what annoys me this day

Philippines
March 7, 2013 9:37pm CST
I am loving my situation now being a full time mom without business on the side. That means no much stress that I do get from other people and no additional bills to be paid. What just annoys me now is that when things get lost here in our house. I don't know why socks pair got lost and when things in the kitchen got lost too when I am the only one who is around here at house all day. I am annoyed too with my neighbor who don't want to remove his old, huge chicken rottissierre which is located outside our fence. I had included the photo here. We had already told them to remove this so that we could put our potted plants outside but he refuses to remove it until this day. Anither thing is that my husband and kids so much of my time whenever they are here at home. They always call me their mom whenever they need something. Oh well, maybe I am just burn out today! What will I do to this annoying neighbor? What annoys you today?

YOu may think you don't have a "job" but you do! A job that many, especially a man, couldn't handle! Being a stay at home mom, doesn't mean you sit around eating chocolate and reading love stories! It just means, you are self employed but don't get a paycheck! EVeryone looks to you for everything! And you have to supply it. However, since you do have a business background...figure out how to use that talent at home. Can't find the socks? Check the washer and dryer! Pin them together before you put them in the washer or better yet, make the owner of the socks pin the(with safty pins) together before they toss them into the laundry basket. Organize your cabinets...take everything out, and put back only what you need and want and have ayard sale with the rest. Lot of things you can do, you just have to figure how to make it work for you. Have a problem like the socks..figure it out right there and then...physical evidence helps solve the problem. Good luck!

Oh, trust me.. you are not alone in that "where'd it go?" delima! I swear there are times things just disappear at my house! I know it was there, I know I put it there, but it isn't there! Drives me nuts!

I just can't understand sometimes things being lost here at home when we are the only one who is here. I see things are all right in the mornings and afternoons are my time doing my crafts. I just wish to have postpaid connection here at our new place so that I can do writing jobs. My husband pomised to me to have a new business soon though. I might as well enjoy what I have now and not stress myself much. Thanks for dropping by.

You get irritating I think Cool down and take time to refreshing your mind. After that you can discuss or talk with your neighbour to find the best solution for the rottissierre. Sometimes it happen to me when I looking for something but could not fins it anywhere in the house but after few days I will find them stuck under bed.

I have a very long patience but I was veryu irritable that day. I mean, with chores done at home, my attention got transferred to those things like my neighbor.. I really need time to refresh my mind. I feel so lock up at home with just doing the same routines. I am not complaining but a little stress ouyt

I think you should have refreshment this weekend. Take your hubby and children to the beach for picnic, amusement park, or any other favorite place.

I am sure no matter who we are, especially as women, there are times that everything will seem to bother us no matter what it is, and then the next day, it might also be something else or nothing. Part of it I feel is hormonal especially for me, and something you have to learn to deal with. But sounds like you need to explain to your annoying neighbor you would appreciate if they could move all their stuff to where it is not able to be seen or dealt with from your viewpoint, unless to them, this would be too much to ask.

we had been talking to them most of the time to no avail. We will try to move it on sunday with the local authorities around. Let us see what will happen. I think that we women really think a lot. Things are kind of fime with me now. Maybe I was just so stressed out yesterday..

You know for the most part today I've been able to get through the day without anything that's really been annoying me. However, that has been something that unfortunately didn't last me all day long. You see, Kathryn and Paul got home from school and then we went out to get some dinner. Since we've been home from eating our dinner, the kids have done nothing but fight with each other and it is really driving me nuts.

Kathryn and Paul are your kids? How old are they? I can't understand why kids always fight. Maybe I am just just so stressed out yesterday. Most of the days, I am fine. :) I had learned to do all household chores in the morning and I do my own stuff in the afternoon like my cross stitch and readings. I just wish I have a postpaid internet connection again so that I could do myLotting again most of my free time like before. I miss being in the internet so much! I get to be online twice a week only.

Yes I understand that being a full time housewife and mom is a very challenging role. It will take a lot of patience to do it. Maybe, when you feel burn out and stressed, just take a few minute to rest and relax. And always remember that those people are your husband and children that you love dearly. With regards to your neighbor, do you still own the land outside your fence? If yes, then talk to your neighbor again and make things clear about it.

I forgot to mention what annoys me today? Well, early this morning, I am busy with encoding when my husband's nephew arrived with their maid and left the spoiled brat again to us. He was crying again and pretending to cough and vomit like he used to do to get someone's attention. He said he has wound which is already healed. I told him that I am going to look at his wound then he stopped crying. Because I am not yet finished with my work, I told him to just sat down and play because my husband just slept and I really do not want to wake him up. But this kid started to scream calling her grandma and started to hit my husband with everything in reach. My husband woke up and asked his nephew if he could sleep more but the child started throwing tantrums again. As of this moment, they are downstairs and I still hear this kid screaming and wanting this and that. It is a good thing that my husband is very patient.

