Irritable!

I'm usually a very happy person, but recently I've been beyond irritable. Every little thing gets on my nerves. I don't know if it's because the second week of the semester ended today and I'm already overflowing with work or if it's the winter blues. Now that I think of it, I think it's both! Here are a few things that I noticed this week that really got on my nerves:

  • Skateboarding down the middle of the street. This isn't new. It always happens. But why? I don't understand! What's wrong with the sidewalk? Oh yeah, nothing!

  • Bicycling down the middle of the street. Again, what in the world is wrong with the sidewalk?

  • Facebook. I have a weakness. I never erase "friends" on facebook. Around 75% of my "friends" post about their sad lives- how they can't afford kitty litter, how they're pregnant and have a crappy boyfriend, or they got fired from their job and can't find a new one. It's time to erase some of these people before they depress me!!

  • My husband leaving the toilet seat up which leads to my dog drinking from the toilet and making a mess in the bathroom.

  • My kitten scratching the crap out of one of our walls. Is it just me or does it look like I need to train my animals (husband included) better?!


  • That is a short list of things that are common in my life. Well, maybe not the kitten scratching the wall. But everything else is common and I've never been irritated with them until recently. I think I'm due for a vacation. Perhaps I'm stuck in a rut?! My husband wants to go to Brazil for spring break, but after all the travel time we won't have much time to enjoy. I'm going to suggest a vacation to Florida.

    Brrr!!

    My husband went home to Brazil for a month to spend the holidays with his family. I decided to not go because I recently became an aunt (!!!) and I wanted to go home to be with family and friends. It was really sad being apart on Christmas and New Years, but it was the best option this year.

    Anyway...

    The only thing I know about his trip is how hot it was while he was there! His house doesn't have air conditioning, which left him longing to be back in the States. A few days ago he wanted to crawl into the refrigerator because he was so hot. His plane will be landing in Chicago in about 5 hours...his wish has been granted! It is freezing here!! We live way south of Chicago so I don't physically know what it's like there, but according to weather.com it feels like 6 degrees with an estimated 5.6 inches of snow!
