Have I Mentioned My Hatred for February?

Howdy-ho, Bleeps.

Sorry I have been absent for the past little while.

I have been in a funk.












It started innocently enough ...





{It's too blurry to read, but it says: I don't even feel like picking my ass}






Soon, though ... I started having headaches ...



...and then they got worse.






I reached out for some chemical solace...











But it only lasts a short while.


It happens most years, in February ... I just feel like I am standing at the edge of a great precipice...

 


Just doing my best to hang on to whatever shred of happy I can sink my nails into.


Inevitably, I get tired of being sad ... and my mood swings into a slightly more volatile one:



I get a little testy at home while cooking the evening meal ...


Then ... well, my attitude takes a turn for the worse at work...



losing my temper easily ...


 The signs are clear ...



But some people never learn to listen ...

*************************************
Without fail, I will be left making this statement:



IS FOR BITCHES!!!

I'm sorry you're having a stabby february. My kids want me to stop saying "stabby". I told them it's Canadian and I got it from my Canadian friends so really it's like I'm speaking a foreign language when I say it and they should be impressed. And yet, they aren't.

PS- my word verification is "convi" which is almost "convict" which is what you might be soon if you february doesn't end. Just wanted to point that out. =]

Oh Dani...what you need is some sunshine!February's almost over (thank God it's a short month, eh?) and then the days will be longer and you'll feel less stabby/blue(yellow?)/headachy.
I love this montage though, especially the guy hanging onto the happy face flotation device!

From One Mother, to Another

(Written Nov 29, 2022 ~ Still relevant... picking up July 20, 2023)  It's been a while.  I mean... I've typed out a whole bunch of words... over and over again... but I've been so stuck.  I had a meeting with one of the executives I support in my current position this morning. She was telling me that she's leaving the company.  She's an amazing woman. Her credentials and education are so far beyond impressive, I can't even describe... but today, she said that she was going to take a beat before moving into a new role... and spend some time with her kids.  She has two and they're young.  Her comment was that (I'm never going to get the wording right on this) she isn't the 'kind of mom that I am'. That she isn't 'there' to put them to bed and she isn't 'involved' in their day to day like I am. That her mother recently reminded her of the fact that they grow up... 'with or without you'.  I have a great deal of res

This is dedicated to the one(s) I love .... (gotta sing it)

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I was sick for the entire day and mighty worried I was in for a pretty miserable few days. I went to work and did my thing (I know I should have stayed home, but that is not the sort of place I work in) and the gals at my office threw a little lunch time party for me, complete with chinese food and cake ... and card and song and even a gift certificate for a hair-do at a local salon (okay - so you know your "do" is a "don't" when you get a certificate like this from your co-workers... unclench, Eyvi - I know I've been bitching about my hair for months ... I'm just funnin'). To them, I say TYVM ... for making me gain 5 more pounds... no, I'm kiddin' again - I am so touched. Thanks guys - you ROCK! I don't plan to spend a whole bunch of time yaking about the 'day' itself. It's just that birthdays have a tendancy to cause somewhat of a retrospective thought path ... especially when one is campe

I know I have been a slacker on the fun MeMe's lately. I thought perhaps I might try to rectify this little problem and join in today with Chiefy and her highly fun theme. Without further ado: On Monday night, my hubs came home from work at his usual 10:30(ish) pm. I had recently awoken in my daughter's bed and come downstairs to watch one of my most fav shows (The Big Bang Theory ... don't judge me - it is funny!) ... I had fallen into a sound stupor while trying to get my brats beautiful darlings to go to sleep and I was barely coherent. My hubs had come in and then disappeared for a little while ... I thought it odd, but didn't dwell as my show was starting. When he finally came into the living room  with his plate of dinner, (yes, I save him a plate from our dinner to eat when he gets home) he asked me how I was feeling. I found that odd. I said: "Why?" in a highly suspicious tone. He didn't say anything else until the next commercial break. Hub
