I'm grumpy for no apparent reason right now. I want to read a book, but I don't really want to go back a finish the one I started before I picked up the last book I read. I also don't feel like reading anything that's on my shelf right now. Can't go get any new books until after payday on Friday.
I want to work on a fox cub plush I recently "bought" but I don't have a thread that is the right color for sewing it together. The orange is too bright and the brown is too dark. I don't really want to have to buy any thread either because that involves going to the craft store (once again after payday) since my Wal-Mart is stupid and doesn't have a sewing department (or carry craft paints). They also don't carry cross-stitch supplies. They do however carry yarn for crochet. WTF is up with that? Nothing against crochet, but WTH are they going to carry those supplies and not the rest of the sewing related craft supplies? Oh and I need stuffing for the little guy.
I have to take Gavin clothes shopping this weekend as he's outgrown all his long-sleeve shirts and pajamas (except for one of each). He also needs a new jacket. It's nice that he's finally outgrowing some things, but did it have to be all of it at the same time? At least today/tonight is the major cold day of the week so he can wear pants with short-sleeve shirts and a jacket until we can get some new clothes. I'm not looking forward to him trying things on this weekend. He tends to lean all over me rather than standing up on his own.
I really ought to get back to work on some Paint-Your-Owns that I have, but I just can't seem to get up the gumption to. I get discouraged sometimes looking at how beautiful some of the other Windstone forum folks can paint their pieces and my pieces look childish in comparison.
I'm not looking forward to shopping for Christmas presents this year. I have lots of ideas for hubby and a few for Gavin, but I have no idea what to tell anyone to get me. I'd ask for books or movies, but family always ignores those suggestions. Other than that there's nothing I really want or need.
I've been having a hard time falling asleep the last few nights. I toss and turn for hours before I actually fall asleep. I think it's adding to the grumpiness. Some nights it's because my mind is racing, others it's because I can't get comfortable. I wonder what tonight is going to be.
*Pauses to think if there is anything else to gripe about* I think that's about got it for now. *Glances at the clock* Damn it. It's still too early for me to go to bed. Now what am I going to do for the next hour or so?
