My grandmother, my mom's mom, had a way of getting to the meat of the matter, summing up a situation in a simple statement.
One of her favorites was, "Well, she'll just have to get glad in the same pants she got mad in." Translation: she needs to turn that attitude around immediately, today, not tomorrow.
And maybe I need to heed that advice. I'm grumpy. It's not that I don't have just cause, it's just that being cranky will get me nowhere and fast.
You see. . .
-The weather has given me a sinus headache from heck;
-Our plumbing has gone awry yet again, we have wet towels wrapped around our commode and the mere thought is making me sick at my stomach;
-Our cats are digging as if they have a chip bearing coordinates to a gold mind beneath their skin;
-My stomach hurts 24/7 now and my doctor is crazy;
-Drew Carey is going to host "The Price is Right" and I feel certain he won't be reminding us to spay and neuter our pets;
-I am forced to resort to seeking out guest appearances on other shows by the actors on Veronica Mars;
-I had seven inches cut off my hair and I am certain that my hair needs to be either shorter or longer, this inbetween is killing me. . . and my mood apparently.
Guess I just need to get glad in the same pants I got mad in. . . eh?

I say "wear a skirt."
7 inches?! My you are one brave woman!!!
My stomach has been hurting 24/7 too. No relief in sight. Maybe I should go to the dr...or have another skinny cow.
I like Phin's advice!
And I had no idea that your hair was long enough that you could have seven inches cut off and it still be "in-between." That's a shock to the system if there ever was one.
On the 24/7 stomach ache. I've been reading about probiotics. Maybe that would help.
It sounds like you're entitled to a little grumpy! I had no idea that drew carey was going to be the new host of TPIR. humph. that doesn't seem right. Plumbing issues are such a pain, up at the cabin last year at Camp Retz we had issues in the bathroom and J had to crawl underneath the house for 3 hours to fix it. And it always sucks when your fur babies aren't feeling well. Our cat sounds very horse, i think she meowed the whole time we were gone, so i feel guilty cuz she sounds horrible.
