Suburban Dilemmas

So I have a friend who has a twitter account called Suburban Dilemmas. She tweets random things that us middle class Americans get annoyed with or vent about, that are usually silly. For example, one tweet says, " My kindle battery died so I had to play on my iPhone." A lot of time they end in #ohthedilemma.... It's funny, but at the same time it really makes me think. It puts things in perspective, when I gripe about things or get annoyed with things that are not only trivial, but makes me sound like a "spoiled American."

I thought about this today, while I'm working from home (working like 2 hours), and we have electricians here to fix our pool lights. And I start feeling annoyed because I want to work out, but I can't leave the electricians here by themselves!! #Ohthedilemma! Ha Not only am I extremely lucky to have a wonderful home, a home with a pool, work from home, work very little, not to mention that I am healthy enough to work out, (I could go on and on about the ways I've been blessed) and yet I still get annoyed at the silliest things! God forgive me for being so selfish!!!

So the next time you want to gripe about something ask yourself, is this a "Suburban Dilemma" or a true dilemma?

Hope the people that read this (like two people) don't think am an awful person for confessing my selfishness;)

  1. Such good points! I think my biggest battle is with the kind of selfishness that you are talking about. Thanks for showing the humor, though, of laughing at yourself. We are so spoiled, aren't we?
