Ramblings of a Crazy Momma: Things that used to piss my mom off, but didn't bother me, but now piss me off

I can remember some moments from childhood that stick with me. Especially when I am yelling at my kids!!!

I used to cringe when my mom would yell the dreaded sentence: "Megan Leigh, get your butt in here NOW!!!"

You could literally see me get all tense and defensive. I always knew it was one of two things (if not both on a good day). I was either in trouble for something my brothers tattled on me about, or I did something that I wasn't supposed to do and Mom was mad.

At the time, I never understood why my Mom was so freaking anal about certain things, now I see the light...

My feeling on the subject are in RED

I never understood why she got so mad when we threw our dirty clothes in the floor instead of the dirty clothes basket * What the hell is so hard about walking an extra 2 feet and putting clothes in the basket? I can ask and ask and explain, but no dice. Drives me nuts.
I was one of those kids that would eat all the marshmallows out of my lucky charms and then eat most, but not all of the cereal. Then I would either leave my bowl on the table, or stick it in the sink: Cereal and all. * Why for the love of all things holy can they not clean out their bowls?!?!? I hate going to do dishes and finding dried on, sticky, gross cereal.
Leaving the toys all scattered about instead of picking them up every night was a sore spot in our house. I felt like they were just gonna get played with the next day so there was no point in picking them up. Mom disagreed. * There is just nothing like going into your child's room to kiss them goodnight or just tuck them in before you go to bed and stepping on a Hot Wheel. Nothing like trying to hold in a violent cursing spree long enough to get out of the room. Also: Noisy Toys= BAD! Try stepping on the toy that won't shut up until it runs through a cycle. You know for a freaking fact that it has a off switch, but you can't find it for anything and the little monster that left it out is getting all restless and you just know that they are gonna wake up. yeah, toys HAVE to be picked up before they go to bed.

Those are just a few of the things that really get me that I know for a fact that I did. I have no doubt that there are more. I just cringe at thinking about it!

Now-a-days, my mom spends her time laughing at me while I am the one doing the screaming at my tornados. I think that is the only reason people say they want grandkids. They just wanna sit back and laugh!!!!
