Doesnt everyone eat cookies in the bathroom so they can hide from their kids?

I cant decide if im PMS-ing or just in a realllllllllllly bad mood.orrrrrrrrrrr could it be that my medicine isnt working? I am trying very hard to be happy,i even,as i type,am subjecting my entire family to loud Christmas music :)

Mostly im unhappy about free agency.. its way over rated. I was just fine with it until my kids started figuring how to use it against me...The college age kidlet is happily flaunting her new found 'free agency' since she now has none of those silly rules like curfews,chores etc.
Now,my youngest child has decided she MUST paint her room. Never mind that this same child has a life size fairy tree painted in her room with beautiful fairies flying in it.. no no ... she wants it pink. So i finally give in cos after all i have nothing else to do right.

Dh takes her to get paint,this was my first mistake. Michaela is now helping paint her room the most disgusting color of pink ive ever seen in my life.Thankfully they arent painting over the fairy tree but the whole room looks like a bottle of pepto bismal exploded! I had to leave the room and go sit in the bathroom until i could control the not-so-nice comments running through my head.
5 cookies and a bottle of diet coke later,ive calmed down enough to keep my mouth shut.. but as a precaution i thought id just come and whine to the entire world..

Lets move on to the male brain,oh wait, we didnt leave it .. HE let her get that putrid color lol. Dh was at the store and i asked him to get the premade cookie dough (you know,the kind you bake and tell your neighbors its a family recipe).
I envisioned us all cutting out cookies and decorating them like a big happy family,ok ok ok i thought id take a few pictures cos it would look great in the family scrapbook!

So i go talk to a whiney neighbor for what should have been 5 mins and ended up being 5 weeks.. ok 20 mins. I come back and i see lots of darkish brown round cookies with Santa's stamped inthe middle. I ask DH why he didnt wait for me so we could all do it.. the answer? ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i didnt know you wanted to MAKE cookies,i thought you just wanted the house to smell good!!????!!!!! .

This day is not going the way i planned it.It was supposed to be the happy Mormon family putting out the decorations while listening to heartwarming Christmas music!

Id like to resign my position as mother and wife and run away on a cruise.I even thought about sleeping the day away in hopes that tomorrow would be better but guess what?the pug is lounged across my bed nursing ITS CAT!
Lucy the pug has never had babies(she had a date once but the boy pug wasnt impressed)Shes sorta built like a small tank and snorts,farts and burps right along with the rest of the boys in this house.
The wierd thing is she has always wanted to mother the other animals and even has her very own teddy bear. So,along came our baby kitty George,who belongs to the college kidlet(the dorms wont allow pets or George would be at college too).

The kitty only has one brain cell and started nursing on Lucy.. of course there was no milk but i guess it was a comfort thing and Lucy didnt seem to mind .Then,after about two weeks we noticed our pug had UDDERS! and ever since then our dog nurses our cat several times a day lol. The vet howled with laughter and assured me that although its rare it does happen and as long as they both like it,its fine.

How about the fact that its just plane WEIRD?or how about trying to explain it when the hometeachers come over?!? Im beginning to think my entire house is insane and im the only sane person here. So anyways,no laying down for me.

Stephen(15) just informed me that he will die unless i buy him pink converse tennis shoes......I told him id miss him.
Its Sunday so its not like i can escape anywhere.We didnt even go to church cos im still sick,dh sounded like he was hacking up a lung and two of the other kids have colds.

I considered putting up more Christmas lights but then realised i can only break the sabbath when no one can see-hence dh at the store earlier.It was for medicinal purposes so i dont feel too bad.
Oh joy,the college age child just called and is coming for dinner.. she must need to do her laundryI suppose that means i should actually get off the computer and be domestic

Okay...PINK Converses? Why pink? Inquiring minds want to know (Jenn and me, actually). :)
