These are some things I could live without:
1. The wailing child clinging to my legs as I attempt to vacuum (while the other child is laughing and clapping).
2. Changing a nasty diaper only to find out 5 minutes later that she wasn't finished yet, and changing the second nasty diaper only to find out that she STILL wasn't finished.
3. "Twinkle twinkle, little star" playing as background to every dream I have.
4. Being forced to sing a made up "tee tee" song before my son will use the potty.
5. Bodily fluids including, but not limited to: drool, urine, blood, and vomit.
6. The ridiculous things that come out of my mouth every day. (e.g. "If you don't stop hitting your sister with your socks I'm going to throw all your clothes away," and "PLEASE eat the brownie and ice cream so you won't be hungry later! I know you'll like it, I promise.")
7. Disciplining my child when it hurts me more than it hurts him.
8. The baby who SOMEHOW knows when I'm trying to make her go to sleep, and responds by screaming.
9. The "I don't want to go to bed" excuses I hear from my toddler: "Cup?" "Monkey?" "I'm skeeerd. Dark outside" "Uhhhhh....." (like he forgot what he was going to say)
10. Those people who seem to think that I don't have a life because I'm a stay-at-home mom; when, in fact, my job is more challenging, interesting, funny, and (eternally!) rewarding than any other job I can think of.
Have any more you'd like to add?
