Things I Shouldn't Do

At Certain Times of the Month:

- Read any discussion board anywhere.

- Post on any discussion board anywhere.

- Say anything.  At all.  To anyone.

I've let idiots on a message board provoke me.  I am 42 years old, and I can't let some things go.  I read what they have to say, I think "What kind of bozo is this?" and then I must share my feelings.  In real life I'd be more likely to listen, be incredulous, and gossip about it with Steve later.

Except for certain business meetings, where I am far too candid.  Fortunately my boss finds me amusing - for now.  If Steve were still going to these meetings, I'd have him kick me under the table when I get started.

And it's absolutely at least partially hormones.  Sometimes things just roll off me, or I roll my eyes and move on.  But some days Really Stupid Stuff just sticks in my craw.

Someday I won't have hormones anymore, and I will miss them.  I wonder if I'll be less of a big mouth?

Bad night with Em again.  Mommy not lying down turns out to be a REALLY BIG DEAL, especially right after a time out.  Of which I had to give her three, so not lying down didn't really buy me anything, did it?

I've ordered another random parenting book from Amazon.  I guess I'm still looking for the book that's got the chapter on Really Smart Kids Who Are Tired But Don't Want To Go To Sleep And Giggle When You Get Mad At Them And Only Understand When You Leave The Room But Get Really Upset And So Does Mommy Because She Can't Stand Cry-It-Out.  It might be awful, but at least I've got a seller's account on half.com now so I can unload it if necessary.

I suck at this.
