I totally fancy myself as some sort of kind wonderful guy and I guess a lot could be said for having that outlook, but it also gets me into trouble sometimes.. I love people. Well, for the most part and sometimes they wear out my last nerve. Not sure why, but sometimes they do...
This is the weekend for our Annual Fall Festival in my town. The entire place stops doing what they do and they converge on the downtown square which is quite historic and everyone celebrates the year we have had and its a very fun time. There is a parade and a carnival and booths downtown and a carshow and people come into town for this event. It is a major great time. I moved here 9 years ago and we bought a home on College ave which runs parallel to downtown and the parade route passes by there. Well guess what? every year..they block off our neighborhood for an entire day. .People come and sit in the yard. They crowd the house and you can't have plans cause they won't let you drive to your house.. every stinking year.. I find myself so worked up at the police and the pedestrians because my children have always played fall sports and someone always has a game that day or practice.
Yesterday was no different.. Jo had practice right before the parade. I had to drive nearly 45 minutes around town trying to find a route home that would allow us to be able to drive to our driveway. I was flipped off twice yesterday..by WOMEN..hello..and I got to the parade with my kids I was so angry that I was totally critical of everyone in the parade.. Why my mental attitude has to take shape? I have NO idea..
I repented of my attitude with the Father, but I can't help but be angry that it frustrated me so much. We went to the carnival last night and I watched my children having fun..it helped take my fury away.. ; )
