Morose Mondays- Drama Fiends

I'm one of those people that stays as far away from drama as possible.

That being said, the people I'm surrounded by have made it their life goal to be drama magnets. For the life of me I can't figure out why it's so hard for people to just let go of what other people do. Why would you allow someone to ruin your day?

It's just like what parents tell their kids “well do you think that? No? Then why does it matter?”.

But seriously, WHO CARES?! Who cares about what other people say or do? 

Get over it. Stop wasting your time, (cue the image chosen for today's post). Live your life and stop letting other people dictate your happiness. All you do when you obsess over drama is push people away. No one wants to be around someone who is looking for drama. 

Not to mention it's more annoying than being woken up to a gas powered hedge trimmer being used right outside your window. Side note: Yes, this is how I woke up today. I deserve a donut...

Remember "Hakuna Matata" or, "Let it Go"? Disney was trying to teach you drama mamas a serious lesson there. Stop worrying about other people and their problems. You are allowing these people to affect your overall happiness.

Drama is like an addiction, why else would reality TV be so popular?

Craft Night

I know you guys are used to a picture here but the crafts aren't done. So you'll get a picture later. Don't be greedy!

Yesterday was such a great day. My cousin and I spent half the day lounging (this included minor housework, but lots of couchwork) watching some of our favorite movies. As always this was done while sipping, uh, chugging coffee.

The second half of the day was spent in paradise, commonly referred to as Target.

Although we had a screaming baby for some of the time (she was completely inconsolable, so we gave her animal crackers) we had an absolutely fabulous time.

A quick stop at Starbucks and we were ready for the craft store. This stop always takes a real long time for us.

Moral of the story is, we had craft night. When we lived fifteen minutes away from each other, as opposed to the twelve hours that separate us now, we had craft night almost every weekend. It was like we were never apart.

Craft night was what it always had been. It was great to pick up right where we left off.

Do you have any one that you can pick up right where you left off with?

Communication is key!

The title of this post is one million percent ironic.

I don't know about you all but my family has no idea how to effectively communicate.

Okay, I guess it is effective since we can accomplish things. But goodness gracious does it give you a headache.

Don't get me wrong I love my family and all it's quirks (a lot of the time I love my family for it's quirks). Sometimes I just wish things weren't so gosh darn complicated. Like why do we have to group text, why can't ya just pick up the phone?

Or, here's my favorite "Tell (insert family members name) that I need to talk to them". WHY CAN'T YOU JUST CALL THEM?! This one just blows my mind, I will never understand the need for a chain of communication.

Okay, okay I digress, my family can communicate- it's just a little dysfunctional. But really, what family isn't?

Tell me about your family! Is yours just as dysfunctional, or do you guys have a good communication system?
