My Enemies List

My Enemies List

OK, so I'm copying this from Jennie, who copied it from someone else! So props to them!

Nurses who work at a pediatric clinic (or a NICU for crying out loud) that do not seem to like babies. Go find a new job!

Furniture showroom sales people. Worse than car salesmen. I know they're just doing their job, but really, I'll come find you when I'm ready to buy something, I promise!

the deejays who play Britney Spears. Whether she ever had any talent whatsoever is debatable, but even if she did, it's all gone. Why do people listen to it?!

Speaking of musicians... Rascall Flatts. All of their songs are the same: whiny and cheesy.

Waiters/waitresses who hover. I'll leave you a bigger tip if you just bring our food, keep an eye on our drinks, and leave us alone!

Door-to-door salesmen. Please do not come ring my doorbell and try to sell me something. I'm going to say no, just because you did that (unless, of course, you are a girl scout!). Are we sensing a theme here?

parents who let their children run amock in public. especially if they are barefoot.

strangers who cough or sneeze (or let their children cough or sneeze) anywhere near me or my daughter! which is why i don't take her anywhere!

people who produce children's movies with bad language or jokes in them. Why?

Ikea for not having a huge cute rug at a cheap price... Ugh! :)

myself for not being able to figure out how to make Kemble a decent hairbow. Why can't I figure this out?!

drivers. pretty much ALL drivers. i don't think anyone in the world can actually drive properly. everyone is selfish, either in a huge hurry or going WAY too slow, discourteous, or just plain stupid. I cannot figure out what is so difficult about a four-way stop.

our insurance company for no longer paying for kemble's reflux meds. now we're going to have to fight them.

my camera batteries, because they are ALWAYS dead.

the "mouse" in our house who seems to be stashing away our stuff (because we couldn't have lost it): my 4GB SD card, several pairs of my pre-maternity jeans, my after-Christmas-but-before-Spring wreath,

Martha Stewart. She's such a $!+@# to her guests.

Kemble's scrapbook: it is just not finishing itself! Guess I'm going to have to do it myself!

Violet on Private Practice.

all the people (and it seems like there a lot of them) we see at doctors offices, or wherever that ask how old Kemble is and then look at me like I'm a crazy person when I tell them, and then say "but she's so little!". She's not THAT little, people!!!!!!!

people who say they have strep throat, when they really just have a sore throat.

people who can eat all they want, not exercise, and still be skinny. especially the ones that complain about being fat.

target for no longer carrying weight watchers yogurt. it's the best!!

the lovely walgreens employee by the name of brian who not only failed to have kemble's prescription ready (or in stock, as it turns out), but who was rude about telling me so.

in fact... rude people in general. i feel like no one is nice anymore. everyone's too busy worrying about themselves to stop and be kind to others. especially when i am a customer and they are an employee.... the customer is always right! if texas is supposed to be the friendliest state, i worry what it might be like to live elsewhere these days!!

signage with spelling errors. how many people see it before it's made?! there is no excuse!!!

people who put an apostrophe on a non-possessive plural. for example: "i hope my husband brings me flower's on valentine's day."

the people voting for public health care.


And I'm going to add to it:
My Hero List

my mom for being such a wonderful, attentive, loving, generous grandmother to Kemble!

good doctors who ease my mind

the inventors of the following products:
-video baby monitors
-Uggs
-pens that don't smear ink
-jeans that fit in the waist and aren't huge and baggy in the legs
-pacifiers (even though I swore not to have a paci baby, she loves them! we forgot ours at the doctor's office today, and i realized we couldn't do without them!)
-epidurals
-Prevacid... for making Kemble so much more comfortable!

those who are trying to put a stop to Obama's health care plan

The Duggars. I love watching them!

My sweet friends and family who take the time to read this.

My wonderful, loving, funny, generous, hot (even with his new glasses) husband.

My sweet, beautiful, smart, strong daughter. She is my world!


I'm sure there are many, many more, but my brain is tired.

What about you, who/what is on YOUR Enemies List?
