My answer to everything lately has been “Because I’m 5″. At least I’m getting younger.
The 12 or so year old neighbor girl pissed me off (also known as hurt my feelings a little bit) a couple of weeks ago and because I’m 5 I opened the door and told her she could stop cutting through my yard. Loudly.
Her mother caught me outside yesterday and insisted on (trust me, I tried to get away) talking to me about us moving. Because I’m 5 I told her what her daughter had done and also told her that I yelled at her kid because I’m 5. Her daughter told her it wasn’t her, but I set mom straight. Really, I was to the point that I could’ve let it all go (I had to work hard at that because I can hold a grudge, even against a tween *sigh*) but then something else happened and it got me going again so tattle on the kid I did. Because I’m 5.
Someone came back for a 2nd look at the house and I got my hopes up because I’m 5. I also bought more decorating magazines (I had to go somewhere while people were looking at the house and Borders is where I happened to land) than I needed to but I’m sure a 5 year old couldn’t afford what I spent. Thinking positive by planning on decorating the next house, see? I also bought knitting magazines. I got an email from Borders this morning saying that because I’d spent so freaking much in the month of March (Hi, it’s only the 4th) that I get a 10% off shopping day. I could’ve used that before I spent that much money on mags. Now I have to buy more. Bummer.
Same people came back again today without their kids (3rd times a charm? Please!) and I did a happy dance because I’m 5. (First day was mom and small children. Second day was to bring the hubby to look.) I’ve probably jinxed any chance of an offer with the happy dance. Add the magazine overload and I’m double jinxed. Then I will cry because I’m 5.
I’m bored with the blanket. I’m sure it’s because I’m 5. Play with a toy for a little bit and get bored.
I could go on with more because I’m 5 stories but I think I’ve bored you enough for today.
