I've gotta vent!

Okay, so I didn't want to make my blog a bitch sesssion, but sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

For anyone who doesn't know, I am not a drop in kinda person. In other words I don't appreciate the unannounced knock on the door or the people I usually find on the other side. It's not that I don't like to see people, but I find that usually people arrive at a bad time when the don't call first. For example, bed time, nap time, lunch time, my relax time etc. This has been worse for me since I was pregnant. I have been more irritable than usual and yes, I'm aware of it.

Problem two-! My mother in law has moved in to the neighborhood just down the street. Yes, I repeat, right down the street. She is within walking distance. UGH! This is the bigger problem of the two.

So, I've made it clear after a few of her untimely drop ins during Cameron's naps (yes, she woke him up) that she would need to call first. Did she listen??? No! So taking it a step further, I made a sign that says "sleeping, do not knock or ring bell" to hang on the front door. This has worked for everyone else, but not her. Last Tuesday I woke up to her voice at 8am. This was just 2 hours after I had gone to sleep after being up with Rylee. My mom was here looking after the boys for me, and I was resting. Resting until I was woken up by the loud voices. I don't mean to be intentionally rude, I really don't. However this is ridiculous. First, who visits anyone at 8am. And second, who does that to someone who just had a baby! For goodness sake, get a hint.

This problem escalated today when the note was hanging on the door. I was relaxing and I hear someone trying to open the front door. I decided that since she had ignored my note, I would ignore her standing there. LOL. I know, that makes me laugh too. Nope didn't work. Cause then she called the house and walked around to the back door which was open. I was so pissed that I went into my room and shut the door until she left. Luckily my mom was here again, so she was able to tell my mother in law that I was asleep. I wasn't. But who cares? How bout giving me some freaking privacy!

This is causing great distress in my life. I feel totally ignored and disrespected. I am trying my best to get used to having 3 kids. Two of them small children that require a lot of care. I am also a little emotional and very tired. So give me a break. Am I gonna have to move away to get my point across because obviously my subtle hints aren't working.

Ok- I feel better. Had to get that off my chest.
