Ok, so I've been in a really foul mood all day. I don't know why, I just have been and haven't had any desire to change it. It's only the end of January and I'm already sick to death of the political crap on television. I hate politics and I hate politicians and as I said I'm just in a really bad mood. Then, I got an email from a friend that just irritated the hell out of me. Of course it probably would not have bothered me so much if I hadn't been feeling pissy in the first place, but you know how that goes.

Nothing bad happened at work. As a matter of fact the day went pretty smoothly and the people around me were very easy to get a long with so at least the day did not seem to drag on. Plus, the kids were pretty good today and worked really hard.

By the afternoon I was feeling a little better. My students and I were all very ready to go home for the weekend. I did get a couple little hugs and that helped a lot. First graders are just so loving and caring. I am very lucky to get to work with kids of that age.

I did not go to get the kids right away after work because again, Michaela asked me not to. It seems her daycare teacher has made Friday afternoons very exciting for her. So, I had a little time to myself which helped my mood. By the time I picked up the kids I was feeling a little more human.

We picked up something for supper on the way home so we would not have to go out in the cold tonight at all. I do love all seasons, but there is such a thing as too much cold. Plus, honestly since it seems we're just never going to get a decent snow again I'm just ready for spring. No, I'm ready for summer.

Tonight at home I helped Caleb get his Webkinz registered and then tried to have some quiet time to myself. Michael followed me back to the bedroom and wanted to talk. I love that my husband wants that time with me and that he's still that much in love with me. I just really needed to not have to talk or think about what someone else was saying. He ended up falling asleep when Ghost Whisperer came on, though so I did get to see it. It was a rerun of course. I've lost my patience with the writer's strike.

Then, Garth Brooks was coming on and he just irritates me. I mean I actually like to listen to his music, but I don't want to look at him and I don't want to hear him telling me how great he is, but Michael really likes him. So, I left him to his Garth Brooks and went and took a bubble bath. That was the best thing I'd done for myself all day. I let the water get as hot as I could stand it and just laid there in the bubbly fragrant water. It was a very relaxing thing.

When I got out, the kids were watching a Muppet movie and I went downstairs to find something to watch that I like. I found Find Your Style on HGTV. When it was over I put the kids to bed and watched House Hunters and House Hunters International. Now it's time for bed.
