Betcha I feel crappier than you do!!!

A very wise woman once said...

"It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse!!!!!"

(who can tell me who it is?)

Well that's pretty much how I feel right now. I had pretty much THE crappies Thanksgiving of my entire life. We went to my Grandparent's house (I see them like, twice a week anyway) and it was just me, my dad, and the two of them. That's it. My dad just did a bunch of household chores for them and then we ate and my grandmother insisted that the turkey was done after three hours but it was, like, raw but that doensn't really matter to me because I don't eat turkey anyway. Then I watched Babe on TV and pretty much everyone fell asleep but me and then we ate dessert and packed up all the leftovers and went home. Yet this somehow took 5 hours. Don't ask me how.

Anyways I have a to do list that's about as tall as I am including things like:
-three different outlines I have to turn in for English essays
-book report on the Catcher in the Rye which is like, the most awesome book ever but I cannot come up with a thesis for the life of me.
-collecting samples of pond water for a science project and then writing the experimental section of my paper.
-full size model of a flower showing all of the different parts.
-two different scholarship essays.
-tracking down my theater instructor because she has to fill out a community service form for my scholarship info.
-figuring out what the hell I'm going to get people for Christmas.
-re reading my SAT prep book because I'm taking the test this Saturday.
-planning my birthday party
and
-studying for three different tests I have in school this week.

Oy vey.

So my dad gets all panicky about this and he's like, "You HAVE to do this!!" "We HAVE to do this!!!" And he's been all grinchy and depressed about it and I wrote an entire essay today and collected water samples from like 6 different ponds and he's like can't you push a little harder and do that book report? It's INFURIATING!!! And on Thanksgiving I got so frustrated I broke down and started crying and pretty much hyperventilating on the floor and he didn't show any sympathy or anything. He was just like well work on that essay later and go start your flower project now. Even fun things like taking out Christmas decorations he treats like a total chore. And because of my breakdown, he'll NEVER say yes to me taking more ballet classes which I've been meaning to ask him for months. He just doesn't LISTEN to me. ARGHH!!!!!!

I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. All I want to do is sleep.

OMG!! Good news!! I JUST figured out how to change the date and time on the posts!! I'm so proud of myself! YAY!!! Just click on post and comment options at the bottom of the typing field and it's just like there!!

Still depressed. Why is it that ALL of us have been feeling so lousy lately?
