Tirade Thursday

I’m a little Grump Pot today. Lack of sleep is certainly to blame, but there are a few other irritants. Let me list them off, and then I’ll move on. Why have a blog if you can’t rant a little?

1. Luv’s diapers. Dude, what’s the point? I’m all for generic and discount brands. But, when I have to change the kid’s outfit every diaper change? Ridiculous. Never again, my friends. Any one need some totally ineffective size 3 diapers?

2. If you book a doctor’s appointment for a sick baby and the doctor is running over an hour behind, why can’t they simply give you a courtesy call and say… “I know you have a sick baby and this is probably your baby’s nap time. Why don’t you just come in one hour later instead of making your screaming child wait here.” How simple would that be? Instead, I get mean glares from staff and patients. No y’all. It’s totally cool. I love getting spit up on, cried on, and peed on (thank you Luv’s) in public. It’s awesome.

3. Why can I never find stamps? I buy a huge roll, I hardly ever mail anything, and when it comes to drop something in the mail…. poof. The stamp monster eats them all.

4. I love my kids. I do. I really, really do. But, when I’m paying for pre-school three times a week, I want him to go to preschool three times a week. Every week. Sure, there are holidays, teacher conference, and blah, blah, blah. But why has he never had class more than three weeks a month? Ever? Grrr…..

Ok. I’m done. I feel better already…

    I bought a box of Luv’s one time, but when Jack woke up several mornings covered in those little bead-thingees, they never entered my house again. And I totally feel you on the stamps. I bought a Costco size amount of stamps, and I still have that problem. Now THAT’s ridiculous!
