1. Okay, this whole Daylight Savings time thing is going to be the death of both me AND Jack.  Last night the poor kid had no idea why he was being put to bed an hour early.  When Scott got up this morning, I thought it was in the middle of the night.  I didn't understand what he was doing when he brought Jack into give me kisses goodbye--I didn't know why they were leaving so early!

2. I'm going through this Johnny Cash phase.  He's all I want to listen to.  Peggy Poll: What CD is in your CD player right now? My answer is obvious.

3. I've pretty much decided I dislike all news reporters.  I guess I'm just being too critical, but I completely lose focus when they make big mistakes.

4. Anyone who can tell me the effective way to teach a 15 month old  not to hit and/or head butt wins either a million dollars or my undying devotion. (I'll spin the wheel in your behalf and let you know which you've won!) For the record, neither corporal punishment nor sitting him down while saying firmly, "We don't hit!" doesn't work.

5. Why are almonds so expensive?  I don't understand.

6. I have no patience for the high-maintenance.  I don't expect people to walk on egg shells around me, I shouldn't have to do it for anyone else, right?  Don't take this to mean that I don't feel compelled to treat people kindly--that's not the case.   I just can't stand people who constantly sulk, waiting for someone else to coddle them and shower them with praise so they feel warm and fuzzy inside.  Nor do I enjoy those ferns that seek to be offended.  Why choose misery over happiness?

7. Is it spring yet?  Why does it have to be COLD?

8. If I had a nickel for every time I've answered the phone and said, "International, this is Peggy" then the caller says, "Debbie--I have a question!" I'd have already retired to a french chateau in the country.

9. Post-it notes are clutter in the making.  they're just asking to have little indescribable notes stuck everywhere until you forget why you wrote said note and thrown it away, possibly discarding an important issue.  It's a whole situation.

10. For those of you who are losing sleep: 39 days.
