants to participate again, but I haven't approached the teacher about it. He currently is involved in Hockey, which he really enjoys. I'm glad because my dad played hockey in high school and well into his 30's. It would be nice if he followed my dad's interests.
