Down. In. The. Dumps.

Lately, I've been emotionally trigger-happy...but not in a happy sort of way.  All kinds of things are making me sad, or angry, or anxious...

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
  • divorce via text message
  • worrying about losing family members to death
  • 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
  • severe nut allergies

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

  • Lady Gaga
  • new babies
  • big-boy haircuts
  • the excitement of the first day of school
  • sleeping in until 9
  • Ben knowing the words to "Tonight, Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae
  • seeing Mom in six days
  • my brother-in-law apologizing for calling me a "chick" (after I retaliated by calling him a "breeder" which might be worse, actually...
  • Nutella
  • Scary Mommy, DYAC, and FML posts, which make my life seem almost normal...
  • early bedtimes
  • new clothes
  • fountain drinks
  • blogs!
