Thursday Thirteen - 13 things that drive me crazy

This 13 was inspired yesterday by my children who were definitely driving me crazy. Here's 13 things that drive me crazy (there are a few more, but they're best left to the confines of my own mind).

1. my dog - her pacing when the wind comes up, her whining, her barking outside at anything and nothing

2. my son's high pitched scream that has suddenly appeared

3. the small dog sized dust bunnies that gather daily under my kitchen table, highlighted by the sun through the window, despite regular vacuuming

4. my son's eating habits - he gets up and down from the table, not eating, but having a fit every time you say you're taking his food away

5. my husband's snoring - no further comment necessary

6. my daughter's messy room - I know, it's only going to get worse (this is when I wish I had a digital camera to show you what it looks like)

7. when the top rack of the dishwasher doesn't clean - kind of defeats the purpose, when you have to hand wash all those dishes anyways

8. early mornings, in general - however life has gotten better now that both children will happily watch kids CBC for an hour

9. TV reruns - I know the season has just started, but I know that in another couple of weeks, there will be a few weeks of reruns, grrrr. On a side note here, how mad was I last night when I snuggled down on the couch at 7:59pm for an evening of Pushing Daisies and Private Practice, only to have the cable quit for the rest of the night.

10. my neighbour - nothing better than a 20-something, bike-riding single guy living next door that likes to throw very loud parties....my best friend and my mom can both attest to the sound level.

11. the local movie theatre - this one screen theatre always manages to play the worst current movie selection. My teenage babysitter would be rich if there was a good movie playing every week. Saying that we're going to see Heartbreak Kid on Friday...a last, a reason for date night.

12. my cravings for Coke and chocolate - my inner tube would be so much smaller if I could just kick these habits - and that's Coca-Cola, just to be clear

13. the heat and window war - my husband wants the windows open, I want them closed. I want the heat on, my husband wants it off....no matter the season, the battle continues.

What things drive you crazy? Any good ideas for a Thursday 13?
