Random thoughts

I haven't managed to put together a proper post, but here are some random thoughts for the weekend. They are most likely just a rant that I am too nervous about posting the full on diatribe on the internet where someone might tell my mother what I said.

• Sharing a bedroom with a daughter and a mother that both snore and one of them is trying to sleep on top of you is NOT restful.
• I really must figure out how to change my interactions with both my mother and my daughter, because the irritation at them is eating me up. (Possibly related to the first point?)
• Is it normal to enjoy 75% of your extended family 90% of the time you are with them? And the other 25% somewhere in the 40-65% range?
• I hate feeling like I can't win. If something bothers me and I speak up everyone gets super defensive and chastises me for making them feel bad. If I don't speak up and feel irritated about it, I am admonished for being "unpleasant" since my answers are short and a bit terse. I suppose the only option is to never be upset by anything. If you figure out how to do that please be sure to drop me a line.
• Blow up mattresses are mighty freaking cold to sleep on unless you spread a heavy blanket or sleeping bag on top of them.
• I have got to stop complaining about people my daughter loves in front of her. Which really means I have got to get out more without her so that I have some room to vent without doing it around her.
• It is unlikely that I will ever become vegetarian even if raising cows organically and grass finished produces a ton of methane gas.
• Engaging your aunt who looks rather gaunt while you are overweight in a discussion about food and eating habits will not lead to a happy place.
