Be Angry but Sin Not...Eph.4:26

I am struggling right now with some anger I have felt the past several days.

We are still dealing with contractors......and their mistakes.....that are trying to take care of the lies and cover-ups the previous owners of our home left us. I am not happy.

As I mentioned in my last blog entry, I am tired of everything.

I am tired of dealing with other people's problems and then having to deal with mistakes made by our contractors. We have not had hot water in three days......because of his mistake.

I am tired of him not worrying about it......acting like, ooops...oh well.....and then waiting.....and waiting and waiting....

So, my question is.....how can I be angry and sin not???? I am not happy at the anger I have felt for these past few days......yet, isn't it natural? Don't I have a right to be mad?

And I always thought "what goes around comes around". Some call it karma.....so may I ask, "why is this happening to us". We are good people.....like I mentioned in my previous blog, before we moved we fixed our house up . So, why is all of this happening to us?

If you don't show that you are upset I believe that gives people the idea that they can walk all over you. If we had not gotten mad I believe we would still be waiting for our contractor to come back and fix his mistake....

Is customer service dead? Does anyone really care anymore?

Annoyances-Aggravations-Frustrations

I found myself saying the other day that "I am tired of everything!". This is an exageration of course, but life seems to have taken a toll on me lately and I am tired of it.

I am fed up with contractors and service people who try to take advantage of a rough situation you are already in. By this I mean by not doing everything they were asked to do the first time they were in your home so they can come back a 2nd or 3rd time and charge you another trip charge. I am tired of them putting us off and making us wait.

I am tired of dishonest auto mechanics who tell you that you have things that are wrong, when they are not.

I am tired of being at a 4 way stop and some bimbo goes ahead of you when it is not her turn.

I am tired of being told an item I need was ordered and when it should have been in 3 weeks ago it is still not in.

I am tired of people who pull out of you in traffic and then proceed to drive 20 mph under the speed limit.

I am tired of bosses who make you work odd hours but don' t make anyone else do it.

I AM TIRED OF BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND I AM TIRED OF BEING A DOOR MAT.

I am tired of cooking and cleaning and doing everything for my family and getting no appreciation. I don't even think they know all of what I do for them around here.

I am tired of never having any time for me.

I am tired of calling people, you leave a message and they never call you back.

I am tired of purchasing expensive equipment and then be ignored for 6 mos when you need their help.

I want to know:WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMON COURTESY? WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO DECENT, HONEST HUMAN BEINGS?

It's sad that we live in this dog eat dog world.........

And, did I mention; I AM TIRED OF IT!!
