Liz--Happy birthday, E.! I hope the parental units didn't/haven't driven you nuts. Send me some chocolate--dark chocolate, if you please! ;-) Julie--I don't have the PMS excuse any more, but I do have menopause, which is an excellent excuse. And stuff in today's post, too. Anonymous--I have been leaving the Dotter's room strictly alone. But I'm trying to propagandize her about her baby toys, as in "There are poor little children out there who don't have any toys at all! We need to go through yours together Real Soon Now, because you're a big girl and don't need all of them." Alas, she goes off on tangents about everything she wants to keep--none of which are earmarked by Mean Mommy for the Goodwill anyway. Miss C.--Thanks!

It keeps those around us on their toes a bit. At least I hope so. Everyone deserves a pass on sunshine and happiness every once in a while. It keeps those around us on their toes a bit.

Which pisses me off, but that's not the point. What he doesn't understand is that I feel and think this way a lot, but usually I don't have hormones overiding my impulse controls. So I feel your pain, Omegamom. I hope your bad mood improves. Lizc, amen sistah. My husband has written me off to PMS the last couple of days. Which pisses me off, but that’s not the point.

I left DH's dishes on the counter for 24 hours because I am so tired of cleaning up after everyone in the household. It's all I do, and the house still looks like shit. and the kicker here: E's birthday, so my *parents* are coming today. We don't get along.They find fault with *everything* and are just constant pickers. DH and I dread their visits, and my friends can't wait to see what bizarreness will happen at the party because of them. UGH. I may decide to join you in that mood.... If I find any chocolate today I'll eat some for you. ugh.. I am so with you. I left DH’s dishes on the counter for 24 hours because I am so tired of cleaning up after everyone in the household.

I want Someone Else to clean it up, because it's not my mess. Dammit." Oh yeah-this is every day at our house;) And I was the one when we were house hunting during the wait who said I didn't need a separate family room because I wanted to use our living room every day. We also do not have an eat in kitchen-so the dining room looks about the same as the living room by the afternoon. Still if I didn't have those crayons and scraps of paper on every surface it would be because we didn't have dd and oh how empty my life would be. But I can relate since I can make a big mess myself it is tiring to keep cleaning up someone else's too. “The floor around the coffee table, the coffee table itself, and the futon are all covered with scrids and scrads of paper, various crayons, some toys, and remnants of balloon animals.
