Three things that are not connected to each other in any way that are really bugging me this week...
1) Our electric bill. The company here charges us an additional fee of $27 a month simply for supplying electricity. The wattage, use or location is irrelevant, we just get the charge. In our last home, which was older and bigger, sometimes our entire bill wasn't even $27. Get me out of here.
2) Yesterday I spent over an hour compiling a grocery list and clipping coupons. My cart was filled last night with off-brand products and $20 worth of coupons in order to feed our family fruit, vegetables and milk everyday. The family in front of me bought ELEVEN steaks (I counted) and a case of coke...with food stamps. I'm not going to touch the politics of this, but let's just say that I couldn't tell you the last time I bought steak...
3) Creepy quote from a Christian Birth and Labor book:
"You are at a most vulnerable time for spoiling your mind, heart and soul. Most often a women has succumbed to one of Satan's lies transmitted by the culture or the doctor. This is a little like Eve eating the forbidden fruit. It starts with just one intervention like going into the hospital for an induction, that is not God's timing. You have already taken your birth out of God's hands and design and put it into man's and Satan's."
Seriously? Give me a break.
Hoping to post something POSITIVE later today, now that I have this off my chest!

Whoa! That is seriously very creepy. What is up with birth books . . .
We just received a horrible electric bill a few days ago. Let's just say that I could have gone out on a few months worth of dates with that money :o)
I don't know what the think about the birth book, which is disappointing because I was REALLY looking forward to reading it. It's just the introduction to a 400 page book, so I just got to the second page before putting it down a little disgusted. Kinda puts into perspective the whole "Christian" post I had earlier. Uber-creepy.
The electric bill drama. I just don't like paying triple digits for electricity. When you're paying that much PLUS a random $27 it starts to seem a little ridiculous.
I think I need more coffee I want to turn my attitude around today...
I bet the author of the book would think I'm Satan in the flesh since I've had to have three c-sections... :-)
I know, right? In all fairness, this was from the forward of the book and not written by the author, but was obviously written by someone with a clear agenda! I'm trying to get through the book now, but won't post the title or author until decide whether it's worthy of my platform or not ;-) .
