Alright, I'm sure it was already apparent before, but this is really bumming me out. Why, oh why did I agree to be a part of this? I can't really blame anyone else, cause it's not like I couldn't have just said, "No" when the request was made. I guess I figured if we all are gonna pull our share, I may as well do my part, but this.... this... this is just bullshit.

I'm trying to think of some way to put a more positive spin on things here, but.... right now, it just ain't happenin. Maybe I need to -- as they would say in some circles -- learn to set better boundries. Cause this arrangement just is NOT working for me.

And to think that bouncing and the parental units might be on their way up the hill right now, drinking in the fresh air and mountain breeze...

I'm sorry, I am just too bummed for words right now. It probably wouldn't be quite so annoying if (a) this last minute family event weren't happening that I'm missing out on, and (b) I felt like I was doing something of more urgency than what is now amounting to the usual, low key everyday tasks. Just another work day, which would be fine if it actually were just another work day.

Geez, how dumb could I be? Excuse me while I caffeinate, take a tranquilizer, and dream of an antiquated concept known as a "weekend". Screw it.
