Attitudes

It's 12:56 am. And I am lying in my bed playing on my new laptop. It was quite an eventful evening which ended up in some stress. But overall it's turned out to not be so bad. A lot was accomplished.

It started out that I needed to go pick up a couch and loveseat from my boss. They were giving it to me for free which is wonderful, but when I got the couches home the bigger one didn't fit through my basement... It was seriously only an inch or two too big. Very frustrating. So after fighting with it for a while, we gave up. Decided it wasn't worth it and took it to my parents house, it's now sitting in my dad's shop. Let's hope I can find it a home.

Anyway, we had decided that we were gonna move all the rest of my stuff from storage in my dad's loft, and so after eating supper at 9:00 and then digesting my supper and playing on my laptop a bit, it was now 10:00 and I was still supposed to get my stuff out of there, so with the help of my mom, even though she was grumbling, and I was cranky, we got it done. And now I get to spend my week cleaning it all up. Getting stuff organized, and having way more kitchen dishes... Which will be very very very nice.

But tonights events got me thinking about how strange it is that we treat the ones we love the most with the most disrespect. Myself and my parents included. I know I should have stopped and probably not said a few things, but sometimes when people are just crabby and talkin in a rude tone of voice you just want to tell them where to put their stinky attitude. But how come a client off the street can come and talk rudely and we very rarely snap at them unless they have pushed you mighty far, but with your family it doesn't take long before their harsh tones get to you and cause you to treat them very rudely.

Anyway, I know it's something I really need to work on, cause I can't make my parents not act like that by always responding in a cranky negative sense. If I bite my tongue and just let them be cranky and not let it affect me, maybe they will realize that it's really not worth their time. It's really like that with anyone. We can't change people in general. This is something I've learned many many times over, and somehow it doesn't seem to stick. So it's time to put this little sentence into practice again.
