Thanks a lot Jeffe, I missed work because I just HAD to get some sleep. Well, guess now I might as well go back to bed and just finish what I freaking very well started. Terd.

In the last 7 days I've had to clean poo out of the carpet 5 times. My two year old has a sudden fascination with the contents of his diaper, strips when he loads it, and tramples the stuff all over the floor.  :-X

Cleaning poo ranks up there with cleaning vomit. I'm getting really sick of doing it. I wish he'd just use a toilet, for heaven's sake.

I think his sudden fascination has to do with the fact that I've been potty training the three year old (without much success, I might add). However, fascination does NOT equal actually being able to use the toilet. Hence, I have to keep cleaning it up off the floor until I can finally get it through his thick skull that the floor is not a receptacle for bodily waste.

Nessa, I just went through the cleaning poo stage (or at least I'm mostly through it). I recommend putting the 2 year old in an outfit that if difficult for him to get off and get to the diaper. I'm not saying that this works all of the time but the poo cleaning should decrease. Good luck with potty training the 3 year old (I have no suggestions except for praying really hard). I happy that I'm not the only TWGer who has been cleaning poo of the floor lately.

I hope you don't blame me, Sprig, for being really grumpy about it and wanting to vent. Sorry it's so gross.

I'm grumpy because all hell has broken loose in my life.  In the last three weeks I have:

-injured my back with no forthcoming signs of recovery
-lost my job
-had a series of really random severe depressive episodes for no apparent reason
-experienced 24 hours of pure anxiety
-forgotten to prepare a lesson and then had to teach
-been broker than broker than broke

and last but not least, watched several of my close friends go through so serious crap.

Oi.  I am so tired of all this crap.

Ah, I totally know how you feel, and of course knowing how hard things have been for you just adds to the "friends going through serious crap" list.  I still think we all need to move to a ranch in Montana and open our own publishing house.  If we can just get someone to finance it. Actually hey a ranch in Ohio would work. Property prices are quite low at the moment.

Assuming that you do open a publishing house in Montana, or even Ohio, would it be possible to convince you to take a look as some stuff in a few years when I'll (hopefully) be a better author? *wink wink*

I second that!

And because this is the grumpy thread, pulling all-nighters to meet a deadline at work sucks.

can't we, y'know, have a ranch in a place where the weather is nice year round and is less poluted? I mean, if you're making me choose between Montana winters and Ohio air, I'm going to take choice c.

Um the air in Ohio is fine as long as you're not  near Cleveland or one of the other major industrial cities. I live in Amish country in the middle of freaking NOWHERE. You choose the location, then I don't mind.

Am I okay?  Heck no.  Got into about five fights with my boyfriend yesterday because we're both so emotionally drained.  (His life is going worse than mine, as if that were possible.  At least I don't have to rebuild the engine in my car.  Helps that I don't have one to break.)  

Both our lives need to go back to normal.  Stat.

Fish's grumpiness makes mine look trivial:

I'm grumpy because the tip of my left middle finger hurts. So what? I write for a living, and it hurts to type.

:P

Everyone should be allowed to whine once in a while.
