Or have you noticed that everyone seems to be in a miserable mood lately too? Maybe its the mid winter blahs....who knows, but a lot of my Facebook peeps are using words like, cranky, crap, etc in their status lines, so I know I'm not alone in this.

On top of this crabby vibe everyone seems to have, I have been unable to get anything across to anyone lately without either being misunderstood, or seen as combative when I'm not intending to be at all.

The icing on this communication breakdown cake occurred earlier today when I inadvertently made my step-Dad cry, and in turn made him late to his eye doctor appointment by bringing up my Mom during what was supposed to be a simple phone call to make sure he was doing ok. No matter what I said to try to make him feel better, I just made things worse.

Ugh!

I think I'm going to lay low so to speak until the cranky storm passes.....
