Man oh man. I feel like a mosquito in a mannequin factory. Everything is irritating me and I'm grumpy for no reason. I have been able to hold it off and not take things out on my family but I can feel it. I'm sure they have noticed too and bless their little irritating hearts they have been kind. I hate when I cant shake a feeling like this and it feels like I just need to go back to bed.
Little things bother me a LOT on days like this that usually only bother me a little. Like the fact that the chairs to my kitchen table apparently have a polar magnetic pull with eachother and never stay pushed in. Or that every single cup in my house has found its way to being dirty and at the side of the sink despite an empty dishwasher ready to house them. These little phenomenas in my house cannot be explained because "I didn't do it" is the auto-response programmed. Another interesting bit of physics that cannot be explained is how if there is a clean place in the house - the kids will gravitate to it to start a project or game. Another gravitational pull. Me. If I want my kids in a certain part of the house all I have to do is try to avoid them by going to that part of the house. Wahlah! There they are. In fact I don't even have to want them there - they go where ever I am. It would be nice to just have a few minutes to go pee without a knock on the door asking me what I am doing. "I am finishing my taxes and then I'm going to do some step aerobics!"
I think adding to my feelings is that Ruby has been a little glazed donut nosed, grumptastic little squeal monster today if I move out into the "no fly zone" - of either not holding her or being more than 2 feet from her. I don't mind so much because I know she is not feeling well but it is exhausting.
Tomorrow is election day and I think I am going to vote for Yes on Proposition Nap, No on the Levy increasing Scream At Eachother time and Yes to Amendment 9 - granting 9 hours sleep minimum to all moms.

All I can say is: "Amen, Sista'"
I loved this post. I will vote with you! We have a secret dungon where things go when they aren't cleaned up. I heard about a mom who only left out one plate, one cup etc. for each person. If you wanted to use your plate, you had to wash it! However, this is a great idea for moms who have kids that can do their own dishes. Good luck. I don't find that my kids follow me around as much in our new house- it has a very open layout.
ah 9 hours of sleep would be brilliant! :)
