Pet Peeves Cont....

• Litterbugs. Slobs that throw their fast food trash, beer cans, smokes out of their car window. Slobs that leave their shiat at the beach or park so my kids can pick it up and add it to their sand castle. Used condoms on the sidewalk where we walk to school. Dirty diapers in the parking lots. Come on people clean up your own crap!
• My daughter's bad dreams.
• Female Doctors that tell my daughter her incredible picky and troublesome eating habits are the reason for her "cute" and tiny little figure. We changed practices!
• Moms that dress like their teenage daughters.
• Cars that weave dangerously in and out of traffic just to stop at the same red light you are at.

c.f.

p e t p e e v e s

+ Getting tired of the shovel after shovel
of team spain, the B.M. brains.
More proof that racial profiling
is target-generated,
not unjustly manufactured.
+ Freaks who call the wrong number,
but continue to call you,
over & over…especially late at night…
particularly from a prison in Alabama. Idiot.
+ Jerks that ask me which one
of my twins I like best.
Take your head out of your oshiri
before you talk to me again.
+ The mouthy know-it-all, who can’t help
blurting out an unwanted opinion,
& disrupts or destroys any conversation.
Shut Up.
+ The neighbor’s scruffy dog yapping
ALL NIGHT LONG.
+ The other neighbor’s roosters crowing
at 3 A.M.
+ The neighbors-in-foreclosure-who bailed,
leaving starving pets behind.

Hmmmm, despite all the annoying freak shows,

we’ve made it through another wacky week;

everyone is healthy & happy.

I can count my Blessings.
