Justifiable Homicide Tuesdays.... today


I had all intentions of posting a lovely blog about some cool snack/meal ideas I have, pictures and all......but then today happened. First of all my husband had the day off, who knew, I certainly didn't. He claims he told me but I don't remember. I was probably asleep for the five minutes a day I get and it didn't sink in or I ignored it, which is entirely possible. This totally put a crimp in my schedule. Next, I got grumpy with my youngest as she made her own birthday cake and ran out of butter. No one was volumteering to get some [I prefered to be the martyr and get it myself] so I stormed out and bought it for $5 a pound at the convenience store instead of going to the grocery store. I did appologize later btw. [no need for the birthday wishes, her birthday isn't until August but she and her best friend, who's birthday is in November, decided to have it early when people were around to attend.] The cake turned out great and they are celebrating as we speak [at the friends house thankfully]

I am finally trying to get some sleep [actually this was before the butter episode] and the husband decides to clean a bit...cool, but why does that involve coming in and out of the bedroom and banging around the house. He also grilled some steak for lunch [which I turned down] and every time he went in and out of the back door the screen door slammed shut. It's not like I haven't mentioned this fact before. He and the youngest decide to have a "debate" right outside the bedroom door and well there goes my sleep.

Ok, so I decide to write this lovely food blog and youngest wants to use the laptop to put some songs on her ipod for the party, ok no problem.......she is back in half hour, the laptop won't stay on and the screen flashes on and off then dies. I call Apple Care and they think it is the logic board, whatever that is, logic is something I know nothing about on the best of days. They say it needs hospitalization and suggest I call the Apple store. Cool, I call and they say the Genius Bar is closed Thursday, the only day I can go, because the new iphone is being released. WTF, the world stops for  new iphone? They kindly give me the number of a third party agent who can fix it and how wonderfully helpful they were and I will be bringing it there tomorrow and will hopefully have it back for the weekend. Meanwhile I am mourning the loss of my MacBook for the short term. [thank goodness for the extended waranty]

I did manage to go to the gym and bike my 10+ miles on the recombant bike and do the leg machines. I even enjoyed myself as I have 40, yes 40 Oasis videos on my ipod now and watching them while I bike makes the time go by so much quicker. [I have long had a soft spot for the Gallagher brothers]

It is now 6:59pm and time for bed as I have to work tonight, I guess I'll have dinner at work. Hopefully I can gt past this raging carb craving I have been having. I suppose I can't expect to have the perfect diet day every day...but I am trying.

If you managed to read all this whinning, thanks and lets hope tomorrow is a better day. How has your day been?

Naps are non existent in my house too. The bf is a very loud person and with two dogs always glued to my side. Naps are just a nice memory these days!

I hope things are better for you today.

Yesterday, after lunch, my day went downhill fast. I was soooo freakin grumpy. And I couldn't concentrate for shit. I was going nuts. Today is better. Hopefully for you too!

First time here on your blog...somedays everything seems to go wrong. Hope you have a great day today.

Yankee Girl said...

I read all of it. I figured I have done enough whining on my own blog that I should read when someone else does the same!

Hope the week has been better!

Sorry your family had such a lack-wit day! (Debating outside your door? Really?) Didn't Johnnie Depp play slide on "Fade In Out"?

"He claims he told me but I don't remember. I was probably asleep for the five minutes a day I get and it didn't sink in or I ignored it, which is entirely possible. This totally put a crimp in my schedule." This happens to me all the time! I feel like such an ungrateful wife when he comes homes early or doesn't go to work and he cuts into my nicely planned schedule. I love him, I really do....but when I've just spent the morning cleaning and he waltzes through the door and walks through the sweeping pile while I'm looking for the dustpan and whisk broom....Grrrr! - G
