Pity Party Post

I'll apologize because this is just one big pity party. I'm not necessarily having a bad day, in fact many good things have happened, but I'm just kinda blah, and having a couple of those cry at the drop of a hat moments. Okay, here goes:

I'm tired and worn out. This stupid class is killing me, and making it so I can't spend the time I want to spend on other stuff.

I went to visit X's mom today, and while she is always kind to me, it was just one of those, "wow" moments where I realized what was really happening.

Alex and Skylar have been as tired and grouchy as I have been, which always makes for an interesting mix.

I'm trying to re-home my dogs, which makes me sad to see them go, and frustrated that I haven't found anyone yet.; I keep getting flagged on craigslist because I'm asking $200 for both (but would negotiate a lot if I knew they were going to a great home), but let's think about this fee. That's $100 for each. You pay $75 at the animal shelter for a dog that you know just about nothing about. They have been living in cement cages for who knows how long, which is a very stressful environment. Mine are fully vetted, up to date on shots, fixed, microchipped, regularly groomed, and very loved. For the extra $25 I am asking for each, the new owner will get a $50 cage, 2 bags of high end dog food, heartworm medication, flea medication, water/food bowls, multiple leashes, tons of toys, bedding, clothing for Ruby, and whatever else is theirs. I still think that's a bargain, so stupid craigslist people. But, like I said, if you know anyone that's interested, PLEASE send them my way. They're wonderful little guys, but I just don't have time.

And then comes the cry for no reason spells. Honestly, I think the tiredness is behind this, since when I'm tired I don't function well. Also, the reality of having to do EVERYTHING hit again, meaning if I'm tired and want to go to bed, I can't really because the kids will have no parent, no one will take care of the dogs, dishes won't get cleaned, etc. etc.

And my washer isnt working. And I need to replace lightbulbs in my light fixtures that are on the ceiling in our 2 story foyer and 2 story porch (how does one do that anyway?). And my bathroom needs to finish getting painted. I have to sort through a boatload of stuff that was just piled on my air  hockey table when X left, but at least he didn't leave it on the floor.

And I can't run a mile at the Y, yet, which is really ticking me off.

I think that's it for now. I think I'm going to go to bed now, and hope it's all better in the morning.
