Pet peeves
Aug 3, 2001 Ancient Archives, Parenting
I haven’t gotten it together enough to put together a July archives page yet. Later this week maybe. So August will start here, along with all that old July stuff. Oh well, worse things have happened!
Pet Peeves for the day:
- humidity;
- dirty dishes;
- Brett’s cousin who calls periodically to either announce she’s pregnant (again) or to give me some minor symptom and ask me if I think it could mean she’s pregnant;
- busy signals at Earthlink;
- bills;
- potential employers who don’t acknowledge resumes sent to them.
Things that combat the pet peeves listed above:
- reading to Noah especially Put Me in the Zoo, a fave from my own childhood;
- getting an editing job from SRA for the weekend;
- shopping at a thrift store and finding a ton of ancient Little Golden Books;
- Brett going into work late so we can all have lunch together;
- listening to showtunes (especially “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Mis as sung by Andrea McArdle, the original Annie on Broadway).
Noah is in the family room playing with a bunch of little robotic looking guys that he got at the thrift store. Apparently, they are all threatening each other with mortal harm but Buzz Lightyear (the third Buzz he now owns) will surely prevail.
