Today has been an annoying day. I did manage to clean up the living room, until cam woke up of course and recreated his messes. I even did a few loads of laundry. But then I had several solicitors come by the door, usually while I was trying to feed the baby or deal with Cameron. By the fourth solicitor, I had had enough and gave them my worst appearance, that of a harried and stressed out SAHM. I could care less that they were teens that needed money to stay off the streets. Get a real job kids or get into a vocational program or get a college degree, do something that doesn't annoy SAHMs with your false enthusiasm and good cheer for the "queen" of the house, asked after they were looking for the "man" of the house. What, the person greeting at the door wasn't good enough for the first round of queries?
And that didn't even deal with the couple of solicitors on the phone, including one that wasn't trying to sell me anything, but was taking up my time while the baby was crying and Cam was asking all sorts of questions of who was on the phone, just to give me some canned spiel on how the movie industry isn't providing wholesom entertainment for families with kids. Really. Maybe that's why I've gone to so very few movies that are worth my time and money, precious little as both are.
Yeah, I am still in a foul mood.
I also made up a little sign that is now taped to my front door. I almost wrote up something just as foul as my mood, but decided a simple No Solicitors sign would work better than the thoughts I had running through my pissed off mind. If only I could come up with something appropriate for the answering machine, that won't also piss off family members. Yeah, no more answering the phone right away, it's the machine to screen calls for awhile.
Well, off to deal with the last big load of laundry for the day, then to help with dinner.
venting,
