Pet peeves

The past few days I've had a couple of pet peeves that have really gotten to me.  For starters, when people are merging into a turning lane that is NOT at a stop light MERGE ALL THE WAY!  Don't merge 3/4 of the way causing me to have to slow down and/or swerve to get past you.  This is a hazard for the people in the lane next to me.  I would consider this the "lazy merger" or "the merger who doesn't care if they get side-swiped"

Pet peeve number two, public restrooms.  Let me be more specific.  It bothers me when I'm in a public restroom and people are lingering around chatting while I'm trying to do my business, specifically something that causes a little more noise.   I have a slight bit of anxiety about it, which one would think that I shouldn't since I lived in a college dorm.  In a dorm bathroom you hear people puking on any given day so any anxiety kind of disappears.  Don't linger around people.  Respect those who are in there and give them some privacy, despite being a public bathroom.

Pet peeve number three.  When I'm out with my daughter, I don't care for people asking how old she is.  What bugs me is after I tell them they respond back with "Oh...she's small for her age."  Really, you're commenting on my daughter's size while you appear to be single and/or over-weight for YOUR age?  You don't know me or my family.  And just because you work at a daycare does not make you an authority on what size an infant should be at certain ages.  My daughter is over average in all of her percentiles thank you very much.  And those are my pet peeves.....for now.

Mother's Day

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for a wonderful Mother's Day!  My first mother's day was perfect.  We didn't have to be herded like cattle by eating at a restaurant that had atleast an hour wait.  We had breakfast at Heath's brother and sister in law's house with the rest of his family, and then my parents came to our house for burgers on the grill.  Like I said, perfect.  At daycare, Payton made me an impression of her hand in clay.  That was my first gift of the weekend when I came home from work Friday night.  That night Heath took me to dinner at Firebirds in Omaha.  It was an easy way to avoid the busy Mother's Day crowds, and a way for Heath and I to enjoy the day as a family.

Saturday Payton and I hung out while Heath was at work til noon.  Then I had to go into work for a bit at 4:00 to upgrade a bank's software and was there for about five and a half hours.  So I'm glad we went out to eat Friday night.

Sunday Heath gave me the rest of my gift which consisted a card from Payton with the new Jason Aldean and The Band Perry cd's and  wonderful pair earrings to match my mother's necklace Heath gave me when Payton was born.  Like I said, perfect. :)
