Let me tell you, I was never so happy to see February appear on the calendar. If this is what 2008 is going to be like, I'm going back to bed and waking up when it is 2009. Let's see....
a) started a new position at work, one I thought would finally resolve my year in limbo, then the whole company imploded to the point no job is safe, so now I am working 12 hour days trying to fix a mess someone made last year knowing it is likely all for naught.
b) DS14 suffered a bad case of frostbite on his feet because he is an idiot. (Got locked out at a swim meet and walked outside in 0 degree weather with no shoes and no shirt)
c) My long-lost, presumed dead, brother apparently ran up huge debts before disappearing a few years ago, leading to nightly calls from bill collectors trying to find him, including one who claimed I was hiding him in my house that led me to have to call the sheriff's office.
d) Someone in the house had the flu just about every day in January, including DS14 getting violently ill on our way to a travel meet when we were miles from nowhere.
e) Did I mention we've been up to our ears in s*** and my snowthrower broke and since DS14 was hurt I've been having to shovel all by myself?
Anyway, enough whining. February hasn't been too bad...yet. Light at the end of the tunnel and all that.
Oh, hello, Mr. on-coming freight train.
