why i'm losing my mind


  • Sickness.  My son has a runny nose and a cough AGAIN.  It's like, HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE GET SICK IN SIX MONTHS?  Croup, RSV, ear infections.  He's perfect for a week and then what do ya know, he's coughing at again.  He couldn't even eat dinner without catching his breath because his nose is so stuffed.  And he's decided recently not to blow his nose and I can't find the aspirator.  So then I'm in tears because my kid can't breathe. 

  • Social cues at work.  Here's the situation:  I'm sitting in the teacher's lounge sulking about God knows what, just minding my own business reading the newspaper.  If you had any frikking clue at all about body language and social situations, you wouldn't have said a word to me.  In comes the music teacher.  Nice lady?  Yes.  Talks too much?  Yes.  About things I don't care?  Yes.  So she's rambling about the 4th graders and how they are never in their seats and always too loud (you know, a regular bitch-out session).  This is something I do not care to hear about.  I'm sick of people griping about the 4th graders.  After five minutes of completely ignoring her, I look up and scream say "MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY SOMETHING NEW."

  • Tim McGraw.  Please, just do yourself a favor and stop singing.  I heard one of his old ones the other day - Just To See You Smile.  Gosh, now that was an amazing song.  Effortless vocals, great lyrics.  One of Those Nights?  Not so much.

  • I missed book club this month.  We read Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.  Well, I read 1/4 of it.  It was the night of Jeffrey's birthday and since I was spoiling him, it meant staying home in order to do that.  Then for my birthday yesterday?  I didn't even have a card from him, let alone a gift.  WTF dude?
          Anyways, I NEED BOOK CLUB. And now I won't get it for a month! MORE TEARS.

  • How can I calm all this stress?  I already got a pedicure last week, which really helped.  Caribbean vacation?  That's more like it.
