Warning: Do Not Poke With Sharp Sticks

Or I might just take your head clean off your shoulders.

Crummy day. On the grand scale of things, I hit a few pot holes...certainly nothing life altering. But man I am just p*ssed about everything right now.

Didn't sleep well last night. Err.

Woke up to a note from The VP that the babysitter called last night and has the flu, so I have to haul The Governor along to The Senator's eye appointment. Errr.

Eye appointment didn't go so well. We need to increase patching from 4 to 6 hours because his left eye weakened a bit. Errr.

Tried to take a short nap while The Governor snoozed this afternoon. Dogs barking, phone ringing, Senator singing.... Errr.

Went to local clinic to get my cast off. "Oh dear, your doctor isn't here today. Well look at this...we have you down for next Monday!" It was all I could do not to haul that woman over the reception desk by her lapels and scream, "Trust me! I made the appointment for today! I have been counting down the minutes until this bloody thing comes off. Four weeks is today!" I looked around the packed waiting room and decided there were too many witnesses for such an assault. So I let her placate me with an appointment tomorrow afternoon. If that gets screwed up, I'm just going to start beating on their front desk with my cast until it starts to break apart. I'll take it off myself. Errrr.

And I log in here to discover that apparently, my entire family has everything they ever wanted for Christmas because not ONE of them left a comment on the last post. Gee, Matthew...sorry to discover you're my only reader who doesn't have it all! Errrrr.

Soccer tonight, and I'm going to have to play with this stupid cast. Errrrr.

Thank goodness I didn't log in and have to delete a bunch of spam as I did last night. I just might have taken a bat to the monitor.

Well. I feel a lot better. I guess I should go tell the children it's okay to come out from underneath the furniture.

Comments

Some of us had not read the last post until now, so were not able to comment on the Christmas present deal. And, incidentally, I DO have everything I want, and there is nothing I can think of that I could want or need for Christmas, except to be surrounded by loving family...... Oh yeah, a metal detector.....

I'm so proud of sis--that she has all she really wants and needs. (she doesn't need a metal detector--but that's another story). I was so busy getting myself and my house ready for Christmas that I haven't had time to sit on my padded seat with a glass of iced tea and read blogs. But since you asked, all I ever really wanted was for my four children to be ladies and gentlemen. I leave it to them to decide if I have been successful.

Ok, Ok, I want another dog.

I didn't even think of what I really wanted, so when you got me thinking about it, I figured my idea of getting another dog would satisfy me and the boys, but Daddy still says "no" so I got crabby and didn't want to think about it anymore.... Now I'm thinking about it again... Errr...

Well see now, that wasn't so hard, was it? I am sorry I had to guilt you into leaving a comment, but after today's mishaps, I needed to hear someone who still had some Christmas spirit.

Thanks Mom and M.

Great to hear from you Emmy! Hope everyone up in Alaska is doing well!

Off your subject, I found a text file of the letter from Max to the Grinch. I'll get it to you if you want it, it was freaking awesome!

You can adopt me! I'd like a George W Bush doll, the new David Limbaugh book, Paul Shanklin's Talk Radio Hits CD ... there, does that make you feel better?

Oh, you guys are great! Thanks. Craig - I'd love to see the letter again. You can email me at CathyACamp-at-aol.com. Where did you finally find it?

And yes, Jeff, I feel lots better. Thank you for properly maintaining the Xmas spirit. And I highly approve of your wish list.
