Day 153: Seriously, some people just have bad luck!

Do you ever feel totally helpless? Things just spiraling out of your control and no matter how you wrack your brain, you can't do anything but sit and watch it happen? Today was one of those days and it really takes a toll you. Sometimes those situations where you have to MacGuyver your way out of a sticky spot can be almost fun, kind of an adrenaline high. But today, already riding a wave of exhaustion and frustration, it just knocked me down and left me not wanting to get up. When will I feel like I'm NOT beating my head against a wall as I strive to do the best I can? This is the happiest time of the freaking year, a time I tend to shoot out red and green ribbon every time I walk I'm so damn cheerful over it, and I keep getting Grinched. I need to pull a wishbone or crack a fortune cookie or find a penny or something...I'm willing my luck to turn around!
