Rants and Raves

I should probably be honest and just call today's post "bitch and moan", because there's not much I will rave about today.

Rants:

• husbands who are too "sick" to come to the dinner table 2 nights in a row, but who are well enough to drag themselves out of bed for golf.
• children who bicker and then hurt each other. physically. when I don't feel well enough to kick their collective you-know-whats
• husbands (can you sense a theme here?) who drag themselves off the couch to grab a bite to eat after the football game, then leave all the serving dishes out on the counter for the kitchen clean-up fairy to take care of when you are already up in bed with a back ache
• husbands (yes, again, blame it on pms and kidney stones) who mutter and groan that they will have to go to work because of a meeting and say "yeah, I guess so" with reluctance when you ask if they are available to help with hockey pick up or drop off tonight. (despite the fact that you are going to work Even Though You Have Kidney Infection (Acute) That is Giving You a Holy Hell Back Ache)
• missing your mother when you don't feel good even though you are 46 years old.
  because sometimes mom is the only one who understands.
• children ( variation on a theme) who think that just because they are 13, they can say and do whatever they want.

Raves:

• Halloween candy. Anything chocolate
• cats who snuggle (I know I've said that before)
• friends
• tomorrow (November 4th in Upstate NY) could be 70 degrees.
  
• that's worth repeating - 70 degrees! Yippee!

Update, more raves:

• winning contests!
  
• Our Name Is Mud and Lorrie from Our Name is Blog
  

Whine over.

Sorry, I know this should be a witty, amusing list of rants and raves; and as I look back over it, it's not very witty or amusing. But, it is what it is and I'm leaving it.
