Reasons I Felt Like A Loser This Week

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You could also get new content delivered directly to your inbox. Thanks for stopping by!

Some weeks I seem to have the Sidam Touch. Why? Well let me tell you why. This week I:

  • could not get picture on living room wall to hang straight
  • managed to spatter hair coloring from floor to ceiling in bathroom
  • utterly failed to convince children that scooting along back of couch was unwise
  • watched this movie
  • twice
  • “lost” loaf of bread at back of fridge until it was blue with mold
  • didn’t notice that child’s blankie had been peed upon until beginning of nap-time
  • could not remember how to spell “disappointed”
  • had to discipline child approximately 17 million times for pulling sister’s hair
  • idly wondered (for 20 straight minutes) if cable-tie on computer cord would make serviceable cock ring
  • planted self in front of twelve-hour Law and Order marathon and did not move
  • except for nap
  • er…naps

In short, I suck.

I’m wondering if it’s time to re-evaluate the amount of negative self-talk in which I seem to indulge. Or, more troubling, if my medication is beginning to peter out on me.

Either way, something needs to change and fast.

I am the most incurably lazy devil that ever stood in shoe leather -
that is, when the fit is on me, for I can be spry enough at times.

LOL

The movie things kills me because I do that ALL the time.

Psst. AAG. You’re supposed to watch Vol.1 then Vol. 2, not Vol. 2 twice.

Oh, and the cable tie as cock ring? This works great, just put the fuzzy side in. The plastic hooks chafe.

Or so I’ve been told.

I know, but Vol 2 is much better.

:)

Dear, you’ve told us that you suck. Vigorously and with much passion. Both in the telling and in the sucking. And that your style of sucking is greatly appreciated.

But I know how you feel otherwise, including the medication. Serious anxiety paralysis here. sigh.

You know whats great for curing depression/low mood in general? Sex.
But you probably knew that.

I think you need to try playing games on your cell phone for three or four hours at a time before you can really call yourself a loser. ;)

AAG,

my separated Mrs. recently told me that I was strong for keeping our kids together while she was out midlife-crisising. (No, I didn’t believe her, but maybe she had a point.) If your kids are fed and loved (no particular order) you are doing what you need to. Stay strong.

P.S. Uma Thurman makes everyone feel like a loser. Just remember that she’s superhero, and you’re a REAL hero.

I don’t see any downside to forgetting how to spell “disappointed”. In fact it would be great if it disappeared all together.

We all go off-line occasionally. I’ve done just that for the ten minutes since reading your posting.

Your quote about Holmes reminded me that Dr. Watson is said to have played Rugby for the club that’s about half a mile from where I live. That sent me to Wikipedia to read about Watson where I saw the quote, “Quickly Watson, get your service revolver!” In no time I was reading up about the different pistols issued to troops all over the world in the 20th century.

And yes, I do have some mprtant stuff to get on with ;o)

What? Law and Order marathons are awesome. Besides, they play one so often, its almost humanly impossible to turn on a tv and NOT see one.

Add a firey car crash and maybe an earthquake or two and you’ve got one of my typical days.

Well, at least you don’t have a life where the high point of your day is when your Tauren on World of Warcraft completes an especially difficult quest and learns the spell, “Aspect of the Monkey.”

Welcome to my world.

N.

Oh honey, we all go through little funks where we are less productive and more negative. It will be short lived I’m sure.

I used a cock ring to pull my hair back once. Wore it all day at work. Everyone commented on how cute it was….

Trust me, darlin’, all that ’tis nothing compared to some of the weeks I have. Nothing at all.

Do something nice for yourself. It might help you feel better.

Damn, if that’s what it takes to be a loser, I must REALLY suck at life. Seriously, it’s the norm, married or unmarried. I can’t say that my life is really that different since I’ve been divorced other than he’s just not around. Pretty much everything else stayed the same. Still, if this is sucking at life, I’ll take it.

