Are we all self serving animals?

i found myself yelling at my husband today as he was leaving to walk the dog. As I realized most of my yelling landed on the closed front door rather than the intended recipient, I stopped to wonder what my actual problem was.
He had asked me to inspect something he saw on the floor which I did, but only after rolling my eyes and sighing loudly. His response was: well, I just hauled all the groceries in and now I’m walking the dog.
This response irritated me because I chose to believe he was trying to tell me he works harder than I do.
Whether or not this is true is not the point. The point is that I chose to believe that was what his thoughts were and I was offended.
I thought it was interesting that in one of my most relaxed moments, this was the behavior that came out.
I do not often yell at my husband in fact almost never. Like everyone else I have triggers because I am human and have memories, experiences, and the like.
I’m grateful that I have a safe place to be relaxed and when things like that happen, I explain to the hubs, we discuss, and it’s over. Just like that.

Different Management Styles?

This morning on the ride to work, I found myself thinking of Roseanne Barr and the recent cancellation of her T. V. Show.

I do not think it is okay to make personal attacks on anyone, especially if you’re a public figure. My question is this:  Samantha Bee made a very similar error right about the same time. Her show was not canceled. I believe it missed some episodes. Is the obvious difference in punishment due to the different network management styles or is it due to the fact that Roseanne is a Trump supporter and Samantha is not?

I will not comment on whether or not I am a Trump supporter, but will say there is an obvious double standard.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!  Share them in the comments!!

Sad World

I am very sad tonight. My husband noticed today a fledgling robin whose mommie was watching from afar as he hopped around and peeped.
Tom sent me a picture and I couldn’t wait to get home and see him for myself!
Before I arrived, the baby was run over by a car. This is nature and happens all day, every day, all across the world.
Still I am sad.
