Putting out Fires

Ahhh, isn’t moving grand?  Like how about when they TURN OFF YOUR WATER a full 3 weeks early and you don’t find out until after you’ve already flushed and need to wash your hands.  Oh and how about the fact that the septic people can’t come out until like TWO DAYS before we have to be all finished fixing the house.  And that’s the EARLIEST they can come out.

And my new baby?  Yeah, predictably I had the ‘Sorry We Missed You’ sticker on my front door this afternoon.  D*MN IT!  That means no new camera until the next time the Fedex guy and I happen to be in the same place at the same time.

Its just one of those days.  I didn’t realize it was going to be one of those days until after sitting through an entire day trying to stay awake during meetings with costumer reps, I went to go pick up something at the drug store, and in a daze I managed to hear the pharmacist say, “Yeah, I can always tell the holidays are coming when people start coming in and sighing and looking frazzled.”  Didn’t realize that sigh had really come out. 

 What is it about this time of year?  Is there a chemical imbalance triggered by the passing of Halloween?  Why is it that everywhere I look on the blogs I see, “I’m taking a break” or “I just don’t know what to say right now.”?  The holidays are the saddest time of year….

*UPDATE*  Well, the city actually pulled through and came out to make sure I had the ability to flush later.  Oh, and a few hours at the fire station with the boys cheered me right up.  So Thursday is now nothing more than the day before Friday and the start of my first weekend with Ryan in over a month!
