On any regular day, everyone gets a little irritated with a situation/a something or a someone. Today, I’m sharing what annoys the you-know-what out of me this morning:
1. Mosquitoes. A long time ago, Chris told me that mosquitoes, aside from being flipping annoying, are responsible for pollination. So, aside from annoying me and giving my kid welts when they bite her, they are actually useful. Damn. I cannot pop outside without being bitten nowadays, and even though I have the superduperantimozziespray on me, they still think it’s cool to chow down on my elbows. (Seriously, ever had a mosquito bite on your elbow? The most unscratchable part of your body? Try it. It’s about as fun as root canal).
2. Liars. We know this one. It’s simple – tell the truth even if it hurts. I’d rather deal with your honesty than have to ferret out your dishonesty. If you find yourself lying in life, stop it. Unless you’re talking about where you hid the Lindt. You can lie about that, for the safety and security of your chocolate stash.
3. JudgeyMcJudgeyPantsPeople over there, who are telling people how to raise their kid/wipe their bum/do their job/handle their life. Here’s a tip, JudgeyMcJudgeyPantsPeople, do not judge until you live that life. That said, if a child is in clear and direct danger (look, we all know Michael Jackson hung his kid over a balcony…), then act. Until then, don’t judge. I’m SO tired of the “Oh, XYZ is a bad mom because she works all the time/didn’t breastfeed/co-sleeps/lets her kid paint the walls”. Be warned, too, that the moment you judge, somebody is going to judge you. That’s going to really suck for you.
So, in essence, things that annoy me today are things that suck – mosquitoes, liars and JudgeyMcJudgeyPantsPeople.
