Random Rants...

I have a confession. I like to carry around with me a soap box. And often, I get up on that soap box, even when no one has asked me to. And while I'm on said soap box, I spout off my opinion of things as if they were fact. I'm slowly learning that sometimes people not only don't care about my rants (my husband) but often have different opinions on these rants (luckily even though my husband doesn't care about my rants, he is smart enough to not tell me if his opinion is different when I'm in the midst of a good rant). Anyway, to avoid forcing people to listen to my opinions, you now have an option. Below are just a few of my simple and random opinions or rants I've had today. Take them or leave them.

1~ Daylight Savings time- I think it's stupid. Is it really necessary? Lafayette used to not change time during daylight savings time. Our farmers survived, our days didn't eventually turn into night because the hours were off. I really think it's part of Satan's plan to tear up the family. He knows that by simply making us change our clocks, our kids will no go to sleep when they should, and as parents, our patients will wear thin, which is never a good thing!

2~ Clothes- Really! Tell me why we don't just go for comfort? Why do I stress EVERY SINGLE Sunday because I don't have any clothes that fit my frumpy, had two kids, ate too much ice cream, I hate to exercise body. I really wish I could go to church in just a big old baggy jumper, and feel good about myself and feel cute. Will this every be a reality? Probably not, but none the less, I think it's a crock that clothes are made for skinny people, but they make them in bigger sizes, thinking that they'll look just as flattering on bigger bodies. YEAH RIGHT!

3~Honesty- I have two different rants about honesty.
FIRST: I hate it when people use honesty as a premise to be rude. Just because you honestly think it, or it's true, doesn't mean it HAS to be said!
SECOND: Be honest. Don't lead people to believe something that isn't true. Don't portray yourself, or something else, as something that's not true. I think it's my own insecurities (and jealousy) but I don't like it when people only pass on, and judge people by, the things they do exceptionally well. Don't judge me by the things you're able to do well. I'm not you. I'll be honest about that much. I have a lot of faults. That's a fact...

4~Laundry- Why does it have to start to smell if I leave it in the washer for a two days? I mean really, IT WAS JUST WASHED!! And forgive me for not getting it switched over right away. p.s. I also hate to sort, fold and put away laundry.

5~Parenting and housework- Why in the world do kids fight against anything clean and orderly? I get SO SICK of doing the same things over and over and over again!! I have contemplated many times, throwing everything in my house away, except for our beds. But I'm sure, my kids would still manage to trash the house. I really don't know why I try.

6~ Long blogs without pictures- Maybe it's my simple mind, but I like to see things when I'm reading a massive blog (like this one!) Okay, this doesn't really count as a rant, because I'm not that passionate about it, but I know I tend to get long winded, and I feel like in order to keep people reading, I need to attach pictures.
