WARNING: Don’t come too close because I may be contagious.
It seems as though I have contracted a fairly serious case of the blog-blahs. In other words, I think I’ve lost my blojo.
The doctor thinks it was brought on by a combination of PMS and a nagging head cold that has hopping around my family since the holidays. The fact that I’m sick of just about everyone in the whole wide world makes me think that he’s right about the PMS. I had no idea the two could result in such a serious condition.
I have nothing positive, sunny, sweet or charming to say. I’m not feeling at all like my normal MommaK self. Instead I feel sulking and moaning and bitching about all that annoys me.
Please be a sweet dear and leave some midol and/or sutafed or just slowly & quietly click the X box in the top of your browser. I’m sure I’ll be fine in a day or two. You know me…
I “clicked here” and got even more sorry for you than I was in the first place.
Get somebody to give you a foot massage and some love pats. Poor baby.
Hugs to you!
You sure sound like you need lots of hugs and a warm bubblebath. Take care of yourself.
Well, first let me say I am glad to have heard from you shitty mood and all, since I was worried.
Second, I was there last week. It was hell. Do you think post-holiday PMS is worse than other months?
I clicked. Selling a house is hard with pets and kids. Hopefully, it wil go quickly.
I agree with the uncle thing - they drive me crazy. It actually makes me sick to my stomach having to even talk about them. It is also difficult when you have your significant other (mine - not yours) who thinks that I am probably overreacting and that they are not as bad as I make them out to be.
The the Brownie troop thing sucks. Why can’t people just live up to our expectations (including our family)?
Poor sweetie pie…I think many of us have an uncle(aunt/mom/dad/sister/cousin) like that.
This sounds like a double-bottle Fat Bastard problem.
I’m on the way! I’m sure mixing that with some Sudafed is really okay, don’t you?
The older I get, the more I realize how many people there are in the world who can make a commitment and then feel no guilt by not fulfilling it–even when it makes someone else’s life hell. That always amazes me. Sounds like you are one of the good eggs, to me. Hope your nice soak in the tub helped you feel a little better and that you get over teh blog-blahs soon. It happens to all of us now and then, believe me!
I watched Erin Brockovich last night when I was feeling the same as you do right now. I felt much better afterwards. That makes me even more strange huh. :giggle: :razz: :wink:
I was an assistant leader umm…..12 years ago, and it was the same thing then.
They dropped the kids off and practically burned rubber, late to pick them up, paid dues late, were always busy when it was volunteer time and then didnt do what little they would finally agree to.
I had two other children who I dragged with me to the meetings and sing alongs and all that!
This is why I dont volunteer for much right now but when I do, I DO it.
:yes:
Take a break and watch a good movie, EAT SOME CHOCOLATE girl!
sounds like you need some down time, curl up with your favorite book or pop in a dvd, just some time with nothing but yourself to recharge.
Blojo sounds like something else…but then I have a dirty mind today..just get liquored up
Those are some pretty darn good reasons to be annoyed.
I’ve been there! Sorta there now. How are your auctions coming?
We need to talk! Maybe there is something Unga Chunga can do to help! At least that is my first reaction - how can I make you better?
Sounds like you are taking a stab on selling the house. All I can say is that from the homes I saw last year when I was selling, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Big difference between a ‘lived in’ house and a dirty cluttered house. You have done wonders to that house that you can be proud to show off!
Sorry about the lazy Brownie mothers - is there some way you can push ‘mandatory’ participation? Maybe have a heart to heart with the group and threatened mutiny. I know you don’t want to disappoint your little one. Tough call.
See you tomorrow and let me mother you!!
you need a warm bath with bubbles, with soft music. Hope you get in your great self mood soon.
Sorry this is a stinky time, MommaK! Boy, PMS has hit me hard this week too…
Good luck with everything. Tell those Brownie parents to help or else!!! The thought of keeping a house ready to show completely amazes me… I don’t know how I’ll do it when we get to that point! Hugs… :wave:
Well, my dearest friend in the whole wide world, people are axxholes… ooh - excuse my french! I don’t know where that came from… anyway… Don’t panic… it will all work itself out in the end and in 6 months or so, this will all be a distant memory — and hopefully it will be funny. If there is anything I can do for You - please please please let me know. I am available for tea, lunch, shopping, chocolate, or even a good laugh.
