I'm trying really really hard to maintain a positive, happy attitude this holiday season but sometimes it really seems as though my family is totally conspiring against this.

Like most of you I have a job. I don't have much time for anything. Tonight I wanted to finish wrapping my presents. Everyone knew this because I told them so yesterday at dinner. Tonight I get home from work, eat, run to the bookstore and come home to wrap presents. When I go to do so I discover all of the wrapping stuff is gone. Including all the special little gift bags I bought to use for the gift cards I bought. My mother tells me she put it all "in the garage" because she was done with it. I found things stuffed and crumpled up in shopping bags and no sign of the little bags. I figured I would wrap what I could but my father refused to leave the room, saying he wouldn't look. Well I really could not give a damn if he did look, but since he sits there smoking like a chimney I can't breathe so I can't stay in the room. So bottom line, nothing got wrapped. My houseguests arrive tomorrow, and I am sick of the damn holidays before they even get started.

Tomorrow I will leave for work an hour early, stop and buy what I need to wrap and hope I can comandeer the conference room before the execs show up and want to conference in it.

There better be cake when I get home but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe I better buy that while I'm at it.

I need a grumpy icon.

ETA:I feel better now. g_cneal has made me a Grumpy icon :-)
