Sara is writing an e-mail to the Collin Raye fan club. Never thought she'd be saying something like that. ;)
Sara interviewed an awesome intern candidate today. Too bad nothing else has gone quite as planned.
Sara says seriously? Does everything have to go haywire the same week Dayna travels? Every single week he goes away, all hell breaks loose!
Sara is thinking positive thoughts so as not to be this grumpy the rest of the week.
Sara is Off to SMC of SLC Open Mic Night. Come join me. Starts at 5:30 at Neutron Interactive downtown.
Sara wants to know what happened to her kiddo who slept so well. Please tell her this not sleeping thing is a phase. Please!
Sara is wondering why she gets a burst of productivity an HOUR before closing time? It couldn't have come 7 hours ago?!
Sara is watching Woodstock try to clean up the huge mess she made on her kitchen floor. Papers and coins everywhere - and G saying "Wow! Cute! It's Funny!" Eh. Not so much.
Sara says the snow is not helping her Monday be any better. Aaarrggh.
Today, someone (not a reader of this blog) mentioned how grumpy I've been on Facebook lately, and suggested I try positive thinking.
To which I respond:
It's not so much that I'm perpetually grumpy, it's that I'm venting so I don't go insane.
It's not so much that I'm perpetually grumpy, it's that the week before last I spent 4 days travelling (mostly for work, then I got unexpectedly stranded at my parents' house) - and came home to being behind at work, behind at home and missing my kiddo like crazy.
It's not so much that I'm perpetually grumpy, it's that 11 hours after I arrived home for said trip, Himself left on a week-long business trip - sans his cell charger, which meant he was nearly impossible to reach all week. You can imagine the mental state one might dissolve into as a pregnant woman, temporary single parent to a sick Woodstock (bad cold/teething), full-time job, while trying to keep herself and Woodstock properly fed, clothed and clean (easier said than done). If you are a single mom and either a) employed full-time or b) pregnant - you have every ounce of sympathy I can muster. I can't imagine being you permanently.
It's not so much that I'm perpetually grumpy, it's that I'm worried about half a dozen things - some in my control, some not.
It's not so much that I'm perpetually grumpy, it's that I feel like I've been perpetually overwhelmed the past couple of weeks between a couple of big work projects, travel and all the normal stuff of life.
It's not so much that I'm perpetually grumpy, it's that I feel like I'm re-living my life 2 years ago all over again - sitting on egg shells, wondering if we're moving, when and to which state. And what it means for my job and the pregnancy and everything else.
In short, I'm not grumpy. There's just a lot going on ...

Unexpected. Overwhelmed. MIA husband. Over-nighters away from children. Any one of those can usually ensure that I have a few days of perpetual grumpiness. Affirmations are good, but so is a moment of peace.
You're not grumpy...you're venting, and you have good reasons to!! Besides, it's healthy. I AlWAYS feel better after I facebook or blog a frustration. It makes it seem not as big of a deal. Like I let it out into the world and it's not just swirling around inside....anyway...vent away! Besides, you write happy stuff, too.
