Pet Peeves

A few months ago at bible study we played a game and one of the questions was to name your pet peeves. It kind of got me stumped because I have so many, it was hard to name them on the spot. Since then, I've be compiling a list of pet peeves, there's kind of a lot to share; so here's my short list of pet peeves.



Melody's Pet Peeve's



  • Slow - to leave an event, slow walking in front of me, slow merging cars, slow workers


  • Waiting - in general just waiting for things and for people, time wasters


  • Things that are not put back where they belong


  • When someone leaves you a voicemail and says their call back number really fast


  • Long winded explanations


  • Driving - people that don't know the rules at a 4 way stop, motorcycles that weave through traffic with there dumb Mohawk helmets


  • The way someones hearing shuts off when they use a mechanical device


  • Annoying Sounds - snoring, ticking, dog licking, loud eating sounds and loud breathing while eating


  • Long pauses during prayer time at bible study


  • Parties/Events - party invites, parties to go to, baby shower parties


  • Lights left on in rooms that no ones in


  • When people don't take down their yard sale signs


  • Over simulation (TV on, computer on, music on - all at the same time)


  • People who answer or talk on a cell phone while at a register at a store



Okay, I'll stop there but the list goes on. Maybe you can agree with some of these and maybe you think I'm crazy. I'd like to know your unusual pet peeves.

Tribute to Michael Jackson

We started listing to Michael Jackson a lot just after he died, 2 years ago. Theo became a big fan and loves to dance to his music. I pieced together some of the short clips of Theo dancing to his favorite Michael Jackson song "Bad".

Blessed To Be At Home

This month marks 3 years for me working at home. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to do my job and be with my kids. It has been a fun and challenging time but I feel so lucky everyday.

Thank you especially to Mike & Irma Nunez. For letting me do my job from home so I can be with my kids. I know you may not always understand when I cry every time we talk about it but its just my response of how I feel. I am very thankful for you giving me this opportunity. Theo & Cady thank you too.
