jennickelsI just do--must be pregnancy hormones or something.
There are a lot of things that I want to bitch about but I'll pick one for now.
LAZY ASS PEOPLE! I don't mean the people that just sit and watch TV and don't exersise. I mean the people that are so F-ing lazy they will drive around a parking lot for 20 minutes to get a spot up front. No wonder half of American's are overweight. I am one of those overweight people, but damn, I would never drive around a parking lot looking for the closest spot. I always park at the far end and walk even when it is 105 degrees or 20 and snowing. I always walk. It isn't the end of the world if you have to walk, people.
At our Wal-mart we have these expectant mother parking places next to the handicap ones. They are supposed to be used by pregnant women or those that just had babies. It is a really neat idea and I wish more store did it. Only problem is most of the time they are used by people that are not pregnant. One day I was there shopping. I drove by the spots just to see but they were all taken so I parked at the very end and walked. It was pretty nice out so I didn't mind. When I got to the reserved spaces I noticed a big SUV in one. Then I saw a middle aged women go over to the SUV and get in and drive away. She was obviously not pregnant, nor was she with a pregnant person. There were no carseats in the car-so probably no kids. It just really irked me. There are lots of pregnant women in the area but we can't use the reserved spots because lazy ass middle aged woman can't walk 50feet to the wal-mart.
I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant now and have 3 small children and we always park far away from the door and walk. Why can't other people. Why must they sit in the middle of the lane, blocking everyone else, so they can wait for the first spot to open. I hate when people do that. It is rude. God forbid you have to walk people.
When I worked at Wal-mart back in Kirksville I didn't have a car. The store is about 2 miles from town. I walked every day to work and walked home every night--rain or shine, snow or stifling heat, whatever. It took me 45 minutes to walk to work. The people I worked with were astonished to find out I walked to work and lived in town. Some of them got in their cars just to drive across the street and go to work. WTF! people. Two miles is not that far. I actually kind of enjoyed it. I love to walk. I haven't done much since the kids. It is just too much of a pain to take them and when dh is around I'm just so freaking tired I don't want to go. I hope to start again once the baby is here and it is warmer.
I have gained so much weight over the last 6 years and I don't think it is all to do with being pregnant. Before I met dh I walked everywhere. To work, to go shopping, to the laundromat. When I went grocery shopping I took my bookbag and could only buy what I could carry in it--usually about 50lbs of stuff, give or take, and maybe one or two light bags that I carried in my hands. The closest grocery store was about a 25 minute walk. I also shopped at Wal-mart when I needed certain things. So I would carry 50lbs of stuff on my back for 2 miles, sometimes when it was 30 degrees out and there was 6 inches of snow, sometimes when it was in the upper 90s and 90% humidity (almost passed out from heat exhaustion one time). Laundry was so fun too. It was only a few blocks away but laundry is heavy. I hated doing laundry. Even though I was overweight back then I was able to pretty much eat whatever I wanted and never gained weight--it was in balance with my walking, I guess. After I started dating dh and he was driving me everywhere and let me use his truck I stopped walking and the weight started adding up. Then there were those 3 pesky pregnancies.
Today I was waiting for Meagan's bus and noticed the laundromat down the street (2 buildings away) was really busy. There were 4 cars parked out front. Another car (full of laundry baskets) pulled up. The guy sat in his car for 5 minutes waiting for another car to move from in front of the entrance so he could park his car there and take his laundry in. GEEZE PEOPLE! is it really that much harder to carry your stuff a few extra feet? We live two houses down and we carry 2 or 3 overflowing (read extremely heavy) baskets over. I have done it while 6 months pregnant and with 2 or 3 kids in tow. I can't carry them anymore, though. I'm just too big and they are too heavy. I always end up pulling something. And once the baby is here I'm sure I'll be carrying those baskets and then going home and getting a baby in a carseat and carrying that over, along with the other kids and then doing it all in reverse after I'm done.
Why are people so lazy? Or more to the point, why are people so freaking afraid to walk anywhere? I see these people in the mall all the time just walking around to get their exercise but I bet those are the same people that spent 5 minutes searching for the closest spot to the door.
I used to walk so much before I had kids. I would go out when it was snowing and just walk for an hour for no reason. I once walked for like 5 miles out to no where just becaue I was bored. Then walked home when I got tired. I would walk for hours on end just because I felt like it. Now I only walk when I have to it seems. The kids are always with me and they start whining after a few blocks. I know if I start walking again the weight will come off easier. It is just finding time and energy with all the kids around.
Anyway--that is my bitch for now. I might post some more later because things are really bugging me today.
