My mom wants to know why I'm not staying through Monday this weekend. I was considering it before I found out she's taking over child care for my nieces starting Monday. I need to find a polite lie rather than tell her that I'm a terrible person who doesn't want to spend all day helping her babysit two toddlers and a baby.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My job can kiss my ass so hard right now. No one has gotten back to me on anything all week, and suddenly this afternoon there's all this shit that I have to deal with, and I don't want to! I am on vacation in four minutes! Except not really, of course, because I need to talk to my boss, and she is on the phone. Fuck everyone.
Except of course I am grateful to have a job......

There's something very urgent you have to do in your apartment. Paint, or repair something.

Because books.
shrift, dear, that's a sensible person.
Jesse, I feel the same way about grateful for a job. And yet, I want to strangle everyone I work with.

Oh Amy, your job is way worse than mine! Mine is actually good, just annoying today.

I totally can blame work. I'm starting a new job soon! I have, uh, meetings! Stuff that prevents me from getting up at the crack of dawn in a different time zone to deal with small children.

You suspect you may be coming down with something and don't want to infect the dear children.

Mine may actually be getting better, but I'm a little afraid to hope.

I'm already getting up early on a Sunday morning to go to church. What more do they want from me.
