Well, that was fun. Not.

Some days are just harder than others.

Not in grandiose major woe-is-me ways, but just a day when the smallest things are infinitely more complicated than they should be for no good reason at all.

Like...

When you spend most of the day uncharacteristically cleaning like a crazy person only to have Jessie find a tiny little bottle of gray nail polish (which should never be a hue chosen for nail polish which makes one wonder where this loathsome bottle came from anyway) and paints her belly because she doesn't have the nickname "messy Jessie" for nothing.

Or....

When you and your husband have been planning a little desperately needed, adults-only weekend getaway away coming up alarmingly soon and all of a sudden 8 days before departure with no details in hand you discover the person that was supposed to be arranging said trip has been let go without any warning or make-up plans or even someone else to take over and you can't even blame it on the Swine flu.

And of course....

You could always have the GE Security system return to your house because the boss of their lackey as described below, really wants to make sure you know what a good deal you could get. (But he's not going to tell you all that in one succinct message, he's going to make you guess because for some reason this company is more into the telepathic mode of advertising.)


And then...

Don't forget all of that other unbloggable drama and you've got yourself a day that needs to end with a glass of wine and a good book.

So...

I think that's what I'll do.
