Can I vent here???
I can not stand people that complain for such dumb things. I feel like everyone's updates on facebook are complaints, after compaints, after complaints. I understand that everyone has the right to be upset and frustrated every one in a while but I'm talking about cronic complainers! I feel like slapping some sense into people. I wish they would realize how blessed they really are!!!
I have been in such a weird mood lately. I think a lot has to do with Layla Grace. I was obsessed with her struggles for weeks. It was so bad, that my DH forbid me to read up on how she was doing. I didn't listen to him and read anyways. Her story has really made me realize how lucky I am. I find myself really appreciating every second I have with my healthy baby. Anyways, I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

Re: Can I vent here???
I, too, kept up with her blog and twitter updates. You are so right it makes you truly value what you have.
I agree about the chronic complainers. I think its ok to complain but also tell cute stories and other things. The ones who are only b!tching are annoying.
Vent away! I see some FB comments and think "what is wrong w/ these people?!" For the chronic complainers, you can modifiy your news feed to prevent you from seeing their constant postings.
Sorry for the question, but who's Layla Grace?

Warning: it's very sad. She was a 2 year old girl who passed away last week from cancer.
OMG, I think this everyday!
Complaints about the weather, the time change, the traffic, the fact that you have to do extra work, the way your shoes fit, the wind in your face, the song on the radio, how your underwear fit... Seems ridiculous, but so are the complaints! I have resorted to hiding some people on facebook so I won't have to read them!
I agree. For people that are just temporarily annoying, that's what the HIDE button on FB is for. For the irredeemable, there is the defriend option.
And sometimes I just take a break from FB and the computer altogether for a while.

This! Especially just taking a break from FB. I think I've added too many people that I'm not that close to and, lately, I have no interest in sharing personal things on FB. It's terrible, but I may have to use that defriend option.
Oh, I could go on and on about annoying status updates! The chronic complainers are the worst. Everyone has bad days and needs a little sympathy every now and again, but people who are constantly in need of attention are immediately hidden or defriended.
And on the other hand, I also can't stand the "my life is so perfect, envy me because I don't have any problems" updates. Yeah, sure.
don't have time to read everyone's responses, but just wanted to add that Layla Grace really affected me too. i would refresh the twitter feed on my iPhone almost once an hour, and when she finally passed, i felt very empty. it definitely puts things into perspective and has made the whole ordeal of going back to work a lot easier because i know i have a healthy baby to go home to.
everything is relative. people who have no real tragedies going on in their lives will complain about things that are probably silly to most people. people who have really gone through a lot know how to not sweat the small stuff. i think i fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. i try not to be a complainer and i usually only complain about fairly serious things or things that have been building up for a while. i hate complainers, so i definitely try not to be one myself. i really think those chronic complainers are just making their own lives more miserable.
I couldn't agree with you more! This is exactly what I feel like commenting everytime I see a "traffic sucks" or "the weather is too cold" or "I just got a paper cut"
hahahahahahaha-LOL at "I just got a paper cut."
Although I notice we are all complaining a bit here. J/k.
Mostly I just try to give people the benefit of the doubt. After all, we all have our days . . . I'm sure some of my fb updates have been drivel, but oh well. Not writing a book or anything.
Vent away. I was talking about this with my husband and a friend the other day. I have change so much thru out the years and I try to learn from those who are less fortunate than me and still see the beauty of things.
I can't stand complainers (I know the occasional complain is fine, I might do it too). I am talking about those who open their eyes and are tired, the coffee is not hot enough, the baby is crying, won't eat, my boss is a pain, I want to go home....and on and on, all by the same person....LMAO. You get my point I am sure. Are you getting a lot of those about the time change????....lol
I read a little bit of Layla's blog and can't get out of mind one day that her mom begged for one more cry, one more pulling of her pants, just another day. When my kids are being difficult and give a hard day I thank god for them because I have them and they give me those days.
Sam is a great inspiration as well.
