Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead?

There is a "wrong side of the bed" and I got out of it this morning.  From the start.  The first words out of my mouth this morning weren't bitchy, but the second ones sure were.

Not sure what my problem is, other than Darwin seems to have a case of the stupids (every time I've taken him outside to do his business  [twice, so far, in forty-five minutes], he's distracted by the local stray cat, ducks, the dog barking across the canal, so I end up following him around the yard for twenty minutes while he figures out where he doesn't want to do his thing); I'm tired -- SO tired, because I wasn't able to fall asleep until 1:30 in the morning and then got woken up at a few minutes before seven; our bank account has less money in it than I thought it would (because someone is making charges and not telling me, so I can't keep track); and... well, that's it so far, but I've only been up for... not even an hour.

I am actually in a position to go back to bed for a little bit.  I think I might try it.  Because I'm not sure it's normal to swear this much first thing in the AM.

ETA: The day, she is turning around. I did in fact crawl back into bed and got a little more sleep. I then got up, had an onion bagel and made some coffee (something about coffee in the morning helps when I'm trying to do any writing -- it's like performance-enhancing drugs for my brain). As I was making coffee, The Best Dog in the World brought me his favorite ball to throw (he kind of... held it in his mouth and pushed it against the side of my leg to get my attention). We played a little indoor fetch, and I had a late breakfast.

As I'm finishing up my coffee and contemplating taking Darwin swimming, I get an email from Tora about some marketing stuff I wrote up for his boss as a favor (since they're a start-up company and have no marketing department). Incidentally, Tora's boss also happens to be "R" of the "R and C" duo with whom we spend a great deal of time. (I watched their kids while C had the baby, we get together for LAN parties, NCAA football parties, we go out to dinner together, and they were the reason Tora and I suffered no major meltdowns before the wedding.) I told R I didn't mind helping, as it'd take me no time at all.

Here is what the sales guy had to say about what I wrote:

Please find attached suggested revisions to marketize the text of the HEDIS document.

Whoever wrote the original did an incredible job and I love the way they write as it really shows their command of the material. The suggestions on the marked up version are just to marketize the text. Please feel free to keep what you like, remove / restore original text to your satisfaction.

There are now noises being made about possibly hiring me to be their one-woman marketing department.

I say if you can crawl back into bed on a day that's starting out badly, do it.

*hug* I hope it gets better when you wake up again.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I did it. And so far it seems to have worked. :)

We've all got days like that. Either way, I hope you feel better after some rest. :D

*hughug*

Got some rest, and I am back to my normal Nimmehbunneh self!! *glomps*

[moonphased.livejournal.com]

Hee! :D *huggleglomp* Good to hear! :D Sleep can do wonders, no? ;)


And "EeeeeEeEE!" about the good word on your marketing writeup! Here's hoping there's more in store! ^_^

*once she's sure she won't get maimed*

I hope the sleep helps. Maybe you just need to take it easy today?

*cuddles back*

I did crawl back into bed and got a little more sleep -- it wasn't a lot, really, but it was enough, and my urge to maim is back down to its normal levels. :)

Aaaaand I ended up not taking D to the pond party, because the people that go there are way to fucking chipper in the morning, and I? Was so not in a place to contend with chipper morning people. But he'll get his exercise one way or another today. I've been taking him over to swim in mom's pool, which is so, so entertaining to watch.

You don't have children. ~_^ I'm sorry you're having a bad day so far. Try taking a nap, and hopefully you'll feel better.

You don't have children. ~_^

LOL! No, but I have a dog who I had to take out after too little sleep and follow around (he has to be leashed, b/c we don't have a fence), waiting for him to go poo. So I'm in my pajamas, out in the yard, trying not to break my neck in my flip-flops on the slippery grass (nearly busted my ass once), and the moment it looks like he's going to "assume the position," he sees the neighborhood stray and nearly jerks my arm from the socket trying to go after it.

Yes, there were many F-bombs dropped this morning. XD

Apparently, sometime during the night, a mad scientist crept into my house and performed vivisection with my children's DNA, cross-sectioning them with snails and slugs. The end result was that they looked the same, but moved veeeerrrryyy ssssslllloooowwwwlllyyy. Insert one frantic Momma---"Hurry up! We're going to be late for school! Michael, get dressed! Sami, eat your breakfast! Where are your shoes! GAH, we're hitting every red light between here and the school!"---and Momma had flashbacks to her days when she was a pottymouth.
