I know that I’ve been a bit of a downer lately.
Some times are just like that. I’ll work my way back up to the surface again. In the meantime, I thought I could save time by spewing a whole bunch of negativity out into the blogosphere.
…so, here’s an incomplete list of
THINGS I DON’T LOVE:
1. 1. Georgia in July.
2. 2. Little plastic shopping bags into which the checkout girl puts one item.
3. 3. Red lights that last for 5 minutes.
4. 4. T.V.’s you can’t turn on without a degree from M.I.T.
5. 5. Reality shows, particularly the Kardashians and Tori and Dean.
6. 6. Highway patrolmen on the bypass.
7. 7. Politicians who leave long recordings on my answering machine.
8. 8. Stinky diapers. (No, we’re not potty trained yet.)
9. 9. Carseats.
10 10. Brain injuries.
Now ya’ll make me feel better. Give me a list of things you don’t love.
It’ll be fun.
(Plus…misery does love company.)

1. Steamy mornings when your sunglasses fog up the minute you open your front door, and your hair immediately droops.
2. The use of the word "hisself".
3. Planks (the worst exercise position ever).
4. Middle-age body changes.
5. Being called "Ma'am" by a 35 year old.
6. Always being expected to be the strong one to whom everyone feels free to vent.
Thanks, Kim, for being the one to whom I could mini-vent this hot, steamy morning. And, thank you for your blog. I have followed Katherine's miraculous progress since day one, have prayed many a prayer for you and your family, but have never posted. Your thoughtful, insightful, humorous, real, relevant, and Spirit-filled writings have made my day on many a day! So, on my long list of things I do love, I would have to include Margery Raves On and the Arnold/Wolf families.
I see your "Georgia in July" and raise you one broken icemaker.
1.Having to work EVERY moment of EVERY day at something only to have it not work (losing weight being my number one)
2. Every time I start an excercise program it ends up putting me in more pain than when I started.
3. The thought that I might never get out of pain
4. The thought that the one dream I have had since birth (that of marriage) may NEVER come true.
5. Struggling with issues that I should be way over by now.
there is more but I am getting depressed!!
And knowing that you are a debbie downer sometimes makes it more human for us. :) thank you for sharing your life with us!!
Just a start. . .
1. that ice cream has calories
2. the need for wheelchairs
3. mean, sarcastic politicians
4. illegal drugs
5. oil in the gulf
6. skinks(large, gross lizards) and geckos and the vacancy sign they put out in my front yard for all their friends
7. turning on Christian TV and all they are talking about is politics
8. mayonnaise(unless it is an undetectable amount)
9. drunk drivers
10. dirt instead of grass
Like I said . . . a few.
Funny how the first thing I thought of was the ice cream having calories! Especially Blue Bell Moollennium
It's me, Cilker! Here we go:
1. when I yell at my kids
2. how my shirt is stuck to me from sweat every time I walk outside
3. the nasty bugs that eat my tomato plants
4. that none of my best friends live in the same state/country as me (except my husband!)
5. that my parents are divorced
6. changing out the fish's water
7. repetitive unpleasant sounds/noises (like TJ's toy hammer that makes noises every time he bangs it on something)
8. not talking to my best friend (Katty) on the phone :(
9. being so far from her pain, recovery and family
10. errand days in July in Florida with 2 kids
okay, now I have tears streaming (see #s 8 & 9). Can we do a 'things that make me happy!' list tomorrow?

2. that my mom is dying of ALS and is suffering immensely
3. people who don't think before they speak
4. July in Georgia and probably August, too
5. not getting to the beach this summer
6. the light at the Oconee Connector
7. drivers who drive well under the speed limit in the passing lane because they're too busy talking on their cell phones to actually pay attention to their driving
8. people who are mean
9. people who neglect/mistreat animals
10. the mindset that everything wrong with public education is the fault of teachers
Gotta end this. I'm getting depressed.
1. DIVORCE!!!
2. Husbands who cheat.
3. Our enemy who works so hard to destroy our families.
4. Losing my house.
