Fact: I have the day off tomorrow.
Fact: Natalie and I have plans to do the last of our Christmas shopping.
Fact: It's supposed to snow like crazy tomorrow.
*Sigh*
I've lived in New England my entire life, and I STILL don't know that I should never count on the weather to be nice when making plans.
So maybe I'll spend tomorrow wrapping the gifts I've already bought/made instead. Either way... a Friday off? Totally awesome.

Working with the public can be hazardous to my health
I have good news and bad news.
Bad news first:
I am so, so, SO tired of dealing with PEOPLE this week. Working in a public library, one is pretty much guaranteed with facing crazy people, angry people, and just plain annoying people on a daily basis. And today is my sixth day in a row of this. I'm at the point where if one more person comes to the desk and mumbles, "Computer," instead of the infinitely more polite, "May I use the computer, please?" I just might say something that will feel good in that moment, but that I'll eventually come to regret.
And now for the good news:
We are deep into the holiday season, and I am absolutely loving it this year. The kids have been a bit better behaved (after weeks of my 7 year old acting like she's 15, and my 5 year old forgetting that he knows how to hear, this is actually GREAT news), I've spent tons of time with my sisters, AND I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. Plus, all that goodness is not even counting the fact that I have a boyfriend who listens to me complain and nag, and who still tells me that he loves me no matter what. Sometimes I'm not sure what I did to deserve this life.
So I'll suck it up and be nice to the library patrons for the rest of the day. Because I could be a whole heck of a lot worse off.
