I work from our home office, which is downstairs. I have a babysitter come in 3 hrs/ 4 days a week so I can get a lot of work done. Usually you leave your child with the babysitter, come home, the end. Being here is torture for me! I can hear upstairs pretty well bc there is a vent right next to me. Everytime I hear him whining it drives me nuts! I'm like, dude, wtf are you doing and why is my kid whining up there? (Bc he never does, unless he need/wants something.) Then there is the issue with some one being in MY house. Every loud noise or bang makes me crazy too, not to mention the white rings from something wet on my (new) coffee table. I asked to please be careful and not put anything wet down on the table, the next day I got upstairs and what do you know, a glass of OJ on it. Like it wasn't uncomfortable enough for me to say something the first time. Oh and did I mention how I hide my paper towels and leave 7-8 clean dish towels on the counter instead? The girl was going through 1/2 a roll of paper towels every day! *** is expensive! Well now that I've gotten that out, let me get back to work....
