Très grumpy

Oct 25th, 2007 by heidi

As you can probably guess, I’m grumpy today.

What’s that, you say?  Heidi, you are ALWAYS grumpy.  Au contraire, I reply!  I am ALWAYS sarcastic and cynical but I’m not generally grumpy.  In fact, I usually think the best of people and like to be around them, at least the ones that I know.

But today, my lovely toddler woke me up at 5.30 AM and I’m tired.  Tired. Tired. Tired.  Is there any way to convince a toddler that, really, he could sleep until 7 AM instead of getting up between 6-6.30 every morning?  I know that it doesn’t sound very different, that half hour, but it makes a very, very big difference to me.   5.30, however, is an hour that is of the devil and also anathema to my inner clock, which couldn’t adjust to getting up at that time even when I worked at a job that I had to be at in downtown Seattle for 7.30 AM and woke up at 5.30 AM every morning for six months.

Didn’t adjust then, won’t adjust now, so grumpy.

It makes browsing my livejournal communities with the bad spellers, anti-vaccination hooha (I’m not going to get my kid vaccinated for rubella because it’s only a risk to pregnant women…er…until YOUR KID GIVES SAID PREGNANT WOMAN RUBELLA, YOU NUMPTER!), and general inanity.  Normally I’m not so touchy.  Today I just want to write irate comments to everyone and sundry.

My mood isn’t helped by the fact that I’ve spent at least an hour and a half tidying our flat and it looks no neater.  Srsly.  We have too much stuff and too little storage space.  I abhor untidiness when I can’t clean it up.  When I feel lazy and can’t be bothered tidying but know that I COULD get it all put away if I wanted to, somehow it’s less intimidating and aggravating.

Anybody have anything to say that would cheer me up a bit?  Please?
