slap weezer
Dang, I have most excellent friends. I let it all hang out there on facebook with my ever so lovely comment that I “still want to slap someone”. ‘Cause I’m just really darn cranky today. I’m sure you hadn’t noticed. A college buddy o’ mine said I ought to look to this scene of yet another movie I’ve never seen but clearly need to add to my playlist. Of course she was right. Not to say I’m a violent person. I’m really not. I don’t generally go around needing to slap people. I know plenty of people for whom a good slap might do the trick. But I’m not going to be giving the good slap. Just to clarify. Anywho. I laughed until I cried when I saw this:

I’ve noticed that I’m not alone in this whole irritated/frustrated thing. And some people are happy and at peace and wow, am I ever jealous, cause I’m just jealous. And maybe I could put my finger on what it is that’s bugging me. Because we are well on our way to the holiday season. I’ve got the little loud one nagging the tarnation out of me to make her freaking costume. The little dirtbag actually took a bath tonight and combed out her dreadlocks because I told her I wasn’t starting the costume until she did. THAT’S how anxious she is. I have never let her down. I swear this to you on a stack of whatever you want me to swear on. Well, costume-wise, anyhow. Just stop freaking nagging me! So there’s Halloween. Yahoo. Close on the heels of Halloween we start Birthday Season. Because everyone in our whole family has a birthday between Nov. 8 and Jan. 27. Ev. er. y. one. All the grandparents, siblings, spouse, me, spawn, little loud one. Even the stinking sister-in-law (who is actually very nice) fits in to the family plan . I have to tell you, it is a pain in my butt. Throw in the multiple Thanksgivings and multiple Christmases and we have me going completely out of my mind visiting annoying relatives (who really are actually very nice) every other minute and needing to give someone a present every other day. I HATE the holidays. Did I mention we have the only grandchildren (aside from grandpets)? Everyone wants us to give them their fair share of actual holidays. And I’m incredibly greedy. I just want to have my own holiday in my own house with my own people my own way. But no. This is not to be. I must instead SCHEDULE, emphasis on over-.
Add in all the performances and shows and stuff that come with fall and holidays. Then add in all the final papers and stuff that go with the semester from hell. I’m not a happy camper. I just want to crawl back into the last day of summer and pretend that time has stood still just for me.
Because I want to slap someone.
You might give me good advice: take one day at a time, remember the reason for the season, be thankful, focus on the freaking positives. Yea, bite me. I should be grateful that we have everyone we should have. I should be grateful that my family is awesome. My kids are healthy and happy and involved. I should be grateful that it’s possible for us to spend time with our loved ones. I should be grateful.
Instead the holidays grate on my nerves and I want to slap someone. Perhaps you’ve heard.

I get that feeling of wanting to slap someone but it goes away when I think about the Packers winning the Super Bowl or when I listen to Weezer.
