So I thought if I made a list of everything I can think of that SUCKS, that it might help. [Be forewarned, some of these things are really sucky and me writing them doesn't necessarily mean they are true, just that they suck.]
Here goes, in no particular order:
- having to close all the windows on a very humid, muggy day
- not being invited to weddings
- feeling like an outsider in my own community
- your mom posting on facebook that she is a loser
- your daughter cutting off all of her hair after 18 months of growing it out after the last haircut
- heroin addicts
- going back to school before everyone else in your house
- overdue credit card bills
- overdue babies
- hurricanes that keep you from meeting babies
- dead wii remote batteries
- redbox fees
- slow internet
- the song "If I die young" by The Band Perry
- ebay addictions
- seven sucky letters in "words with friends"
- seven great letters and no place to put them in "words with friends"
- being rational enough not to cut because it's too hot for long sleeves
- being irrational enough to consider cutting after 3 years
- feeling like I'm too old for the VMAs
- not being able to see your kid off on her first day of kindergarten
- your kid telling you "I'm going to kill you someday"
- not being able to get pregnant
- suffering from "battered women's syndrome"
- eating an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream
- dehydration

- favorite pants that just aren't going to fit, no matter how hard you try
- wrinkles (in clothes AND skin)
- breast cancer
- all cancer
- holes in brand new socks
- sad, stupid movies that make you cry
- new underwear that doesn't fit (it's not like you can try it on in the store!)
- Voldemort
- friends who slack on their on-line scrabble games
- hemorrhoids
- being referred to as a "chick" by your brother-in-law
- being ignored by your kid's kindergarten teacher

Okay, this is horrible....just writing it has made think of a few good things that I'll leave you with.
