WHY?
I have noticed that lately many of the posts I have read are "why" or "does this only happen to me" I realize these things occur on a daily basis. I was thinking about so many "things" as I was picking up my house. I thought I would jot them down. Pictured is my vacuum cleaner in which you would think I have owned for ever.....sadly, it is about 2 years old and obviously so cheap that we have duct taped it together! So everytime I have to change the bag, yes I have to unduct tape it and redo it. "Why do you do this you may ask?" Only because the dyson vacuum I want is like a million dollars! So Doug and I vowed that we would never buy another cheap thing if we had to, because it ALWAYS breaks! Note: which means we don't go buy things for the house too often. I think for me typing them out is therapeutic. So here it goes:
1. Why do 3 out of my 4 kids go to bed crying all at one time. Can't they all just be happy?
2. Why is it when you just finish mopping your floor on your hands and knees someone decides to spill a beverage or get crumbs all over it! (All I am asking is a few hours for it to stay clean)
3. Is my 14 month old going to ever stop teething? I can't bear the ear pierce crying as I am trying to change his diaper due to a terrible rash! Doesn't he know I am trying to help him by putting on the Boudreaux's butt paste?
4. Can't our husbands come home when they say they will be (not 2 hours after the time they told you) When I ask him what took so long... the response I get is "xyz needed my help and I had to start a surgery or round on some more patients" This is a classic response and for those of you who have medical spouses you know what I mean. Can't they be selfish for once and say I need to go home and SLEEP since I have been up for the past 24 hours?
5. Does it have to cost an arm and a leg to have a nice picture of your family in the house? I just ordered a 16x20 and my jaw fell open when I found out the price!
6. Is is so wrong of me to just want to have an hour to myself without interuptions? Or how about a couple of "free" days off with no strings attached?
7. Does your child who NEVER wets the bed have to do it the day that you put clean sheets on it?
8. Why does something that you know you have done before have to be more complicated the second time? i.e. posting my picture back on (I know how to do it and it won't let me rrrrr!)
9. Does your children's activites that you put them in have to drag out for what it seems like is eternal. My daughters dance recital isn't until the end of June. Shouldn't it be more like May? I am ready for a taxi break.
10. Why is is cheaper to fly to Mexico or Europe from San Antonio than to Salt Lake City?
11. Why is it that each child you have trys to for go a nap at an earlier age? (Taylor took one until she was 5, Jared was 3.5) Luke is only 2.5 and needs the most sleep (he is my worst sleeper EVER!)
12. Why does the season finale of Alias, and 24 have to be on the same day along with game 7 of both the Phx Suns and Spurs? And no we don't have TIVO!
13. Last but not least shouldn't you be able to stop "aunt flo" from coming if you have decided you were not having any more kids? (my cramps are starting)
14. Whheeew! Okay I think I am done with that. Feel free to let me know if you have some "whys" in your life.
