A Case of the Mondays

I was going to blog about something sweet today.

With sweet pictures.

But I'm in a funk.

So instead, I'm going to post a list:

The Top Ten Things That Annoy Marisa
(Specifically, Before Noon On April 5th 2010)

1. Waking up to two whiny, demanding kids, whining in my ear, for anything and everything under the sun.
   
2. Emptying the litter box. Yes it needs to be done, but it still annoys me. Plus, I'm allergic to litter deodorizer.
   
3. When I tell Annelie to stop helping herself to the food in the fridge, but every time I turn my head, there she is, rooting through the cheese drawer.
4. Finding that all the clean clothes have been removed from the dryer and are now sitting on top of the dirty laundry pile. Thanks, honey. What a lovely treat.
   
5. My rotten stinkin' allergies.
   
6. The fact that Spring lasted for only one week, and the summer humidity has officially begun.
7. Having to tell the kids 300 times, before 10 am, that they better get the cat out of the cardboard box and stop shutting her - er... HIM - inside it.
   
8. Discovering that Annelie has pulled all the curtains down from my bedroom windows in a fit of destructiveness.
9. Needing to say, on repeat, for a good two hours, "Put the cat down. Annelie, put the cat down. I said, put the cat down. Stop picking up the cat. I SAID put the cat down. If you pick up the cat one more time, you will be on time out for the rest of your life."
   
10. Finishing my 4th cup of coffee, having an extreme case of the shakes as a result, and STILL being tired.

I could probably list about 20 more... but this was the top ten. So now I am done.

Also, I heart this song, and have been listening to it on repeat to get out of my funky mood. My sources say the afternoon will be less funky.



And if its not... well I may just have to raid the kid's Easter baskets for a chocolate fix.

Actually, I might just do that anyway.

Have a lovely day!
