What-the-freak-ever....

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up annoyed? Welcome to my day....

Nothing has particularly set me off, however, as the day goes on I find myself more and more irritated. Things that top my list are as follows:

1. Everything.

I'm sorry, I just can't narrow it down right now.

Anyway....

I'm trying to eat "healthier". I know, I know....I try every year around this time and end up a huge (no pun intended) failure. I think that is part of my general disenchantment with the world today. I'm mad at myself for letting things get too far, and I'm mad that I now have to do something about it. It's pure and utter laziness on my part....and I readily admit that. I need to be walking every day, and now I have a great excuse to go....London. She loves going for walks. But it seems that every time I decide I will go, I find something that "has" to be done before I can do it. What did I do this morning to push back the walk? I cleaned out my junk drawer. Now, that did not need to be done immediately, no one even sees what's in there. But for some reason I had to do it. See? Laziness, pure and simple. Sigh.

I have had a productive morning thus far. I've cleaned the house, vacuumed, mopped, made a fruity smoothie, and am in the process of doing laundry. Now I need to get ready to go to school for the "A-B honor roll party". When report cards come out, those who make the A-B honor roll get a pizza party. I made cupcakes with sprinkles last night, and wee one helped. I have 2 hours until I have to go, which leaves plenty of time for me to get fixed up and do some of the sewing I put off yesterday.

Why did I put off the sewing yesterday? Because when I checked my journal in the morning, I noticed that my counter had been reset to 0000001. Gee, thanks AOL. You would think with the ads at the top, they would have enough money to pay competent techies to keep things like that from happening. I noticed that a lot of people out there lost their journal count....so, I followed the explicit instructions on how to fix it....five freaking times....and it wouldn't work. So I reinstalled my site meter counter....which of course I had to reset a hundred times before it worked properly. Is there some kind of web troll running around, messing with things lately? Sheesh.

When I was cleaning out the junk drawer, I found a baggie in which I had saved an almost full cartridge for those electric air fresheners. However, it had spilled out of the baggie and I didn't notice until my hands were covered with apple cinnamon scented oil. While I was upset that it spilled....the lingering scent on my hands smells really nice. So, I suppose that is one good thing that has happened today.

Okay, enough complaining and whining. I'm going to go take the clothes out of the dryer and fold them. That should cheer me up....

Wanna know all I did this morning? Nothing! LOL just drove the big one and made a pot of coffee. You should be 90lbs the way you clean. The furthest person from lazy I have ever known. When youre sick as a dog and puking you are still steam cleaning carpets. Cheer up! YOU'RE GREAT!

Well, I hope your day gets better.  I think I wake up grumpy most of the time... mainly because I am not, and never have been, a morning person.  Enjoy your weather, it snowed here last night and I don't like snow after Christmas so much.

LOL, I do the same thing.  I say I'm going to walk the dogs and find something, ANYTHING, else to do instead. haha
That really stinks about the journal counter.  It's just like a little thing, but very annoying.
That pizza party sounds nice.  Have a good time! ~Melissa

Oh I hate days like that!   And I've been feeling rather "disenchanted" with myself lately, too!

Hey, doesn't vacuuming always cheer you up, you know with the lines going the perfect way?  LOL!  I didn't notice the hit counter thing but mine has been reset so many times now in 2 years that I don't even bother to look anymore, it just frustrates you even more.  I am sure you were smelling very good and making people very hungry all around you with that apple cinnamon freshness.  Hope today goes better for you!
Hugs and love,
Lisa
