Nanny Problems

This post is just because usually I like to complain about annoyances of life on Twitter but I have more things to complain about than 140 characters will allow me to sufficiently bemoan. I'm pretty sure Mary Poppins didn't suffer like this.

      So probably what put me in such a fuss was my first ever cold sore. I find this extra bothersome because I have managed to live my entire life in a herpes infested house and not once contract the virus. Even with my sisters who each practically have a never-ending sore on their lips. No offense if you're reading this..... And then one day the baby gets a cold sore and I suddenly have one on each corner of my mouth and one on MY FINGER!!!!! And then as that one is just about healed another one appears. So painful and so gross. Yet, that's really not what annoys me most. It just annoys me that once you have the virus it NEVER GOES AWAY! So the baby broke my perfectly clean track record and I am now contaminated with herpes.

But THEN when I was in the living room with Mayra and Cayetana, Mayra was eating really crunchy things I don't even know what to call them, but they are louder than croutons. And anyone who knows me, knows that I can't stand to sit next to someone while they crunch on croutons. Meanwhile, Caye picked up Mayra's bottle of diet coke and started drinking it and spilling it. Naturally, I took it away from her and put the lid on it it. But of course, Caye's fit disrupted Mayra's peace and she would rather Caye be quiet than teach her what's allowed and what's not. So, she gave her back the coke and took the lid off. I'm not exaggerating when I say Caye drank almost half the bottle. That's not caffeine free, by the way. And she kept spilling it and shaking it violently (while it was open) and I had to keep cleaning it up. And then she started putting Gusanitos in it (Those are like puffy cheetos minus the cheese powder). And then she drank it with those floating in it. And then she spilled it again and a Gusanito fell out and she ate it and Mayra freaked out and was like, "that's sooooo gross. You can't eat them like that." HELLO!!!!!! How is that any different than letting her DRINK THEM??? So dumb!

MEANWHILE, Mayra was watching this popular talk show and this woman had incredibly obnoxios teeth. I'm pretty sure they were dentures. But the were just really odd looking with her face and with everything else going on at the time, I just couldn't stand to look at them. THEN the famous midget girl comes out and she is already annoying (I have nothing against midgets, just her) and you can totally see her underwear through her dress. And that for some reason bothered me, too. At this point I was seriously losing my mind and I couldn't get Mayra's crunching out of my ears. And it hurt if I opened my mouth. And there was coke everywhere. It's funny how I had Cayetana AAALLLLL day yesterday and even overnight while Mayra was out of town and she was sooo well behaved and didn't throw any fits. The second her mom come home she's a terror....
This is the midget named Chiqui. She has an incredibly annoying personality. You would just have to watch the show. But I'm sure she's a nice person....? Idk... Anyway... 

That's the end of my complaints for now. Other than the last few hours of my day it was blissfully, pleasant and I went for a walk and read a book and just relaxed. That's because Caye was with her grandma all day.
