May 21

I had a pretty good day. I accomplished a lot of things at work that have been going on for a while, and that felt good. The day slowly slumped into crap, though. Robin came home from her 8th grade field trip in a good mood, but that got erased when she had to set the table (TWO DAYS IN A ROW). It became even worse when she had to clean up Pinot’s excrement in the dining room. And then Billy was in a bad mood because the poop wasn’t cleaned up, and Christina was in a bad mood because… who even knows. And I tried really hard to stay positive in all this, but even I got sucked into the vortex and ended up royally pissed off and finally decided to call it a night. I went to the bedroom at 9:00 to listen to the Yankees game by myself, which I think also pissed Billy off, but whatever. That’s the trend tonight.
