I do however, stew and vent and stew and vent... and stew and vent some more. Then I am over it and I don't think about it again.
In my life about 92.71% of offenses are in the Minor category. The minor offenses can usually be vented out by a big fat eye roll. A hefty huff. Even a stink-eye glare with a tisking head shake can get the vent out.
The Moderate offenses occur about 6.92% of the time. Those are resolved with a good ranting, usually listened to by poor Ernesto. Yes, he even has to listen to the rants about himself. But don't worry those usually make him laugh. I'm not a very fierce angry person, although my kids might say otherwise.Then there are the 0.37% of offenses that fall in the ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! category. These kind of offenses get me really "spooled up". My dad loves that expression. When I get really spooled up, everybody gets to hear me vent and rant and rave. They happen rarely, but consume the greatest amount of ranting energy. I tell Ernesto, my family, and my girlfriends about it every single time we talk until I have that one conversation where the steam runs out of my screaming kettle and I am poof, over it.
Lately the numbers have been a little skewed. More like Minor - 75.63% Moderate - 17.15% AYKM - 7.22% I have been decidedly agitate-able. I have been suffering from a serious case of Steroid Simmer. And I am so over it. So is Ernesto, my family, and my girlfriends. But my kids are especially over it. Can you imagine being with a grumpy-upagus (the unhappy version of this guy) all day long.
If you have been on the receiving end of that stink-eye. I apologize. Management has been informed and we are working on a remedy.
16 more things to think about:
i like you mia. you make cute babies, you entertain me... you're good for lots of things.
i hope things mellow out for you... if you're like me, when you get pissy, you stay pissy for a while.
i wasn't going to say anything because i was afraid of being put in the AYKM group but since you said it...haha just kidding ;). ...I really am kidding. seriously. I haven't noticed it lately and hope I haven't done anything to offend.
It's the hormonal change after having a baby. I says it last for a good year. At least you give stink-eye. My issue is in my tone. I'm bound to offend someone just speaking to them.
Only 7.22% on a bad day? Wow. I am in awe. I'm around 47.35% on a bad day -- and that's giving me the benefit of the doubt. You are showing great restraint. Hope the management figures it all out and can get you back into your normal groove!
(Love that photo!)
I hadn't noticed any stink eye, but that picture says it all. "I just had a baby, I'm getting broken sleep if any, so don't screw with me and hey, stupid, annoying, chatty (Renee), smelly, loud, sensitive, breathing, moving people get out of my face.... got it?"
It's cool.
Oh lady! I heart you! and I would take getting stink eye from you, that would mean I finally got my butt over their to see you!
pray in the morning, read your scriptures, and say a prayer in your heart before getting angry.. just some step I TRY to do before giving someone the stink eye..
I said TRIED, (for the record)
hugs to you!
I love you you explain things. I feel very similar to you. I don't hold grudges and I much prefer to get over things than stew for years and poison myself with anger. But I do need a good vent to move on past the big ones, and even a good blog rant to move on past the intermediate ones. Thank goodness for blogs! And thank goodness for girlfriends who will listen to me rant about my in laws (the source of 99.8 percent of my AYKM offenses).
Don't come to NYC or your scales will really tip!
Just kidding. You should come. I'm willing to take that chance...
PS - that picture of you is my favorite!
I'm jealous. I want to hear your rants! =)
Would now be a bad time to say I think that picture is hot?
I would never mess with your stink-eye glare. Never.
That is an awesome picture! You can rant to me anytime.
The stink-eye...you are entitled to a few a year right?
It's a good thing that you have one full year to blame it on the baby hormones...after that, you are on your own.
Are you ungrudged now?
