Things that irritate me Monday

Would it be too negative to write about things that annoy me once a week? I don’t think it’s healthy to be positive ALL the time. I just need to unleash sometimes …

1. Why do other moms at the mall toddler playplace think it’s OK not to correct their kids when they are blocking the slide constantly? I had to repeatedly redirect three different toddlers from going up the slide and down the stairs while their moms sat and chatted. Ella was just there to go down the slide and I wasn’t going to tell her to go the wrong way because I don’t want her blocking the slide for other kids on some other day. And wouldn’t you think once they saw me telling their kids not to do it once they would step in and back me up? I don’t get it. My only guess is they enjoyed relaxing while someone else took care of things.

2. Putting a carseat in. For some reason everytime this is a hassle. If our seats are flattened I usually forget to make sure the seat belt is out before putting the seats upright, so I usually have to take them apart again, get the seat belt out and put them upright. Then, and I don’t know why, but everytime I put her seat in I never get it in really secure the first time, so I usually end up doing it twice. And cussing a little. (Ella’s inside while I do this.)

3. Clutter. I just spent over an hour filing dr. bills, putting away random cds, cards, business cards, receipts … all that junk that you just don’t want to put away right away or even know where it should go. And during this time I found like five drawers that really need a makeover. It’s neverending.

OK, well I guess I don’t need to tell you how I’ve spent my day, do I?
