Mood Swings!!

Sometimes it really sucks being a woman and dealing with mood swings ~ knowing they are happening and yet can't make it stop!! I am willing to bet that Kevin wishes he would've had to work this weekend! ha!

It started Friday night when the freakin' repairman for the washer NEVER showed up or CALLED! I mean, hello? I don't care if you can't make it because you are running behind, but how hard is it to call? So, I was stuck at home all night waiting...for nothing. The positive is that I got some Christmas gifts made (top secret!). Saturday was the real mood swingin' day...I was up, I was down, I was up, I was mad, I was sad, I was up, I was frustrated, I was snappy, I was up...URGH! (Insert a poor Kevin here!) Saturday morning the repairman calls, "do you still want me to come?" "Well yeah..." He didn't come baring good news. Basically, the part I need is $100, but the labor to replace said part is so intensive that the labor will eat me alive and it will cost $300 to repair minimum, so he recommends getting a new washer....My handy dandy Dad who can fix anything, backs this statement, so a washer shopping we will go...I actually took the news ok. I guess Kevin was expecting a breakdown (I can be dramatic when it comes to spending large amounts of money. ha!) He said, "Boy, you are sure are taking this well." And, I was...I was up at the moment. Then, off we went to Conway to sell back 5 classes worth of textbooks ~ I won't even tell you how I much I spent on them because I refuse to add it up, it will make me sick. I was excited about the amount of money I was about to receive (shows how long it's been since I was in college!) I got a whoppin' $51 ~ which I held in my hand for all of 2 seconds, because I turned around and bought $70 worth of books for next semester!! But, at this point in the day, I was still up...so I just said, well, I guess I'm not out any money for this semester's books! Where exactly the mood swings started was somewhere after lunch...I really can't explain the rest of the day ~ CRAZY! And today, I have literally lost my mind, I turned on the dryer to dry clothes BUT didn't put any in there to dry??? What the??? THEN, I unloaded the dishwasher - only to discover that - oops they were dirty dishes I just put in the cabinets! I am loosing it! I need winter break fast!!

A little venting does the heart good....

Some people should really just think before they speak...or maybe I have PMS and am overreacting ~ we can't rule that out! LOL! What it boils down to is that it doesn't matter because either way, I got my feelings hurt, and I will stew on it unless I vent...so here goes!

A few of us were sitting around making small talk (I am not naming any names here...) and the topic of decorating for Christmas comes up. This person who really should THINK before she speaks turns to me and says, "Oh, I guess you don't have to do much. Do you?" What the??? What does that mean? Here's where I get irritated ~ what does she mean, because I don't have a husband and kids that I don't have to do much? Yes, I still decorate for Christmas even though it is just me. And, I just have to say it really pisses me off that some people think there is something wrong with that!! I am not lonely or miserable because I don't have a husband and kids - I mean, let's face it - I was more lonely and miserable when I WAS married! Geez! Would I like to have kids someday? Yes, but do I want it rubbed in my face that I don't? NO! Personally, I am proud of myself that I have made choices in my life that have kept me from having kids that would now be traveling from Mom to Dad on weekends, AND that I have spent time being single and not rushing into a second marriage! I mean, give me a freakin' break! My life would still count and be just as important if I never remarried or had kids! And, while I'm at it, people just shouldn't say things like that especially if they don't know someones history. I mean, what if I couldn't have kids? URGH!

"I guess you don't have much to do"...well, I have more of a life than this rude person! So there...I'm done! Thanks for letting me vent! :-)
