Crabby Lady

Yup . . . that's me. I know I should be reveling in the joys of the Christmas season . . . but I'm not . . . at least not today. Today I'm just plain crabby . . . so in the season of crabbiness, I'm going to list all the things that have made me crabby today or just crabby in general . . .

• I woke up this morning not feeling the greatest - I think I might be catching the kids' colds
• I'm not done with my Christmas shopping
• It's too cold
• My co-worker is ALWAYS sick. In the six months I've worked there she's had bronchitis, a lung infection, a sty in her eye, the stomach flu, several colds, and today I had to watch her walk around complaining about a queasy stomach.
• My boss (there's just nothing more to say there . . . )
• Bella went potty on the toilet in our master bath and when I went to flush it - I realized the pipe was frozen
• There's also a mysterious ice patch in the corner of our bedroom on the wall . . .
• Then I found another icy patch in the corner of Kadin's bedroom wall . . .
• Our builder . . . I called him tonight after discovering the above three items . . . he acted like he didn't know about these problems even though we've been after him since LAST WINTER to come and fix them.
• Courtesy calls . . . even though we don't have extra money right now . . . who can say no to children's cancer research???
• My children . . . they constantly bicker and copy each other . . . tonight I wanted to sell them.
• Potlucks . . . how is it fair that some people sign up to bring BBQ's and then others sign up for Cheetos???
• Why are salaried employees expected to work so many more hours? I would rather take a pay cut . . .
• My kids always take off their socks and then leave them all over the house. I know - it's just socks . . . but tonight it really bugged me.
• Kadin can NEVER sit still when I brush his teeth. I truly think it's physically impossible for him to sit still ever . . .
• People who re-gift things with dates. I got a candle from my Secret Santa at work that said "1999 Home Interiors & Gifts" on it. WTF - did she seriously keep this candle for 9 years - just to give it away to someone as a gift??? I burned it the other day . . . it smelled like it was 9 years old . . .
• I ate way too much chocolate today and I haven't worked out for a week
• When I put big things in my washing machine - it won't spin. So things like comforters and rugs come out soaking wet. Brian washed a rug on Saturday morning - we had to hang it over the tub because it was dripping . . .

Ho, ho . . . . oh forget it . . . . bah humbug!
