Frustrating Five

I plan to get back to my Five on Friday, five things that made me smile during the week. First, though, I need to get my Frustrating Five off my chest.


5. Standard Time. I hate the switch from Standard to Savings Time. Now that we're on DST 8 months out of the year, can't we just be on the shifted time all year long? (And shouldn't summertime now be "standard" time and winter be "savings" time?) This week has been particularly tough with getting the girls to bed. All of us have had a hard time waking up.


4. Communication. I feel like the last island in the archipelago when it comes to receiving timely information.


3. Potty training. Just when I think we've progressed to the next stage, some new problem arises.


2. Allergies. This year's wacky winter has released the spring pollens early. I'm suffering greatly, especially on days when I forget to take my medications.


1. Self-flushing toilets. They're never calibrated to flush when I want them to flush, and they scare the girls.

Tell your girls that those toilets scare me too! I think they were invented by a man...

The time change had Nick screwed up a little bit. Let's not even DISCUSS potty training, although with two to deal with, you win. Yes, allergies are going to SUCK, and I am sure the bugs will be out of control as well. Oh, and self flushing toilets don't scare Nick, but the hand dryers scare the bejesus out of him. He's utterly terrified of them.
