"I&amp;#x27;m having kind of a grrr day today and I thought it might help to get some of the negativity off my chest&amp;amp;#8212;I know that if you look at the big picture, I have nothing to complain about (cancer free, cute kid, nice hubby) but this is not about the big picture. This is about all the crap that&amp;#x27;s clogging my brain right now and making me want to scream. Here are 10 things irking me as we speak (then I want to hear yours!):1. Nick and I had the economy-is-shit-here&amp;#x27;s-how-we-deal talk last night. I can&amp;#x27;t even.... 2. The people across the street from me still have their Christmas lights up&amp;amp;#8212;and turn them on. And they&amp;#x27;re blue. It&amp;#x27;s February, people! 3. My back aches so bad it&amp;#x27;s been waking me up at night. I have a herniated disc (old sports injury) that causes sciatica and lifting my giant child (and sitting on my butt all day in front of a computer) has aggrivated it. So much for that deep tissue massage last week. 4. It&amp;#x27;s snowing again and while it is beautiful to watch, I&amp;#x27;m not a.) skiing, b.) sipping hot cocoa by a fire or c.) curled up in bed with a good book. I never, ever say this, but I think I&amp;#x27;m ready for summer. Or at least spring. 5. Speaking of reading, I don&amp;#x27;t have a good book to read right now. I have started Bel Canto a million times and I know it&amp;#x27;s going to be good, I just can&amp;#x27;t get going. And as much as I want to start the Twilight series I think given my obsession with GG and FNL and, yes, 90210, I better pick something a leetle more challenging. 6. The fact that I backed into the babysitter&amp;#x27;s car (on my birthday) and have to pay a lot to have it fixed. D&amp;#x27;oh! 7. Alex pushed his girlfriend, Eve, repeatedly during our playdate over the weekend. He did not want her on his bike or his retro rocket or even his dinosaur, which he hasn&amp;#x27;t ridden in months. When Eve was leaving, I asked Alex to give her a hug (something he does to all kids without prodding) and he hit her. All I could think was, OMG, he&amp;#x27;s that kid! 8. I have a deadline tomorrow and have thus far refused to write an ending to the piece. I have tweaked the intro a thousand times and worked on various grafs over and over but the last section looks like this: TKTKTK SOME KIND OF EMOTIONAL ENDING TKTKTKT 9. My bed is unmade upstairs (we had a rushed morning) and knowing this is causing me anxiety. I want to go deal with it but that makes me think I&amp;#x27;m crazy. Am I? 10. Those 25 Random Things About Me notes on Facebook. Do I really have to do that? Do you have any idea how long it will take me? Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. OK, your turn! What&amp;#x27;s bugging you today? Remember, these do not have to be big things...in fact, I&amp;#x27;d prefer if they weren&amp;#x27;t because then I&amp;#x27;ll just feel guilty that I&amp;#x27;m whining about such insignificant nonsense.
