Trying to be positive

So I am sitting here saying to myself what I want to write, and thinking about how I am such a pessimistic bitch.  In the big picture my life is pretty dang good.  Both my husband and I have jobs, our kids and families are healthy, we own a home, we own two cars, we don't live in the Sudan or some other wretchedly depressed place.  But still, I am pissed.  I am so annoyed ALMOST all the time, I can hardly stand it. 

I just got a book in the mail today from one of my sisters which I hope will help.  It is called A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose.  I should have asked for a book on tape, as any time I have I am on facebook, doing payroll (or something work related) or as of recent, BLOGGING!  Anyway, I will keep ya posted on the book.

Yesterday.  So I specialize in wedding hair and make-up, and pretty much love it.  This past summer I had 14 weddings, most of which were VIP and hugely exhausting.  I was so looking forward to a vacation after all my weddings.  It never happened.  Not a real one anyway with toes in the sand and margaritas!  So back to yesterday, I had a bride ALREADY, for fricking SEPT 24, 2011....OMFG.  I was so not ready.  My kit was a mess, my hair was a mess, totally not prepared.  I am still getting over this last wedding season!  Ha ha...not funny!  Anyway, as you can tell I was over yesterday before it even started.  The appointment went flawlessly (of course!)  but my day continued downhill.  I received three calls, yup, 3 ~ from a wedding planner trying to accommodate her bride's appt for Thursday (tomorrow).  The bride wanted to go skiing so was wondering if  I could come in on my day off to accommodate her.  NO!  She is still coming tomorrow.  After all the bridal hub-lub, guess what happened again for the 452nd time this month.  Our water went out.  Yep that's right, 5 stylists, 5 clients, and fucking freezing cold water, everyone was looking at ME.  Like i'm a plumber.  OMG.  Deep breath.  I called the property manger for the 208th time this week and told him the water went out, AGAIN!  An hour later they showed up, and as my husband was in the back snooping around, they realized the people working next door (a story for another day) had turned off a breaker which was "somehow?" connected to my hot water heater.  And consequently shorted the whole thing out, AGAIN!  I'm talking endless problems people.  Unbelievable.  I said, "fix it, and your not leaving till it's fixed!"  He says, "ok, we're changing everything out, it should be fine."  Psssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  It worked for literally six minutes, I timed it!  I called him again, even more pissed and after a glass of Chardonnay that one of my lovely clients must have known I needed.  Long story kind of shortened, they were there at 6am this morning.  It better work tomorrow.  I repeat, it better work tomorrow!
