Thursday Thirteen: From the deep, dark pits of negativity

Sorry for the very negative slant on this one. But hell, it’s kina what’s going on now and I’ve promised to be honest here. Enjoy! (at your own risk)

Oh man... I hope things are looking up a little for you, Les! Big hug....
Posted by Marie on 2006-02-05 11:23:43 Just getting around to the rest of the 13 list. I am so sorry your kids are teething. This too shall pass, my oldest will be 13 next week. Guess what I will 13 about next week. ;) Happy weekend!
Posted by nancy on 2006-02-04 07:30:48 ugh...what a day! You've got company-we still haven't sold our house either (and now the BRAND NEW %$^%&#! roof is leaking in one place!) Hope Mr. Flinger's job stuff works out positively. Hope you get to take that long bath soon...Remember you get to return one of the LBs at the end of the day (and yours is a keeper!)

Posted by Holly on 2006-02-02 17:47:49 Ooh... are we on a negative track? I'll jump on that train... 1. Boys who say they're gonna call and then don't are LAME! 2. Passive agressive people suck. 3. It's still frickin' raining! 4. Downstairs neighbors who are so filthy they attract mice to the house (split into apartments) should be bound and gagged... and evicted. 5. Roommates sometimes seem like they're not worth the rent you save by not living alone. 6. Co"workers" who are lazy and really just make more work for you should be fired. 7. Bosses who pretend like they're doing something about the lazy co"work"ers but don't actually fire them should be fired. 8. People who cut you off in traffic and then stick their tongue out at you (yes, he did, and yes it seemed more offensive than if he had flipped me off!) should have their tires slashed. 9. Did I already say that boys who say they're gonna call and then don't are LAME??? 10. And especially after they tell you the had such a great time and can't wait to call you... that just makes it worse! 11. Oh, and did I say that passive agressive people suck? Yep, they do - especially when it's your roommate! 12. Is it the freakin' weekend yet? 13. Goddamn groundhog seeing his shadow and making us have 6 more weeks of winter!! I'm ready for sunshine, laying out by the water, and a hot pool boy to bring me an umbrella drink full of 3 kinds of rum and lots of fruity yumminess!!!

Posted by Sarah on 2006-02-02 15:54:10 Oh dear. This is incredibly sucky--or wonderful if the job/move idea is good. I am so sorry! HUGS TO YOU!
Posted by Running2Ks on 2006-02-02 14:11:08 Negativity is IN! Didn't you know? Or maybe it's just my posts infecting yours. Heh.
Posted by candice on 2006-02-02 10:57:05 Our damn neurotic dog ALWAYS starts to bark the second the baby is asleep. We also get a lot of deliveries at the house for the hubby's biz and then that makes both dogs go apeshit. I can't imagine coordinating two naps. Let us know about job news...sounds promising? I hope today is bettah.
Posted by Jamie on 2006-02-02 10:09:44 funny 13! I have sat for a lot of children and have friends with kids that have the same problems! It never fails...just when you think you can relax, something else blows up. my girlfriends are counting the days until kindergarten begins! my 13 are up.
Posted by amy on 2006-02-02 09:09:10 Yikes. That is one shitty day. Have you moved from mice to rats? None in the traps? Call an exterminator. Hopefully next Wednesday with the two LB's will be a hell of a lot better.
Posted by traci on 2006-02-02 08:48:33 Oh Leslie, what a sucky day. I hope today is better...and at least you only have one LB! (I'll get my Thursday 13 done at some point today...maybe.)
