A Young Wife’s Tale

Homemaking Tip for this week:
I don’t know if this helps other women, but I make deals with myself. I’ll find a girly movie I want to watch, and then I can only watch it while I’m ironing. Or I can have a piece of cake after I clean the shower. Sometimes if I’m in the middle of a good book, I’ll read a chapter, clean a bathroom, read a chapter, and vacuum a room.

What is up with people being so quick to criticize? So quick to make negative remarks and cut people down?

David and I have a theory. It’s technology’s fault. People are snarky online (which is still wrong, by the way) because you forget that there is an actual person somewhere out there that you’re talking to. This behavior is spilling over into reality. If I read a blog online and I completely disagree with whatever they believe, I am NOT going to start an argument. I may not read their blog, but why would I start trouble? Remember, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.