Love you lots!!

You totally need like a case of Calgon. Or nice shot of brandy - or something.
I hope you’re having fun (with all the things on your weekend to-do list) regardless of your Blojo status. Like a bad case of gas, this too shall pass.
I go through periods like this too. And I can completely sympathize with you on the Brownie thing. One reason why I wouldn’t be the leader when asked when our old one “retired”. I would get so mad that out of 9 girls, there were only 4 moms who helped, and that was including the troop leader. Everyone else thought it was a small daycare service or something. :rant:
I’m sorry about your uncle - my uncle is a jerk to my mom. Weird!
Bluff those parents with a hardline stance — but be prepared to back it up.
Send an email (or better yet, call) saying you withdraw, and if they want it done then do it themselves.
People will only use you as a doormat if you let them. Be tough! :p
“lost my blojo”
Not when you make up words like that, you haven’t!!
Go ahead and take that bath or several of them. Heck, go get a nice aromatherapy massage, drink pomegranate tea, or whatever it takes for as long as it takes. I’ll be there when you get your blojo back. :-)
Hugs!
*big hugs* Hope you feel better soon honey. Sorry things are so crappy right now.
MommaK, I know how you feel. I was there last week and I just couldn’t shake it. I was nervous about starting the next semester, I was scared to start my new job, I was worn out from waiting tables every damn night, and I hated that I had one friend who was always with her boyfriend. My point is, this is normal and you’ll get past this cause you always do.
The Winter Blues don’t help the situation, either.
Feel better!
I know the feelin’ sugar. A beer or twelve usually makes me forget all about the ingrates of the world. :wave:
Being a brownie leader sucks! Been there, done that, quit that!
Sometimes life just gets ya down… Be good to yourself and I am sure you will be back in all your loveliness!!
HUGS!
I have Cheezit’s and Diet Pepsi..and maybe some Fat Bastard Wine if you’re lucky..Hang in there chickee..call me if you need and ear, or food or someone to hit…
WOW! Hugs are in order here. You have so much on your plate right now. The blog world will wait. I have been thinking of you lately, (as you know if you checked your e-mail). Hugs again!
I hope you feel better MommaK. Have some time to relax and do what you want. Ok?
That happens to me periodically too. I think every blogger loses their blogjo at one point or another. :sad: I hope you feel better soon and we’ll be waiting here, eager to listen to your thoughts!
Funny. I checked your blog while having a martini and my own pity party. Not really funny, ha ha, but, you know what I mean. I am really sorry about your uncle. Selling a house sucks. And yes, there are tons of people out there that expect others to raise/take care of their children. I can’t tell you how many calls we got for that at work. Is there an anwser, no, we just have to struggle through and do what is best for our families. I wish you luck. Maybe a nice jazzercise session can help. Sadly, I am giving it up for my family.
I hope you feel better soon. Until then…

Woke up in the middle of the night thinking..”Wheathins..not cheezits!!” Sorry must’ve been the beer breath ;0)
((((((((hugs)))))))) when that happens to me, I take my car to the shop and find out how many thousands of dollars they want to make it all better. no, that doesn’t help. what was my point? I really can’t remember. do you like ice cream? how about jello?
hey, we all feel like that sometimes. it’s NO BIGGIE. so don’t worry, the blojo shall return. and we will all still be around.
Oh God… can I just say a big AMEN? Glad it’s not just me….
Awww I know exactly how you feel. The results of me blogging with no mojo are not worthy of recall. I do hpe you feel better soon.
Oh no! Did you catch it from me? I’m actually finally starting to get my blojo back along WITH my mojo.
Feel better soon MommaK!
Oh my. I soooo know the feeling. We love ya no matter what!
