52 Lists: Week #23-- My Pet Peeves

I sat down to write this week's list: Your Pet Peeves and drew a blank.  I could not think of anything for the longest time.

Which is just silly because I feel like I have an over abundance of pet peeves.




I am a pretty exacting person.  I like everything in my life a certain way and little changes drive me nutty.

I like my house neat and cleaned with everything in it's place... and I have three kids so that NEVER happens!


Here are my biggest pet peeves:
  • Shoes left on the stairs; inevitably I trip over them and fall down the stairs
  • Empty containers that everyone puts back in the fridge, freezer or pantry
  • When I talk and no one listens.... 
  • New things (like couches, washing machines, etc) that just don't last anymore
  • Unmade beds; beds just have to be made
  • Clutter... clutter of any kind drives me nutty
  • Being late-- I HATE being late
  • Disorganization-- mostly mine but if we show up for an event I may bet a bit snippy when it's chaos
  • When someone has a problem with me and talks to everyone else about it instead of confronting me
I'm sure I've missed a bunch of them!

What are your biggest peeves?

    Empty containers in the fridge and cupboards make me crazy, too.

    We have a lot of common pet peeves! I sooo agree with you on the "new" things not lasting.

      It's so annoying. We had our new washing machine for two whole weeks before it started acting up. Ugh!

    I think you are my twin because each and every one of them I could have written. Especially the being late...in my top three.

    Inconsiderate people...definitely my biggest pet peeve. I'm trying to teach my kids to be aware of who's around them and be respectful of them.

      Yes! That is a biggie! We teach our children that too.

      Me too; in fact if we're on time I feel like we're late.

    What is it with empty containers in the fridge?! It will not refill itself. Agree so much with that (and didn't put it on my list!).

      I certainly got a lot of ideas about pet peeves I had forgotten from reading the lists of others!

    When I talk and no one listens... hahaha! They never told me that was to be the story of motherhood!

      Right?! Funny enough my middle son is the one who told me (over and over) that was one of my biggest pet peeves. I couldn't help but think that it was ironic he knew that and yet continues to not listen to me when I talk...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
