What are your first world problems?

[Lilacs4Me]

My cat laid out a freshly dead mouse on top of my washing machine this morning. We knew there was something a few days ago because the cat wouldn't stop staring at the stove, then we saw a mouse last night in the kitchen and this morning it was right there for us by the cat on the washing machine lid before we even had time to go to the store to buy a trap and peppermint oil. It either got downstairs overnight or the cat brought it there...I have no idea and don't care!

I freaked out and started to cry and gag, everyone laughed at me, and DH took care of our little present. It took me an hour to stop dry heaving.

Yes, I have an insane mouse phobia. I fully admit it.

When I ate at Whole Foods, they didnt have any pulled chicken left.

I had to buy cider donuts in a package inside the apple orchard gift shop today. They were still warm but I was pretty disappointed that the little window on the side of the building was closed. I really wanted the warm ones in a bag and not a box.

We have a four day weekend and I need to call a few companies but nothing is open.

I have to get up early to catch a flight on Saturday. I hate getting up early on Saturdays.

Wegman's was out of my favorite $35 per pound cheese, so I had to settle for Walmart's brand of Velveeta.

That is at least a second world problem. Velveeta isn't even cheese!!!

The trendy brunch place we went this morning only served french-press coffee - I hate french-press coffee.


Two words - bubble bath! One of my recurring first-world problems is cruising in less than a full-suite without a tub and then I have to take stupid showers for a week.

You've reminded me of one of my first world problems. I used to love sitting in a bubble bath & reading for an hour. My back problems prevent me from taking baths now. I haven't had a relaxing, bubble bath in years.

I have a new one...

My brother just gave me an almost new sectional couch and it's longer than my old ratty couch. Now I'll have to rearrange the front room *sigh*

I'm trying to figure out how there's nothing between $35/lb cheese and Velveeta.

when I can't buy beer or wine on Sunday because I live in Indiana. That's when I also get a sudden craving for Chick-Fil-A

We live too far out of town to have food delivered.

I think it's a lot of work the day that our cleaning lady comes (every other week) because I'm rushing around clearing out the clutter before she cleans...

We live too far out of town to have food delivered.

We have one place that will deliver & it's an 8-mile drive (each way). We've never had them deliver here though. They also deliver to DW's work (15 miles each way). They get a LOT of business from her & her coworkers.

Someone bought me something today that I really wanted for a very special reason but it's not the kind I wanted. It's a lifelong commitment and I can't let them know it was the wrong one.

*No, it's not a pet.

The WORST!

I am insanely afraid of mice in the home. We live in a rural area on a wooded lot and are on a quarterly pest control maintenance plan and we still have a bit of an issue this year. After stalking the dishwasher for 3 nights in a row, our cat caught one at 4am and promptly brought it to our bedroom. We keep our bedroom door open to let the pets come and go so I slept in the locked guest room for weeks so I wouldn't be surprised by any "gifts" overnight.

Even worse, the cat randomly started stalking the dishwasher again while my husband was out of town for a week on business. My anxiety was through the roof thinking I'd need to dispose of a dead mouse! Thankfully, nothing was caught that week.
