I hate to complain, I really do. I make an effort to stay positive and focus on happy things...BUT there are a few things bugging me and I need to vent.
1. Blogger. I have been trying for DAYS to change my look. I made a new header with a cute coordinating background. But Blogger is NOT letting me change it. I get the same flippin' error message each time. Apparently this has been a problem for the past week with others as well. Blogger, if you're reading this, would you PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM?!
2. Blogger. Why yes...I did just complain about them. Did any of you lose followers overnight? When I went to bed last night, I had 137 followers. I lost 5 today. Does that really matter? No. But, I was starting to question my last post. I was beginning to think I really offended a bunch of people with my supermarket makeout session. Surely my mom was the only person truly bothered by this. But, when I made my blog rounds this evening, I discovered I am not the only one with this problem. It seems that Blogger got up last night for a midnight snack and ate a bunch of followers. Rudeness.
3. Cavities. We discovered Cole had a cavity at his last cleaning. That was annoying in and of itself. We had it filled today. He did amazingly well, but when he came out all groggy-like and saw me, he broke down. Big tears. Lots of drooling. Very confused about why he couldn't feel half of his face. He has bitten his tongue about 32 times. Every time I look at him, he's got more fresh blood on his lip. The advice the hygienist gave me, "Watch him to make sure he doesn't bite his tongue." Um, I can watch him all freaking night...it's not going to stop him from accidentally biting his big ol' numb tongue!
4. Little Miss. I know it's shocking that such a sweet faced little girl could be on my list of annoying things...but I gotta tell ya. She's wearing.me.out. Aside from her normal bossy, demanding, difficult self, she's been waking up at 2 a.m. fussing and then up for the day at 5:00. The main problem with this (aside from the fact that I would LIKE to sleep in a little bit on the weekends) is that it interferes with my trying to get ready for school. I like quiet mornings with no one bugging me or demanding 27 things from me all the while I scramble to get dressed.
5. My hair. It's long. It's unruly. It's in major need of some color. Blick.
This is the nightly "choosing of the pajamas" ritual. You would be surprised at just how long one Little Miss can take to lay those clothes out JUST RIGHT in order to make her decision.
6. The news. If you know me, you know I don't watch the news. It's sad. It's depressing. And inevitably there's some tragic story about child abuse or murder and I just.can't.take.it. So, I don't watch. But on the rare days when my husband is home in time to watch TV, he turns right to Nightly News. I can't imagine how ANYONE wants to listen to the same freaking thing every night. The economy, unemployment, economy, economy, economy. I understand it's bad. I really do. But I also believe that the media is doing nothing but making it worse. Just SHUT UP about it. Talking incessantly about it is making people even more scared. They are freaking out and not spending any money. How is that helping? I just don't get it.
Ah. I feel much better. Thanks for listening. Now I am off to bed. Yes, I realize it's only 9:00 but I need to finish my book and am barely keeping my eyes open as it is.
And now...your moment of zen.
What's bugging you?
