I Just Don't Care Anymore!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a little neurotic by nature. So I have decided to compose a list of all of the things that no longer bother me anymore. Having a child has had the unfathomable ability to change even someone as stubborn as me, but not completely. Not to worry some of the neuroses still remain. Here's my list of things "I am sooo over":

1. My child dropping food and then eating it off the floor......of pretty much anywhere.
2. Dirty diapers
3. Getting the stuff that goes in the diapers on my person
4. Stuff that comes out of the body in general (i.e. boogers, drool, half chewed food, etc.)
5. Dirty faces and unwashed hands (alright the hands still really bother me, but not enough to remember to always wash them.......Miles, not mine.......pleeeease!)
6. Using the TV as a babysitter (come on now, if you have kids, you've done it)
7. Getting to bed on time
8. Miles crying in public
9. Being the only parent with the "bad" kid
10. Feeding my kid nutritious meals (I'm lucky if he eats at all)
11. Silverware falling on the floor of restaurants
12. Fingerprints on glass/TV/any general household surface
13. Using the diaper changing station in public restrooms.......kind of
14. Giving my kid sugar
15. Dirty feet

On the reread, I've realized I've either become much more relaxed in my old age, or my parenting skills are gradually diminishing. Either way here's a few "freak out" ditties to remind everyone that I'm still just as crazy as ever:

1. Disinfecting supermarket shopping carts
2. Stains on clothes
3. Dirty fingernails
4. Touching public door handles
5. Incessant whining (everyone else's, not my own)

I could go on, but that's just enough crazy for tonight.
