Getting to know me....Getting to know all about me...

It's Monday and for some of us that means it's time to participate in Friend Makin' Monday's over at Kasey's place. I just love Kasey! She is such a sweet, cute little thing and she always makes me smile. If you haven't met her yet, head on over - you won't be disappointed.

This week Kasey has said:

Today's task: 10 things that just really get you fuzzed up (that means makes you mad)

I'm listing 10 but none of them are any less significant than the other, so I'm not numbering them, mmmkay?

* The mistreatment and neglect of children. I have been known to intervene when I have no business stickin' my nose into people's business or even to my own endangerment if I feel the situation calls for it.

* When people wake up my sleeping children. Um, hello? Do you not REALIZE how hard I worked and what I had to do to get them to sleep? I mean, especially, if Corban and Brennan are sleeping at the same time. That's like a freakin' mini-vacay! Ooooh...it just really chaps my hide and makes me tre' grumpy.

* When people are mean to my kids. I have to remind myself that I could get arrested because I'm an adult, sometimes. Like when that snotty little kid at the bus stop - who is in FIFTH grade - was pushing Cara down just to take her place in line. Oh man. There is steam coming out of my ears *now* thinking back on it. I had to send Rob up there with her so that I wouldn't fling the moron child across the road with my super-human mommy strength. Or when the lady across the street screamed at my girls when they were trying to take her flowers as an act of kindness? Yeah. I still have to remind myself that I can't put nails in her car tires or egg her front door.

* Tardiness. I detest tardiness. I hate when I am late for something - it's enough to send me into a panic attack, I swear it. I dislike, immensley, when people are consistently late to things. I think it shows a lack of concern for other people and that you think whatever is going on in your life is infinitely more important than the person/people you are late to meet. Even if it's an event - being late is just not cool.

* People who don't even TRY before they've decided they can't do something. Do I have to elaborate on this?

* Eternal pessimists. Raining on my parade. That seems like two things but it's not. People that always think the worst in every situation and that are CERTAIN that the world is out to get poor wittle them just irk me to bits and pieces.

* People who always have to be right, no matter WHAT the cost (and even if they're WRONG). This one is tricky. I mean, who doesn't like to be right, right? Right. No one likes to admit when they're wrong. Present party included. What I MEAN is - people that will argue and berate you just to make themselves feel superior and "right" even if they aren't. They can go crawl in a hole and smell the stink of their own pompousness.

* Back-talking and mouthing off. Makes me froth at the mouth like a rabid dog.

* People who lie and cheat. This is, like, a no brainer, right? Does anyone say "ooh! Hey! You know what I *love*?! People that lie and cheat!!" No. Well, maybe criminals and crazy people (mutually exclusive?) but not everyday average human beings.

* People that drive in front of me. I had a whole list of infractions when I realized that none of them happen BEHIND me (well, except tailgating) so I just decided that I hate when people drive in front of me. So don't, ok? Just pull over like I'm a fire truck and pull back out 25 feet behind my vehicle. It's a new law. Ask Obama.

Hey - thank you SO much to everyone that came over from Kasey's last week and left me comments! I *still* haven't made the rounds like I wanted to, but I am determined to do it this week. :-)

And because I don't want to have to make ANOTHER post today I'm just going to remind you that you need to get your recipe in and link up to Mr. Linky for the Iron Chef: Crockpot Throwdown challenge for April!! We're picking our three recipes on Wednesday so have your recipe in by Tuesday night! I have a FAB prize for the winner. :-)



Oh! Also! Next week is the end of the Hair Dare!!! You need to get your hair done so you can enter to win. Even if you just had it done not too long ago an dyou look adorable (like her) you can still enter your before and after photos! Woot!

Ok, I think that's all.

Have a Monday!
