Introducing a very negative post that reflects how I'm feeling in this very moment rather than how our last few days have gone. We've been having a WONDERFUL time with family and friends (which I will share pictures of soon), but the ultimate bummer is that the summer has flown by and we return to Kuwait in less than TWO WEEKS. LESS THAN! Ugh. I'm struggling with the whole idea this year so perhaps a little rant will get things off my chest and allow the happy me to return :)
Here it goes. My current list of things that REALLY, TRULY irritate the heck out of me:
1) Saying goodbyes. They never go well for me. Even the ones that entail problem students that have been in my classroom for 186 days too many. Even THOSE ONES (the ones you can't wait for) leave me feeling a little blue.
2) Bad nailpolish remover. I don't know how it sells, but I would much rather overpay for legitimate remover than turn my hands black and blue over the frustration of poor quality stuff.
3) Birds. You know about this one. But I would like to specifically reference Canada Geese in this mention here. They hiss. And poo everywhere. And hiss. And.....I hate them.
4) Dishes that come out of the dishwasher dirty. AH! Might as well have washed them myself.
5) When your first sip of tea is already lukewarm. Ew. It means you're way too busy and have yet to make a single second for yourself. Wait! Even worse - when you've boiled the kettle five times and have still YET to even make a tea. Moms out there (and likely teachers too!) know EXACTLY what I'm talking about here.
6) Drivers that are blind to all pedestrians. Pedestrians who are pushing strollers. And have a baby bump. And are following the rules by only walking across the street when the walking man says it's time. RUDE!
7) Insomnia when you're already exhausted. What gives?! It only makes sense that if you're extraordinarily tired, you will eventually just fall fast asleep. Well, meet the exception to any logic out there: ME! Pregnant me believes that zero sleep is the best preparation for being a mother of two :) I'm going with it. I guess. Because I am still SO, SO THRILLED that this little baby is inside of me!!!
Okay. THERE! Negativity BE GONE!!!!! Time to tell you all about how wonderful it is to spend time in Canada :) XO
