#103 - Bliss to craziness!

Well today was a trying day around here.  The kids were grumpy with a capital GRUMP.  I was going crazy inside, I am proud that I managed to keep myself from yelling/getting really angry at them.  We are going through a 'testing' phase with Boy1 and boy is he testing me.  Boy2, I am thinking he is still sick, at least I hope so as he was a whole new kind of miserable.  I had to have a rest in the afternoon when they all went down for their naps/rest time as I was shaking inside, if that's possible.

Then hubby came home,  I guess he was pissed that the 4 dishes in the sink weren't done.  I loaded the dishwasher and cleaned up, I just didn't get the misc stuff done.  Oh ya and I forgot to vacuum around the kitchen table.  I suppose that set him off.  He was ignorant to me all evening.  Then after I said I had a very bad day, he left me with the kids to go out and shovel.  What he was shoveling I will never know as we got a teeny bit of snow today.  Just what I needed.  Well I guess tomorrow will be a better day.  If not I may have to 'cool off' by rolling naked in the snow!  (As if! :) )

I did manage to get a few Christmas decorations up with the 'help' of the kids (that means they were just getting in my way, but that's ok!).  After they went to bed I put up our tree and I have been enjoying the peace and quiet ever since!

THINGS THAT BUG ME
- The fact that the stupid government is more concerned in themselves than the economic crisis that is going on in the world
- Having grumpy kids and not being able to un-grump them!
- Not enough time to read all the blogs on my blog list!

THINGS THAT I LIKE
- Peace and quiet after a long hard day!
- Kisses from Baby
- My MAC!  I had to call Apple support today, I must say it ROCKS.  From what I could tell they didn't seem to be following any script, they listened to ME and sent ME to the right place, they didn't assume I was stupid aaaandd they actually understood what I was saying!!! WOW!  Oh ya and they fixed my problem too.  (my wireless kept dropping when I was running on battery power!)  It was so weird to actually explain my problem and to be answered without being asked a bunch of stupid irrelavent questions first.  I think this is the first time in a long time I actually enjoyed talking to a help desk! Oh ya and no sitting on hold.  I booked a time on the internet and THEY called me!  Cool!  I am so glad I didn't buy another PC!  (I always wanted an Apple back when Apple IIe's were cool... you know green screens, c prompts... ok so I am a geek!  Lets just put it this way I am going waaaay back here!  Well I finally got my Apple/Mac and I am SOOO happy! )

KIDDO NOTES
Baby has a shoe thing already.  At least once a day she brings me one shoe to put on.  Just one??  Hmm I wonder what this will lead to in the future, should we plan to add on a shoe room for her?  Yikes

I am sure hoping that Boys get through their testing phase soon... I may pull all my hair out if it doesn't end quickly!  Although I suppose it's just a start of what's to come, isn't that what all teenagers do too? :)

Off to bed!
