Crazy baby has been attached to me for over a week now. He is touching me at all times, interacting with every activity, stating his opinion on how boring these activities are and demanding to be held minutely. I have been reminding him that his umbilical cord was cut at birth and a few foot separation from me wouldn’t be the end of his little world. I know! I know! I know! I will long for these days when he is 16 and averting his gaze when I enter a room, but I just would like to pee unaccompanied.
I got a call last night from a political polling company. They spent 3 minutes explaining how the poll wouldn’t take much of my valuable time. They then asked, “Do you think the country is headed in the right direction or wrong direction?” As soon as I answered, they stated that they were experiencing technical difficulties. It was so obvious that I had answered in an incorrect manner for their poll that I said, “so you didn’t like that answer?” and they hung up on me. I suspect that this is one poll that will come out exactly as they need/want since they are disqualifying any pesky dissension. I wish that system would work for me at home.
I just was asked if I could take the baby away. This was followed by screaming from 2/3 boys…Then I heard “my brothers are bothering me”. This was followed by screaming from 3/3 boys. I am experiencing technical difficulties…
We’re finally past the stage of peeing with an audience. However, I still occasionally have to go into my closet to have a private phone conversation!
And 16! Are you kidding me? Unfortunately, it all begins in middle school…..(sigh)
I don’t think I’ve ever had a poll call me. I suppose I should be grateful! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
It is SO hard when you need some space, even a moment and they are attached to your legs. Deep breaths…
I have never heard of those cereal straws. Yuk. I’m such a mean mama that I force my girl to eat something like egg or oatmeal before she gets to start the fruit gorging. Clearly she’ll be scarred for life. Oh well.
I hate political polls. I’ve had a few that are supposedly public opinion polls, but that I think were actually poorly disguised advertising mixed with political propaganda. The questioning was obviously biased.
Don’t know how big your baby is, but I solved *some* of my clingy problems by getting an ERGO and just strapping her on my back (you can BLOG that way!) and then at least she can’t cling to my leg and pull my pants down all day long… 😉
we are so in the dark ages here–what the heck are cereal straws–sound like the perfect before school breakfast lol!
My baby is a clingon too — I so feel your pain! I don’t know what it would be like to shower with some bangs and ‘mamamamamamama’ at the door!
My apron..er..hat…is off to you, ms. cleaver. I have 2 boys and one girl…but 3 boys I think would send me over the edge. 😉
I wish I could control the opinion of my household by pleading “technical difficulties”, too… what a sneaky poll.
ROFL! I must remember to have my child scream on cue when I get those calls 🙂
Sounds like the pollsters in America are the same ones they use in Australia..
