Oh, Just Piss Off

1) For whatever reason the grocery store was mobbed today. As a result there were not enough open registers so I did self-checkout. I had both kids with me so I was trying to wrangle them both while unloading my cart and ringing up my food. It would have been about 50 times faster and 100 times LESS ANNOYING had the woman who works in the self-checkout section actually been paying any attention to her monitor. Had she done that she would have seen that my computer was seriously freaking out and I required some assistance like NOW. And of course when I asked for help I got the requisite sigh and eye roll. Bitch.

2) When you've spent only minutes at home w/ your family the past 3 days (who, by the way, are all sick and have been cooped up for the past 3 days) do NOT give me shit about the fact that I am "barking" at Jack for getting water on the bathroom floor while playing in the tub. Seriously. I might have to hurt you.

3) Do not equate losing sleep because your dog takes up too much room in your bed with the sleep deprivation that comes with having to get up all night long with a newborn. Sorry, but it's not even close. Not even a little bit. At all.

4) When I complain that Moms do not get to take a sick day, please do me a favor and just let it go. Don't come back with, "Oh, I know. I can't take a sick day either or else my staff would be so swamped." As above, it is not even in the same ballpark. You choose not to take a sick day for fear of the consequences. I have no choice. Unless I can get Mary Poppins on the phone a sick day just ain't happening for me. (oh, and this is not directed at the hubster, he takes a sickie whenever he wants)

Yes, I'm bitter. But I think I wear it well. And if not? Too bad.
