Frustration

I have a million things to do -- the car needs to be fixed, we have a mountain of clothes in our bedroom that needs to be moved to goodwill, a perscription is waiting at Walgreen's, etc, etc, etc -- and I sit here powerless because the kids are napping and I can't leave the house.

My friend told me that she knows someone who used to regularly go out when her kids were sleeping and leave the baby monitor at a neighbor's house. If only....

People always say that parenting is about patience. I just didn't realize that the need for patience extended beyond the kids themselves.
