Welcome to Monday Mayhem. This meme is for people who just wanna have fun on a Monday. Last week Mayhem was All About You so today’s Monday Mayhem is It’s All About Mom. Since Mother’s Day was yesterday, Mayhem hopes that all you Mom’s out there had a great Mother’s Day. You can answer the questions any way you want to. Be sure to check out the other participants.

1. How old is your Mom? If she has passed away, how old would she be? She will be 60 in September.  She looks young for her age, so it is hard in a way to believe that she is almost 60 years old.

2. What is/was your Mom’s worst habit?

I am sure she has a bad habit or two, but the one thing I would have listed here, she has worked hard to stop doing. 

3. What famous person does/did your Mom resemble (a picture of that famous person would be nice)?

I do not think she looks like any famous person.  She looks like my mom.

4. What would be one meal that you would love for your Mom to cook for you right now?

Fried Oysters.  They are so good.

5. Was your Mom a Stay at Home Mom or did she have to go to a work/job (and yes, Mayhem understands and knows that being a Stay at Home Mom is work/job) when you were growing up?

From what I can remember she was a stay at home mom when I was growing up.  She was president of the PTA at one time and that took up a lot of her time.  She volunteered in the attendance office of my high school (hard to skip school with her doing that) and I think I remember her taking some computer classes or something when I was a teenager.

6. If you could change one thing about your Mom what would it be?

Honestly, nothing.  The things about her personality that I really disliked she has worked hard to change.

7. Did you ever make your mom cry? if so, explain.

More times than I care to remember.  I was a difficult teenager, and that upset her.  Plus, as an adult I have done things that I am not proud of, that I am sure made her cry.

8. Have you ever told a lie to your Mom to protect yourself or someone else? If yes, have you come clean and told your Mom the truth?

Yes, many.  No, I have not come clean now.  I am 40, she is almost 60, “coming clean” at this time would serve no purpose.

9. What is the one thing that you most admire about your Mom?

I think she is very brave.  She has changed a whole lot.  To do that she would have had to look at herself very closely and identify her own faults.  That is a very difficult thing to do and I believe it takes courage and bravery to do it.

10. In 10 words or less, describe your Mom.

brave, truthful, strong, Christian, compassionate, helpful, loyal, fun, interesting, smart

Thanks for playing this week. Mayhem will catch you on the flip side next week.

It’s all about you…

Welcome to Monday Mayhem.

Today’s Meme is the Annoying meme
For each of the prompts, name what annoys you….
Have fun.

What annoys you about people that you spend time with outside your home (coworkers etc)?

Except for when I go to the counselor’s office, the only people I spend time away from home with is my family. The only time they annoy me is when my anxiety is bothering me and I want to make the shortest trip away from home as possible, and they want to take their time. Fortunately, that happens less and less.

What annoys you about people in your home?

Everything. Except for a very select few people, I cannot stand it when people are in my home.

What annoys you about talking on the phone?

Everything. It is annoying and it is distracting.

What annoys you about the over-used terms that people use?

Nothing Really. I am sure I employ lots of over-used terms in my speech and writing.

What annoys you about restaurant foods?

When the food is not as good as I thought it would be.

What annoys you about restaurant servers?

When they are cocky and arrogant, or when they flirt with my husband, or when they spend too much time talking at my table, or when they flirt with my husband.

What annoys you about reading other blogs?

Honestly? Nothing. Who am I to judge someone else’s blog?

What annoys you about memes?

Nothing, I enjoy them all.

What annoys you about commenting on blogs?

The captcha thing. Due to my vision problems, I often have a hard time reading those captcha words. It usually takes me three or four times of getting the captcha words wrong before I get them right.

What annoys you about people who chew gum?

When they do not dispose of it properly

What annoys you about driving on the highway?

aggressive drivers

What annoys you about shopping at Walmart?

Those people who are on the body spray and deoderant aisle, who think it is OK to spray the body sprays all over the place. Not only does it cause problems for people with breathing problems,in my opinion it is the same as shoplifting. They are wasting body sprays that someone may really want to buy and when they do buy it they are not getting a full bottle. To further annoy me, Walmart does not have a policy against this, or even against people using the fingernail polish in the makeup aisle.

What annoys you about kids?

loud, ill behaved children, who are running around like little maniacs.

What annoys you about your gender?

This is an odd question. My answer is nothing.

What annoys you about the opposite sex?

Men have this habit of not sharing their feelings, not all men, but the majority are wired that way. It can be very irritating for the women in their lives if they want to have a discussion about feelings.

What annoys you about shoes?

When I cannot find the really cool shoes in my size.

What annoys you about shopping for clothes?

Just trying to find clothes that I like. I am a bigger sized woman. Sometimes it seems to me that the places I can afford to shop believe that fat women do not want to have nice cloths.

What annoys you about music?

When it is too loud.

What annoys you about drinking alcohol?

I do not drink due to my health problems.

What annoys you about pizza?

When it has too much red sauce.