Sounds like you just had an off weekend. It happens sometimes.

You can’t let it get you down though, full speed ahead!

You can always tell when you are in a depressed mood because you start looking for tiny things that normally go unnoticed and fixate on them as if they were a big pattern.

You might think of changing up your habits, take a sick day and take the kids to the beach where they can run and play and you don’t have to be so careful. Take them to the mountains, or the zoo or wherever, go to the spa and get a bunch done, etc. .. just break up your routine and spend a whole day recharging.

Holy crap! I did the hair dye thing last week.

Hmmmm tie-wraps?

Cable-tie as a cock-ring? Nooooooo! They have sharp edges and you would need some sort of cutting implement to get it off. There are very few people on this earth that I would trust with a cutting implement in the vicinity of my cock.

There is NOTHING wrong with a Law and Order marathon.

Unless it makes one miss work/school.

And even then it’s not terrible. Unless you’ve seen all of the episodes before.

I don’t like to toss platitudes at people, but yes, you do need to stop with the negative self-talk. If you can’t, wellll…maybe yes, assessing the meds might be good.

Ahhhh… Murphy came to visit, eh? You don’t suck. You do, however, need to work on realizing how wonderful you are. For every negative, find the positive. Seriously. If it has a negative, it has a positive and you can usually make a game out of it. Knowing that you are on meds, you may want to talk to the dr. about it on your next appointment. Until then…. make it positive. Thus:

Picture wants to be crooked, let it be crooked. You’ll catch it unawares sometime. Sneak up on it.
Use the hair color as an excuse to paint the bathroom some color the ex never wanted and you always did (if applicable). Let the kids fingerpaint the walls. Have a Bathroom Redecoration Party.
Nothing wrong with watching a movie twice. Really. Usually means it’s a good movie.
Penicillin! I do this too. Pitch it, forget it. Usually, you’ll have replaced it before finding it. No huhu. It’s biodegradable, and it may introduce new fungi into the landfill to help the breakdown process.
dictionary.com.
Kids will be kids. The hair will be pulled. Run the end game and teach sister how to pull back. Disciplined child will learn it’s not nice to pick on sister.
Yes, yes it will…as does yarn, hair ties, twisties (twisted together), all sorts of stuff. Basically, if it can be put around and tightened, it can be used. Just make sure you have a plan for quick removal (scissors, snips, something like that).
Naps are a mother’s best friend. My mom was kinda pissed when my little sister went to kindergarten. She lost her excuse for an afternoon nap.

***hugs***

I’d say if you’ve noticed the negative self-talk, it’s probably time to evaluate. But it’s a good sign that you’ve noticed.

Also a good sign - you’re loving yourself enough to dye your hair. And your floor. And ceiling. ;-)

~~~happy thoughts to you~~~

Nah seems pretty normal to me…. but maybe I’m all screwed as well…

Oh and the cable tie thing. The velcro ones work pretty well. And they come in different colors. But since they are somewhat “prickily” put a condom over them. Somebody told me this once.

Sorry for my lack of commenting… my fingers haven’t been feeling well.

I love Law & Order marathons. I am so there.

I could take a hammer to the picture for you. That’d teach it.

“Disappointed” is spelled s-m-a-l-l-c-o-c-k.

There. Two of your problems solved.

You guys are SO FLIPPING HELPFUL!

Howsabout you all come over some weekend and solve all my lil problems for me? I could have a crew in the basement, another on the roof…a dozen of you could knock out the painting I need to do in about two hours!

And then…I’ll feed everyone pizza for lunch!

And someone can paint my toenails!

And then we’ll have a slumber party!

How’s the second weekend in April look for everyone?

Awesome! I have never seen someone quote Sir A. C. Doyle before! Especially a quote from Sherlock Holmes! Are you a big fan of Holmes?
I sure am. …I never even thought of quoting him before. I am going to have to read the enitre works again… and this time… remember some quotes!
