2009 sucks. This has got to have been one of the worst months of my life.
  • Kidney stones, enough said. (They aren't causing trouble at the moment but I still have a lot of follow up stuff to do)
    .
  • Replacing cavity fillings. Which is as awful as having them put in the first time. And also, I'm not a big fan of dental work. (Our dentist is very nice but I just hate anything to do with teeth.)

  • We switched internet/tv/phone providers yesterday. The new DVR seems nice but the internet connection is as spotty as hell. I'm currently hard wired in because I could.not.deal. If Greg is having issues with his computers today, I'm calling and bitching. (And me making a phone call on my own free will says a lot about how crappy the service has been.)

  • Along the same line, my laptop battery does not want to charge. If I stay plugged in, it remains at 10% but won't go up. I suppose I should use my 10% to back up files and everything but instead I'm on the internet (not wireless! grr) complaining.

  • The economy is awful. Which is so much fun on a single income in sales family. Would you like to buy some hospital software please?

  • Zach missed his middle school tour Tuesday night. I completely spaced and the event was never put on the calendar. Serious mommy guilt over this because all his friends went and it's supposed to be a really fun time. (Parents aren't included and snack is provided, what more could a 11 year old boy ask for?)

  • I'm not doing so well with nurturing personal relationships at the moment. One of my neighbors is really awesome and I want to hang out with her more but I just can't get myself to make the phone call or email. And I'd like to get to know a friend of a friend better and have I said anything to her? No. I suck.

  • My Etsy store isn't back up yet. And if it's not up, I'm not making any money. I also haven't put all my tax paperwork together, I'm late sending in Indiana sales tax, I spent $180 on a shopping cart software for my website in August and I haven't set it up yet, and I left some customers hanging when I took the store down a few weeks ago. My office is a wreck because I keep tossing things in it (Girl Scout stuff, items that need returned to stores, random school papers) and I feel rather overwhelmed with the thought of getting started again.

  • We spent $500 on pizza and eating out the last four weeks (thanks American Express for the nifty graphs). We usually spend $75 a month. Granted I know it was because I was sick and in the hospital for a few days and Greg doesn't cook but the budget is not happy.

  • I haven't exercised since before New Years. I feel like a slug.

  • Also, it is cold and there's snow outside. I hate the cold and snow. Things would be a lot better if it was 70 degrees.
The only bright spots so far have been that I'm finishing up my 3rd pair of knitted socks for the year (I knit socks when I am stressed the hell out) and I gave up Mountain Dew. I had one 12 ounce can on the 5th, half a 20 ounce bottle last Sunday (threw away the rest and it was either a few sips of pop or a 600 calorie Starbucks drink) and that's been it. It's kinda sad when all I'm happy with is some socks and having given something up.

I've never wanted a reset button as badly as I do now.
