Countdown: My Top Ten Annoyances Of The Week

It was tough to narrow it down to just ten . . .

10.  Temperatures of 104 degrees (keeping everyone inside and under my feet).
 9.  A child that will not sleep . . . no matter what.
 8.  A husband that will sleep . . . no matter what.
 7.  Mama getting no sleep!
 6.  Paying $400 for a new windshield for my truck.
 5.  Target . . . just because.
 4.  Bill collectors who refuse to believe that I'm not who they're looking for and keep calling.
 3   The next person who asks me to do a damn thing.
 2.  A house dog with a bladder infection.
 1.  The Fourth of July on a weeknight.

Have a fabulous Fourth!  And, don't stay up too late!

My hubby can sleep anywhere and anytime. And I can sit and watch him, sadly getting no sleep. I wish the 4th of July was not in the middle of the week, I do not feel like going to work tomorrow. Sorry about your doggie, I hope it recovers quickly. I wish you and yours a HAPPY 4th of July!

happy 4th! no fireworks here...too dry...we might burn ourselves up if we tried...

Top of my own list would be freaking fireworks, which have been every night for almost a month already, and took it up a notch last night, booming away until 3am. I would cheerfully kill the next a**hole with a cherry bomb.

I hate when people ask me to do stuff! Sure glad I never asked you to...oh wait, I did. Shit! :-P

Oh well. Here's a little trick my old grammaw taught me. She sat me down on the porch rocker, took my little hand in both of hers, and told me, "Shay, there is no problem you'll ever have in life that one loaded revolver can't solve." Then we baked cookies. Good old grammaw!

Sounds like a very tiresome week, here's to a better week-end.

I'll swap you the 104degrees for our 17C and the rain?

We don't celebrate the 4th of July here in the UK but I hope you have a wonderful day! Sounds like you are having a great week so far anyway. :D

Pat Hatt said...

Surely sounds like one of those days.

I'm feeling your pain on many levels.

No fireworks here - cancelled due to drought.

Two things that Florida has going for it right now is temps in the high 80s, and free windshield replacement with our auto insurance.

Happy Fourth!

You only have ten? I have ten every day! When it comes to mid-week holidays I feel the same about Thanksgiving, (I usually work the following Friday)and about Superbowl Sunday. (Wouldn't a Saturday night game make for a better party?)

You did make me laugh this morning! But at this stage of the game, the day of of any holiday doesn't make a lot of difference as most of the old birds here celebrate any day they can still get up!! Happy 4th anyway!!

I'm hearing you loud and clear on #3. I'm sick of doing stuff for other people. Why can't we be the ones getting stuff done for us?
