24 Things That Annoy Me

In a previous post I spoke about People Who Annoy Me. In this post I will speak about several things that have annoyed me. The list below is comprised of things I have encountered daily as well as over time.

Bugs...All of them .
People who wait to get to the turnstile to look for their metrocard.
People who do not say please or thank you.
When someone who is not smelling so fresh stands in front of or near me.
When male family members and/or friends leave the toilet seat up.
People who cannot think for themselves.
Parents who only feed their children fast food. #learntocook
Parents who do not keep their promises
People who concoct elaborates stories in their minds and they believe they are true.
When I say Good Morning and the occupants in the room do not respond.
Being accused of something I did not do.
When someone lies to me (especially about something minor).
People who do not take responsibility for themselves, their actions or the lives they help create.
Bicycle/Bike lanes. If I am required to have insurance, bicyclists should also have insurance.
People who tailgate. This also includes walkers.
People who do not try doing things on their own before they ask for help or say they can't do it. How do you know you cannot do something if you did not try?
It is annoying when I return someone's call within 2 minutes and the phone goes to voicemail. As soon as I disconnect the call the person decides to call back. Really! I do not have time to play phone tag with you.
When a product is finished and no one in the house says anything until I decide to eat or use the products.
When driver blow their horns and the light just turned green.
Nosey people (neighbors, family members, etc)
Injustice
Women with these thick, jet black eyebrows that go all the way up to the middle of their forehead.
When someone asks me whats wrong after I have said several times nothing was wrong.
Speaking in another language during office hours.#veryrude

Waiting on God

I woke up Sunday morning with a lot on my mind. I made a phone call only to be greeted with negativity. I felt bad afterwards. I couldn't figure out why this person was so angry. I know I did not say or do anything wrong. That morning, I had a talk with God, but it felt different from our usual talks. Afterwards, I decided to sit on the porch to listen and to wait. What was I listening for? What was I waiting for? I was waiting to hear from HIM. I was listening for HIS voice. I talk to God often and I know he hears me when I speak. However, sometimes I feel like he is ignoring me. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity it happened. I heard him. He was responding to a few things I spoke to him about during my talk. I heard him say, he allows situations to occur in my life for a reason. He moves people in and out of my life for a reason. I need to stop trying to fix things (people, places and things) that are probably meant to stay broken. Stop fighting people who are ...

Twerk A Book....Make Them Pages Clap

Don't twerk something, read something. It is estimated that school summer breaks will cause the average student to lose up to one month of instruction, with disadvantaged students being disproportionately affected (Cooper, 1996). Hence, why it is important to read during the summer. Summer reading help our childrem retain and enhance their there reading skills. It also helps to magnify their cognitive skills. These skills include, communication (writing and verbal) attention, memory, logic, reasoning, auditory processing and visual processing which are all critical for learning. As parents we are our children's first educators and it is important to stress the importance of education. We must encourage our children to read throughout the summer. During the school year our children are required to read every day and night for a certain time during a certain time. I believe we should continue that process during the summer. However, the process should be relaxed. Allow t...

A Prayer for My Brown Girls

One of my prayers for my daughter's is that God continues to guide them as they navigate through life. I pray that they will be surrounded by and interact with like minded individuals. I pray they really know and understand that the decisions they make today not only will have impact today or tomorrow but also in the future. I pray that God continues to open doors, the right doors for them as well as close the wrong ones. I ask God to protect them from anyone who seeks to do harm unto them. Protect them for hurt, harm and dangers known and unknown. I pray that they always put their faith and trust in him. Continue to strive for greatness and do their best in all that they do. “When you have faith in God, you don’t have to worry about the future. You just know it’s all in His hands. You just go to and do your best.” -unknown
