Time to Quit Whining!

As does everyone on the planet, I find myself being a little ungrateful and whiny from time to time. I have the same stresses as the rest of the human race and overall I have a fantastic life. I have an amazing wife, great kids, great business and fun hobbies. I recently bought my first new car I have ever had. A shiny new BMW. I instantly got into an accident in my new car. I whined and moaned for two days. In the middle of my little temper tantrum my sister-in law shows up at my door with her three kids. She has been keeping her regular beatings by her alcoholic husband a secret until now. After he threatens to burn the house down with her and the kids in it and then smashes all the phones in the house she makes a break for my house with her kids in tow. After a stressful weekend of trying to settle down the poor kids and setting up our house for them to stay I realized what an ungrateful spoiled bastard I can be. I'm worried about a luxury item while my sister-in law is trying to stay alive. I love that we have sober blogs and that I have the opportunity to confess my stupidity to all of you. It helps me gain perspective and keep my ass in line. Thank you for listening!
