i mean really. i'm 43 years old. i'm a nice person. how did people get to be so mean??? i try to be nice to everyone, no matter their station in life. even when people push me, i'm more of a doormat. i usually just back down. i just don't understand it. my husband thinks himself so much smarter and wittier than everyone else. he is constantly getting his jibes in on all of us. funny??? maybe, but at the expense of everyone else's feeling. you should see my 11 year old daughter's face sometimes - he just crushes her. my son is argumentative all the time. my father is a pessimist. my mother is a hypochondriac. i guess it's not just the "un-nice" people that are making me crazy, but the negative people too.

so what happened? i remember a time when I had only nice thoughts filling my head. i'm really disppointed that the not-so-nice thoughts are starting to take over. i'm tired of living in a negative nasty world. is it my age? i want the innocence back that i had when i was younger.

anybody else???
