Stupid Question - Save it for another day!

I have been having a frustrating few days lately & I just really need to vent. I'm using my blog for this & if someone gets offended, I may be terribly sorry. Then again, I may not. Some stupid thoughts that I must share: "Did you know the dogs pooped on the carpet?" My response: "Why yes I did know that, as a matter of fact. I quite like the smell. I am fresh out of candles, so I thought I would leave it." Of course I didn't know that! Duh! Be a doll & clean it up!

"Is Gracie allowed to play with that?" (insert inappropriate item here such as laptop, hand mixer, outlet, etc). My response: "Of course she can play with that. She is my child prodigy & knows how to use anything safely." No! Grab the item or move her away from the outlet. Divert her attention. Stop pointing out things that are insanely obvious & not okay to play with. I may not follow her every move every minute of the day, so if I miss something, I apologize!

Another one: "The remote is on the floor. The dogs may chew on it." My response: "I know it's on the floor. That's where we like to keep it. It helps us find it faster when we need it." Let me walk all the way over from the other room to pick it up. Please don't strain yourself to move 2 feet over to actually just pick it up. Please don't worry about it. I wasn't doing anything anyway.

"I think you should get a second opinion on why your child is so sickly." My response: "Yes. Her runny nose & cough are insanely rare. I should seek out a specialist right away." She chews on everything. She drops stuff on the floor, picks it up & puts it in her mouth. She shares toys with the dogs. She goes out in public & (gasp) catches germs. It's called the common cold. It happens. I wanted to put her in a bubble, but it was just not practical.

I'm feeling like I'm not doing anything well. I am doing too much & can't do anything to perfection & it is bugging me. I am feeling like everyone expects me to do more & do things better & are disappointed when things aren't perfect. I get tired of the messy house. I get tired of the whiny kids. I get tired of not getting enough sleep. Gracie has been sick & I have had little to no sleep & am tad cranky. So, if you have a stupid question, please do me a favor. Save it for another day!
