I am cranky.
And I want to whine.
And I kind of thought that I was going to get the chance to do that tonight. I had a little red wine, some decent reality TV (it is, after all, Top Chef night!) and finally had the kids in bed. Laundry was put away. Laptop [...]
It’s been quite a week. I’m sure you’ve noticed the posts have been few and far between. I’m trying to get back on track… but darn, if it’s not hard.

The conversation went, more or less, something like this:
…but I don’t think they like me. I tried… but I think they just didn’t want to talk me.
