So fed up.

I am so, SO fed up with people telling me they're going to do something and then just NOT doing it. If someone asks me to do something and I actually commit to doing it, I DO IT. Someone else is counting on me and it is not in my nature to just drop the ball and let someone else figure out how to pick up the pieces of the mess I've left.

Why can't other people be considerate enough to do that?

PEOPLE. IF YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO SOMETHING, IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER YOUR BUTT FOR YOU. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THAT YOURSELF.

It's called being a responsible, mature adult.


Yeesh.

ugh

I am really feeling like crap today. I didn't have a good night last night, and today my throat is hurting and my head is still aching. It seems like anymore I have a constant headache, and nothing helps it. I still have a ton of books sitting on my nightstand, but since reading gives me a migraine (I need new glasses, my old ones are nearly 10 years old and scratched to heck and back, therefore they're unusable), it's hard to get through them. I want to get through Red Riding Hood and Beastly before the movies come out in a couple of weeks (Red Riding Hood comes out March 11 and Beastly comes out March 4).

So... does anyone have any good funny books to recommend? I loved the Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging series, and I liked A Match Made In High School. Anything along those lines would be great.

Happy Wednesday to all - hope it's better than mine's looking to be...

LOL moments...

My Husband: Oldest daughter, if you get a C in school, you'll still be my daughter.
My Oldest Daughter: o-kaaaaaaaaaaaaay....
My Husband: It'll just be harder to love you.
My Oldest Daughter: (throws a dog toy at him)
My Husband: I'm just kidding, you know I love you.
My Oldest Daughter: I know.
My Husband: (under his breath) Because I have to.
My Oldest Daughter: (throws three more dog toys at him)
