Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Magical Fairy Dust
My family is stressing me out. Snookums is in a bad mood,
Kiki is crying about everything and Annie isn't doing a
damn thing I tell her to do, or the exact opposite of what
I tell her to do. Either way I can't win. Where are your
comments now, Ms. "My children are my universe"? What
should I do? Lay down and let them walk all over me? I'm
still bitter about her criticism and wish there was such a
thing as a cyber bitch slap. Because, she'd be getting one
in her inbox right about now. I think I'm in a bad mood
(just maybe) and my childrens' bedtime can't get here fast
enough.
Today dragged by at a snail's pace. I think that's what's
causing my irritation. Too much closeness with the family.
I don't care who the person is, I don't want to spend more
than a few one-on-one hours with anybody. Call me a
hermit, recluse, loner, whatever. They'd all be true. I
think that after all the pain the human race has inflicted
upon me, I've learned to protect myself through methods of
avoidance. It's a wonder I have a family at all. But I
suppose if I have to be around any group of people for any
lenghty amount of time, it would be my family. So, it
works out.
Pain is making me snippy as well. Tomorrow I should be
finding out the definitive cause of my discomfort and
oddly enough, I'm not looking forward to it. I'd rather
not go. Instead, I'd like to sprinkle some magical fairy
dust over my head and have the offending ailment
miraculously vaporize into the cosmos, but that's just
silliness and I know that only modern medicine can help me
now, so I'll be there promptly at 8am. More than likely,
the ultrasound technician is going to remain tight-lipped
as to whether or not they see anything and I'm not going
to know what the hell I'm looking at (because the only
ultrasound images I understand are the inside of my womb),
so I'll be forced to wait until my doctor (or a surgeon)
calls to break the news. If it isn't my 1960's, woodstock,
flower child of a doctor on the line, I'll know the
results instantly.
Now that my blood pressure has dropped and I'm feeling
more in-control, I think I'll go make amends with my
family. The girls' are ready for bed, so I'll take over
story duty. Snookums made a trip to Castles (our friendly,
local adult entertainment store) today, so I know we'll be
making up in the bedroom later :) Ciao.
