Ten things I hate about today (in no particular order):
1) Mollie (puppy) takes a very large, very smelly dump on the living room rug.
2) Mollie (puppy) pees on my sisal carpet. (BTW: distilled white vinegar works wonders.)
3) Nurse from Claire’s school calls me to pick her up because she “feels weird.” Turns out Claire has a low grade fever that is hopefully not, but could potentially be the swine flu.
4) Scale is clearly broken. Says I gained three pounds.
5) Decide to run and take two dogs with me to multi-task. Have to stop THREE times along the way to pick up crap. Have to continue running with poop bags hanging on my shorts.
6) Dogs get tangled up with each other eight times.
7) Running through neighborhood, picking up momentum, feeling better, car pulls over to me (to say “way to go?” No.) to say “get out of the f-ing road!”
“Huh?” I say.
“Get out of the f-ing road!”
Shoulders tense up.
8) Keep running. Heading up hill to home. Dogs pulling to check out old woman walking little dog. “Keep your dogs away from my puppy. She hates dogs!” She calls. Hmmm. Walk your f-ing dog in your back yard, I think to myself (but don’t say) as I huff and puff up the hill. Scale still broken.
9) Eat two cookies.
10) Try to get kids to stop fighting. Try to get kids to do homework. Try to get kids to finish dinner. Try to get husband to pick up kid from dance class.
Think about people with attitudes today. Think they must have been acting out due to crappy lives. Hope they have crappy lives. Feel a little bad. Get over it and drink a glass of wine.
