Thursday Thirteen: Things That Are Hard

1. It's hard to hit a moving target (dirty, fleeing dog) with unstable ammunition (bucket of water) while you are insufficiently armed (not wearing glasses) in a hostile environment (shower).
2. It's hard to get out of bed in the morning when it's still dark outside.
3. It's hard to figure out why my Technorati rating has plummeted lately.  Somebody, please link to me!  Darn Technorati.
4. It's hard to throw away photographs, even of people you don't remember any more.
5. It's hard to believe Christmas is only a month away.
6. It's hard to force myself to eat chocolate.  No it's not.
7. Diamonds are hard.
8. It's hard to choose my favorite give a darn about remember which Jonas Brother is which.
9. It's hard to watch your kids struggle with social politics.
10. It's hard to get all those seeds out of a pomegranate, but so worth it.
11. It's hard to load the dishwasher with a dog standing on the open door.
12. It's hard to hear people singing "Happy Birthday" out of tune and not run screaming from the room.
13. It's hard to resist a kid who sends you the following text message: "Xoxoxoxoxoxo".

I think Technorati hasn't been working right for a while!

[Nona]

The first one is very, very hard.

[Rachel]

I'm with you on number 2 and number 4 . . . but, especially number 2!!!

Rigor sets in on my dog when she is getting a bath. You have to push and pull hard to get her in range of the shower nozzle.

Pray I never have to sing Happy Birthday to you!!!

Happy TT!

Love your list! It really gave me a chuckle! Only 3 and 8 don't fit for me!
