Irritable
11:29 PM Edit This 3 Comments »
I tried to be a nice person today, but Eric received the majority of my not-very-nice-ness. It didn't start until we got to Target (after going to Louisvile Overstock and agreeing on a couch that we like!), but we went on to have a nice lunch at Olive Garden.
Our plan after lunch was to head to my mom and dad's for Duncan to nap, and I would go to Costco to look at laptops - did I forget to mention that my laptop finally died this morning? It was restarting itself over and over. Joy. Well, we got to my parent's house and the dang door was locked. This was not their fault; we never mentioned that we would be stopping by. They had a party last night and I never got a chance to talk to them about it, and they were gone all day at some sort of enlightenment thing. But anyway, the fact that we were locked out did not add to my generally crabby mood. Duncan was already tired and we definitely did not want to skip over Costco because they have good deals on electronics. So we decided to go there anyway, and that trip was rather successful. No laptop, but no worries.
We arrived home around 3:30 and Duncan went down for his nap. Eric left for Best Buy and I sat down to relax. When he left, I was under the impression that he was getting a Netbook ... no such luck. I felt like an all-around terrible person, too, because why should I be so dang upset over what KIND of computer it is? I should be grateful to be getting a new one at all. This is a serious flaw that I need to work out, and SOON. Ugh. And this guilt just makes me feel even worse.
Another thing I need to work on? Getting fired up when I read birth stories. I read a comment last night where this woman who had a c/s (planned, I think, which is an entire other argument) said she can't imagine why anyone would want a vaginal birth after her great c/s experience. Um, maybe because that's how babies are supposed to come out!!! See, this is what I mean. I need to keep my mouth shut (I did not reply to her, though I could have written her a novel - but like I said, it's none of my business). C-sections are a wonderful thing when they're needed, but what could possibly have changed when 1 in 3 women have them today, and the rate was 7% just 30 years ago? Okay, sorry. Vent over.
I think I should go to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.

3 Observations or Opinions:
Take it from a computer guy... Netbooks seem like a great idea, but they are TERRIBLE. I made the mistake of selling a decent laptop, and buying a netbook, and I regret it every time I use this turd. I'll be getting rid of it in the next month or two and getting a real laptop, and I can't wait.
Little things bother me all the time, and that book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," didn't help at all. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. You're a good person and everyone gets angry sometimes.