I can understand with the thing that annoys you. Since my youngest is already ten year old, I had "forgotten" what it is like to have a small kid. My kids are never bratty though so it is really annoying to have that kind of kid. Another thing that annoys me is when my sister in law leave her kid here at home and it is like I have to attend to his needs when I am not doing that much to my grown kids. Maybe I am just really stressed out. The land outside our fence is still part of our rented place. Even the property owner had told them to move that out. Maybe we will move that with authorities around. They say that their thing isn't botheringus anyway so why do we make a big deal of it. It annoys us, really. Snd the thing is, it is our rented property, not theirs

Ah! The case of the missing sock, we have this problem all the time, mum takes the washing to the laundary, and so many times comes back with odd socks, I am sure they have a mind of their own and walk off and lose themselves. The trouble is with neighbours they are like family, you can't choose them, you are stuck with neighbours and when they cause stress, you can't escape them! Some neighbours can be really inconsiderate, selfish and don't think of others. I get annoyed easily at my father, who does nothing all day but watches television from the moment he gets up to the moment he goes to bed! What a waste when he could be helping around the house, but no he is too damn lazy.

I have been a full time Mom for a year now... and i love it... but there are times when i feel like i just want to get out of the house and do something by myself... like... just walk around the mall or watch a movie... at home... i take care of two kids... and the everyday routine is really getting to me... There are times when i stress out because there are so many bills to pay but not enough money at hand... so i always say to myself that i should be working... earning money instead of just be at home everyday...

Fortunately nothing annoyed me today till now. In fact I have done some help to others today and am quite happy on that. When I go to the roof of our house to check the water tank whether it is full or not, I seen the upstairs’ people water tank is empty. I asked them what happened, the lady said she run the water motor for one hour but some problem and water is not getting in. I asked them to fill their tank through our tank using some extended pipe. They become so happy and done it. I had to run my water motor 20 minutes more. On reaching office one of my beloved friend sent a mail to me informing about the quadruple earning in mylot. That is the reason now I am in mylot else I would not be here until evening time. Annoyance may be happen at home when things are not found in time. But I am very particular on keeping the socks together when I fold it after washing and drying. I mean, I am taking much care to keep things safer so that I may get it quickly. Even if sometimes I can’t get things and waste my time unnecessary and make me angry too.

Thanks for dropping by here Sreekala. Good to hear that you had a nice day. I am now okay busy with myLotting to have additional earnings. No one informed me though about quadruple earnings. I just discovered it myself the other day when admins dropped by a mail alert. I am looking forward to the coming improvements here in myLot though. :)

Yes, sometimes we loss our patience if there is something that annoys us. Luckily I have nothing to share with you any irritating situation that happens to me lately, but we can never say sometimes it just pop. About the rotisserie, you have done your part talking to them and still they don't do a thing. I think it's time for you to talk to the barangay head in your area to settle thing out.

The best thing you can do is to report it to your barangay so they can be sent a summon. You have spoken to them what you wanted and yet they ignored your request. You have every right to complain about them.

Thanks for reminding me that. I will ask my husband to talk to our baranggay so that they will be the one to tell them

Hi Bluespy ! Hay maybe you need to rest now from all the house chores now and join us here . This big bonus from Mylot am sure you know about it ! Grab it then instead of worrying your hard headed neighbor, it would be more a lot of fun here ! There are really foolish inconsiderate neighbors that can't be managed with a kind soft talk and forces you only to bring them to the authority . We can't choose whom could be our neighbors because not all territory we own. Some of us are blessed with good neighbors and some are not. What is important is we won't follow what they are doing but let us remain to be a good neighbor.

Hello Angelpink. I decided to cut off a little of our weekly budget to load up our prepaid internet connection! I call this ME time since my kids aren't around to bother me myLotting. Since moving to this new place for a month time doesnt give me a time yet for myself. Next weekend though, I will meet my friends and cousin in the main city (manila). I hope I will feel recharge after that.

LOL About the socks. it has been my problem eversince.. losing the other pair of my sock, I am alone and I am sure I am not eating socks. /sometimes, very embarrassing I was wearing different shades of socks. argh! What I did... I bought several pairs of same kind of socks. Use them all in a week, wash and then use them again same. If I lose a pair, no worries I got same kind of socks to take again. LOL

Maybe there is something about socks, lolz. So it isnt just me. I relly think I need a time for myself. I have a scheduled meet out with friends anyway. As to going to a salon, well, yes, thats ME time. I go to the parlor twice a moth to do my manicure and pedicure and something for my hair. It is nice to reward oneself and be treated. :) I honestly havent tried going to a spa rather than my hime massage. Maybe I will try that. :)
