Inconvenient Annoyances

Why is it so freaking cold in my office today? I'm sat here with a scarf and jumper on over my top and my hands are turning blue...

I forgot to add my current IA while I was here a minute ago...

My 2 year old and her obsession with Balamory and just her current voyage through the terrible two's waters... I want my sweet, plesant little girl back not this screaming, raving monster that seems to have taken her place...

Oh well 'this too shall pass'.

I remember once asking the health visitor if a day would ever come when some one of us wasn't crying.

Thank you BD, just to know that it's not just me has felt that way does help.

Cramps that started yesterday afternoon but only have gotten worse they usually start out bad an get better not the other way around grrr!!      if I have to have cramps I would rather have them bad at first then they are done an over with!!     

I got up nice and early to go to Sainsburys and pick up my turkey with other items.  While I was in the candy aisle I stopped and stared at the hard candy.  I thought 'there really should be some Brach's assorted Christmas candies there like Grandma used to have'.  Then I started thinking about that damn candy sitting in her candy dish.  My eyes started welling up thinking about her, my Grandpa, my Uncle, and others that have passed away. 

It isn't homesickness, but what I wouldn't give to go back 30 years and tell them all how much I love and miss them.

I was thinking about this when I was deciding what we will have for dinner tomorrow.  My grandmother insisted on a formal, family dinner before we opened presents on Christmas Eve.  I really miss that and since she was the one who insisted on that meal, made it all, and really made it a big family deal, I really miss her at Christmas.  I wish I would have told her more.

I never look at a cheese ball covered in nuts without thinking about my grandmother (she's, thankfully, still alive). She always insisted we have one at our Christmas get-togethers because she thought they were 'fancy'. Ha!

Awww (((hugs))) Red5 and persephone -

My IA is that I have to face Tesco after work. Shudder.

Hugs...at least you don't work at Tesco or someplace similar. My husband works for Co-Op, he's been there since 6 this morning & just rang to say he's still there and doesn't know when he'll be home

DH and I will also launch ourselves headfirst into the chaos of Tesco tonight.

I said something stupid and insensitive today.  I just feel mortified.
