OMG
I have a cold and am so fatigued and with a massive headache... my Son is at Preschool, for now.
My Daughter home, she is 8 and she is like a PMS'ing woman today. Of all days.
That high pitched screeching voice and so fussy. She is usually not like this. But today...
Ugh.
I already put her, in time out Utopia.
Had her do chores and summer homework.
I just gave her a plate of food.
She gets moody when hungry.
I am so tired, I can't even get irked.
LOL

It is only the MORNING time, for me in this time zone.
And it is a rainy day... and windy.. and chilly.
Ugh, well just venting.

How is your day?

Once my son comes home... well the 2 of them are like Bonnie & Clyde.
Hopefully they will both nap in the afternoon.
Yes, my kids still nap.
My Daughter when tired and my son every afternoon.
But boy... just leading up to that moment... can be... so... not the best, on my least of perky days. Like today.
I hate being sick.

At least... I am not also PMS'ing, at the same time as being sick.
Well gee, how grand.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I did take OTC meds.
And super strong coffee.
Nope, nada, no difference.
Whoopee!

Hope the Husband is helpful when he gets home later....
I plan to not cook.
Fridays are a 'no cooking' day for me anyway.
That is my one self made, cooking-day-off for me, per dinner.
It is take out tonight!

Shitty with a capital S! I have been applying and sending out coverletters and resumes like mad and found out today that the positions I've been hoping for have been filled! I just want to scream and cry at the same time!

I had an ovarian cyst rupture yesterday. I also got a nasty case of viral pharynigitis.. I am so fatigued and feverish and crampy that my husband actually had to stay home from work to take care of my 2 yr old, as I cant even get up off the couch.

I guess I'm having an O-K day.....Just found out my outside refridgerator isn't working-sigh- The crummy part is I don't know where and what to do with all the steaks, roasts, chicken and veggie's that are in the top freezer! To top it off...it's ugly out over here, been raining for the past two day (although I can't complain) my son is being a pain in the butt by not listening and it seems like today out of all days he swallowed a radio! lol.....Now I have to go out and do some back to school shopping, which im not looking forward to it only because my son hates to shop and starts to nagg on me about what time we're going to leave....Ughhhh! But what can we do eh? Hopefully tomorrow will be a new day my dear! I hope you feel better soon!

We are in the process of resurfacing and striping the parking lot of the apartment building I manage. Everyone has to park on the street for a few days. All the tenants are pissed off. I've listened to them complain ALL day.
It's now beer30, tgif.

I am feeling sick today too and it's also stormy here. What's the deal? I forced myself out of bed, read books to the kids, had them practice writing letters and their names and now they are watching tv. I'm going to bake chocolate chip banana bread if it kills me. It will instantly lift my mood (and the boys). Tonight it's going to be movie and popcorn night and soup for dinner! Keeping it low-key. Hope you feel better!

Aw I'm so sorry to hear you're sick!! Never fun!
I really hope you feel better and your kids are angels for you! Worth hoping for right? :)

I'm not sure how to describe my day...
not great,
but not bad.
I've kinda been in this funk lately. Not sure why. I'm indecisive, moody, but mostly just feel kinda Blah. Like a state of nothingness.
Really strange. I honestly can't think of anything that has upset me...hmmm

Who knows, maybe when daddy comes home, and i get alone time things will feel better. :)

Ugh so sorry you are feeling like this.
Doesn't it figure when we are sick, everybody acts up? :)
Ok how about making your life as easy as possible today:
*let your daughter pretty much eat what she wants and watch what she she wants on tv to avoid the screeching moodiness :)
*take some ibuprofen for your headache?
*eat some chocolate
*sit down to rest when you can
*nap when they do, even if you only close your eyes and rest
*treat yourself to somethin online tonight or tomorrow when you are feeling better
*get cozy on the couch w/a comfy throw and have your daughter watch a video of hers w/you
*make hot cocoa for both of you
*hey at least you are not PMS'g too, right? small things to be thankful for
*pull out a toy for your daughter to play w/that she has not seen in forever
*play quiet tea party w/her in the living room on the couch so you can rest
*cartoons for her?
*don't do any housecleaning today. Just let it go and relax when you can!
Hope your day gets better!
My day is ok buy w/my little one and watching my mom (she has Alzheimers) so my dad can get some rest). Take it one hour at a time today. I will too. :) Hang in there. You're not alone.

So far - so good, on my side of the ocean.

I'm taking the first half of the day "off". As in, I'm doing as little as possible.

Later, my mom is picking up the girls, my husband is pulling off a second shift, and I am going to ransack my girl's room, reorganize, pull out ALL their too small/broken/old toys and clothes, rip off the weird indoor "siding", sand, paint, paint a mural, organize, decorate...

In 24 hours. Thank God for Coffee.

So, yah. For now, rest. Later, work.

Hope your day becomes more pleasant and easier. Wishing you a cup of coffee!

Good day here...it's Friday and work is almost over!!

Wanted to say to you on a bright note (I know don't you hate when people do that when you are in a bad mood and just want to stay in a bad mood? LOL). But it's hot and humid and nasty here so I'd take cold and windy and chilly today FOR sure.

Sounds like an order out pizza, make your own dinner or just eat popcorn for dinner kind of night with everyone decked out in pjs (early) and blankets and pillows on the couch or floor.

I second taking some meds and chocolate...and maybe throw in a glass of something alcoholic (why not?) then I'm sure your evening will get better!! Start it off with a nice hot bath and I am thinking your day may get better.

Having a nice, relaxing, good day here :-)

Although, based on the snotty tone on here lately, it seems like life has gotten the best of some members. I really hope their days, weeks, months and year get better.

Umm I guess things could be worse.... I spent 8 hours today driving -- picking up my son from college, bringing a few things to my daughter for camp - that's a whole other story that's got me totally worried about her (she'll manage but I'll worry until I get her on Tuesday), stopping to get dessert for tomorrow's progressive supper. When I got home - it is 100 degrees in the shade - my septic pump alarm was going off... at 5:10pm -- 10 minutes after the septic guy's office closed... He was sweet and came right out -- in this heat and got us set up for the weekend. He'll be back on Monday to fix it right. BUT my yard is stinky and I'm supposed to have dessert for the progressive supper out by the pool tomorrow night... eau de stinko for dessert, anyone??? Oh - and the raspberry liquor that I needed to make the dessert was $35 a bottle!! OMG!
So - yeah, it's a pretty bad day, but I can deal... When it comes right down to it, it's not that bad -- expensive yes, but in the grand scheme of things -- everyone is healthy, everyone is safe and that's all that matters.
