Merry Death

Please give me a moment

Why can't my child understand this? Why am I not allowed a minute alone? Why can't she amuse herself for more than 5 minutes at a time?
I knew the time was coming, but I swore it would be farther off. I am telling her no at every turn. Don't lick the crayon, don't draw on the table, don't hit the cat,
don't eat the thing off the floor, don't throw the books, blah blah blah. Its bad. I am tired.
I took down all the Christmas stuff today because I am sick of looking at it and our house is so small that every little thing makes it looked cramped. WE had a chair where the tree was and now I don't want to put it back. Just our sofa, the tv a coffee table and toys. We don't entertain much anyway......really.
