It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before (like every week), but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~Do you get a lot of door to door salespeople in your neighborhood? I know I have posted about this before, but we get a lot. And it still annoys me. And what they are selling is all over the place. I do not mind the kids who come by selling’s things one bit. Coupon books, Girl Scout Cookies, Boy Scout Popcorn, whatever, I will take it! But meat & furniture off semi trucks, $300 books (no for real), carpet cleaning, etc? No. It’s all “Hi ma’am, sorry it’s so late but we want to come in and clean a room of carpet totally free. Look I have a badge!” Umm, first of all, it’s 9pm, so no. And second of all, is it normal to let strangers in your house just because they have a “badge”? That creeps me out. I could make a badge too? Maybe I watch too much Dateline, but I am just not cool with it. And why do you tell me you have been busy cleaning my neighbors carpets for the last few hours? You have not. We are all friends. I’d know.
~What are you getting your mom for Mother’s Day? Do you do something special? Or if you are a mom, do you expect something special to do done for you? I have no idea what I am getting my mom (she’ll swear she just wants a card, but that’s not fun) and I really don’t expect anything from the boys since they are so young (although I hope L has made me something adorable at school). I love the idea of a fancy Mother’s Day Brunch, however, I think that is something that would be more fun when WB is older.
~I really really need to start working out (so badly) and would love for it to be in the mornings, however, like I have mentioned a million times, I am so not a morning person. At all. But I mean it obviously can be done and I want to know what some of your tips / tricks are for getting up in the morning instead of just hitting snooze a million times? Because I would like to get this 30-45 minutes out of the way before my day starts. Because once it starts? It never happens. So help me!
~Do you have any birthday traditions? Like every year you go to the same place for dinner? Or do Birthday Interviews? A special birthday breakfast? In addition to the balloon door for L, I want to do something fun with his gifts, like do a scavenger hunt type thing and maybe start a tradition with that?
~Ohhh, and what should I send into school for L’s birthday treat? The only things that are not allowed are cupcakes (too messy) and anything with peanut butter. I want to send something fun, but I also don’t want to sugar up the class either. Any cool, not-messy ideas?
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
