Damnit, people, there's a "No Solicitation" sign up for a reason...

Tuesday, I had just gotten ds down for a nap after 2 attempts, when I hear the doorbell and the dog barking.  I look out and there's a lady who obviously wanted to vote for some jackamo or have me save the (fill in the blanks).  I have a pretty prominent "No Solicitation" sign taped to the middle of my door.  We used to get them all the time and it would wake up the baby.   Sure enough, Adam is awake and was a crank the rest of the day. I didn't even bother opening the door because I was so frustrated and was afraid I'd yell at her.

Today I'm up in my bedroom and I see the same lady coming across the lawn, clipboard in hand.  I race downstairs, open the door, pointed to the sign and closed the door in her smiling face (she was still on the lawn, otherwise I would've told her to get lost).  

Geez, I have the sign for a reason.  This tired mama might've kicked some ass if she had woken Adam up *again*.

    Sadly I bet 85% of the population doesn't know what solicitation means.

    I'm not crazy, I've just been a very bad mood for the last 40 years!

    I freakin' hate when this happens.  And why do they only come during nap time??  And not only nap time, but nap time on days when they are already cranky!!

    Exactly!  Today was another day of him fighting a nap, so I was determined to keep him down.

    I could have just written this. Thankfully ds wasn't asleep yet but he was very curious why the doorbell went off. I have the doorbell covered up for a reason and yet twice in the past few wks people have rang it! Idiots! The woman today said I didn't know if it worked or not?? Well, it is covered for a reason, and no I don't want my trees sprayed by trugreen-if she would have looked in our yard we have stakes up from our treatment this morning from another company! Ok, vent over...I need a nap!

    I have a sign on my door too and somehow it gets ignored.  It really annoys me.  I'm not going to buy what you're selling or vote for your person just to spite you for ringing my doorbell.
