More Of The Same

Resolution #3: Have more patience/be less of a bitch to my husband and daughter.
I forgot about this one the other day, which doesn't bode well for the rest of the year. That's not to say I won't still make the effort, but being that I've already forgotten once...

I'm a bit of a short fuse these days and unfortunately those closest are taking the brunt of it. I've heard people say, "Why do we treat the people closest to us worse than we'd treat any stranger?". Well, my answer to that is the obvious, if the stranger was in my house making a mess while I'm trying to clean, they'd hear a few choice words too. And on the other foot, I'm nice to my husband in ways I would never be nice to a stranger.

For fear of making this a blog about blogging, more things have come up (in my head) about how this works and the pros and cons of it all. For example, do you ask someones permission to put their name or stories in your blog? I'm sure you may have noticed multiple references to "my husband." Also, what if I've got a doozy of a story about someone that's not insulting, per se, but may be slightly embarrassing should they see the incident from my point of view. Or what happens if something I want to relate has happened to someone I'm remotely related to. Do I have to tell them they will be in a post? I realize I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be, but that's just part of my charm. Welcome to my blog that journals my blogging.
