good morning!

I’ve had a great morning. Woke up at 6:00, had some freshly squeezed orange juice and worked out for an hour. Showered, dressed (just because I’m working at home today doesn’t mean I don’t want to get dressed!) and went in to get Nomi who was playing nicely on her own in her room. We had breakfast together and then she colored while I packed up her lunch. I had a cup of coffee and watched the news/weather for a few minutes and then we headed off to drop her at school.

Hahahahahahaha.

Here’s what our morning was really like: Nomi was up at 6 and she did play nicely for a while but was calling for me by 7. I didn’t shower, I’m wearing yoga pants and a cardigan that I’m pretty sure is from my maternity wardrobe. I ate half a bowl of cereal. Between cleaning up after this disaster of a kid (spilled yogurt, needed new shirt, spilled milk, needed new shirt, knocked over my cereal, needed new pants) and trying to get her lunch together while she literally hung on my leg, I didn’t have a chance to get the coffee going. Watched Elmo, left for school.

I did stop at Dunkin Donuts on the way home for a GIANT delicious coffee beverage. Sigh.

bananas

Some things that drive me insane (in no particular order):

• mushy bananas
• people who misuse the phrase “quote unquote”
• gum smacking
• men who sit next to you on the train with their knees so far apart that they actually take up 3 seats
• grown ups who cheat at board games
• incorrect apostrophe usage
• slow walkers in NYC who walk around 4 people across taking up the whole sidewalk – I’m really excited that you’re enjoying your vacation in NYC and I’m so glad you’re leisurely taking in the sights. But I have to get to work so could you just leave a little bit of sidewalk open so I can rush past you? I’m not on vacation and it’s pissing me off.
• grape soda – doesn’t anyone else think it tastes like medicine?
• people who say “not to be rude but…” and assume it means they can then say any mean horrible thing they want
• cat people – your cats are not THAT great and why do you need to have all these cat “things” around? Like the calendars, mugs, sweaters, earrings. Aren’t your cats enough?
• dog people – your dogs are not children

What drives you bananas?
