UPDATE

The pest control guy who stopped by last night and called me the nanny has a death wish. He just came by again tonight, at 8 pm, and rang the door bell right after I had finally finally gotten John to sleep!! He is lucky I didn't open that door and give him a piece of my mind. I actually didn't open the door at all. I chose to be a pacifist and hid until he departed. I clearly and concisely said no yesterday so get out of here kid. I have always thought those "no solicitors" signs were a bit unfriendly but I am quickly catching the vision. Nothing gets me more riled up then a doorbell waking a napping baby. And that is that.

We have one of those signs on our door and it has significantly dropped the amount of unwanted solicitors at our door, however there are still a few that we're like, hello? Didn't you see the sign?! Oh well. When that happens, I hide from them too. :)

Amen to that! After I had Carly I was so sick of people ringing the door bell (especially those who should know better) that I put up a sign over my doorbell that told them to knock. Not fancy, but effective. I also hide from those who knock during the day.. I just don't feel comfortable answering the door when I'm home with just Carly.

I think the man thought you were the nanny because he thought you looked too young and cute to be a mother of two! I am pretty sure it was a compliment. :-)

or he might have been a psycho killer

I hear you. I can't stand it when the UPS guy delivers something right during nap time which causes the dog to bark and the baby to wake. Argh.
