Wuz in such a better mood yesterday, but
this morning has started out on the wrong foot again. I couldn't get the internet connection up and running, started work a little bit late on account of that, had to use dial up (I'm glad to have that as a backup but it's so slow!). Then, I have to endure my daughter screeching and screaming at me again..while I'm working and trying to help her out.. She had a huge blowout this weekend with her father, and he dramatically "kicked" her out of the house; as soon as she apologized, however, all is forgiven ~ as it should be ~ however, I'm always suspicious about apologizing for behavior which is repeated over and over and over again. How sincere is the apology? I'm not working, called in sick; I'm going to regret that come payday, but I need to regroup mentally.
We've "adopted" a 14-year-old boy in a shelter to provide Christmas for, which I'm enjoying. Teenagers aren't "fun" for people to provide for, so I'm glad to have the opportunity to brighten his Christmas. I'm hoping I can get some feedback if he liked his things, though I would not want to meet him or have him know who we are. Focusing on that will help brighten my frame of mind.
I'm sorry to post such "sour grapes" three or four days in a row. I normally like to write about the funnier side of life, just can't bring myself to do that today, though I will tell you that I woke up yesterday to an awful smell which I ended up tracing to the kitchen and a brand new box of off-brand dryer sheets hubby Pete had bought! I had to relegate them to the porch, I couldn't stand the aroma (like very cheap aftershave with a lot of alcohol in it). I'm particular about the scents of our detergent, soap, that kind of thing, cuz some of that stuff drives me nuts and smells unpleasant to me. Seems there are a lot of "closet" soap sniffers around ~ I met one in the aisle of the grocery store this past Saturday, with both of us furtively sniffing and uncapping detergents, soap and dryers sheets until we found just the right scent. I was comforted to know I was not the only looney tune out there! :)
