EOM Blues anyone???

Here we go again. The dishes are beginning to accumulate in the sink. I have stacks of paper on every flat surface in my home and the laundry has started to pile up. The inside of my car has more empty water bottles then my recycle bin AND we still have three days to go. Why, why, why??? I hate 14 hour days!!!!

To the nice gal that posted the EOM blues a few months ago, please re-post it. I really could use a laugh right now.

You know it is last week to sign when...

You know it is last week to sign when...

*You have run out of clean dishes although you have place settings for ten and live alone with your dog.

*Your kitchen trash is filled with Chinese Food containers.

*Your vacuum cleaner has been sitting in the living room for days. You notice that if anyone stopped by, it would appear you were in the middle of house cleaning. This seems to be a good idea.

*If you try to slip in a nap, you place your cell phone next to your pillow.

*You get your socks and undies from your clothes dryer, not your dresser.

*You have a glass of Ovaltine and call it breakfast.

*Your ironing board is erected in your home office and holds stacks of papers.

*You want a cigarette even though you have never smoked.

*You look at your calendar to schedule each day's shower.

*You look in your rearview mirror as you are pulling out of your driveway. You notice that you applied eyebrow makeup to only one side.

*Happy Meals start to sound good.

*After your shower, you look at the mirror and see that you have just smeared hair mousse all over your face.


The above are ALL TRUE. I confess to being guilty of every one of them.

Thank you Melody! It's so nice to know that I am not alone in this world. I think I will frame this for all to see. Maybe then, my SO will understand why I get a little short with him this time of the month.

God - I love my job, most of the time anyway.

Look at the bright side...

Judging from all the posts complaining about lack of work, a 14-hour day is preferable to a zero hour day! Better to have too much work than not enough.

Re: You know you've had a crazy day when

your 4-year old son comes into your office at 9:15 (way past his bedtime... Daddy who is snoring on the couch did not do well pinch-hitting for mommy today). He is still dressed although his shoes are untied, pants twisted, pockets inside out, something red and sticky on his shirt, hair sticking out every direction, a pop-tart in one hand and a sucker in the other (dinner from daddy) and he says... 'What wrong mommy... are you waiting for your damn docs again?'

After I looked at him like a deer in the headlights I said, 'Why... yes I am stinker.' I gave him a quick wash-up, brushed his teeth, said his prayers and by 9:25, before I was done with the second page of 'Yertle the Turtle' he was out.

Becccca complains:

***The dishes are beginning to accumulate in the sink. I have stacks of paper on every flat surface in my home and the laundry has started to pile up. The inside of my car has more empty water bottles then my recycle bin***

All of that I can take, Beccccccca. What agets me are the fruit flies in a cloud over my overflowing trash can.
