I HATE WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I'll admit that I'm a negative person, but lately, I have good reason to be. It seems that every winter that goes by is worse than the previous one. Let's see, this one started out with three snowstorms within one week. I finally get ownership of my grandmother's car, but they couldn't put the windshield in because the temperature was too cold. GRRRR! So, I wait until Monday morning and they get the windshield in and all. Then, the damn car won't start. It takes me half an hour of charging it with my old car's battery just top get it to start. All fine and dandy...no biggie. I figured it was because the car had been sitting for so long. So, I go to DMV to register the car and I can't register because it's signed in the wrong spot by the wrong person @@ so finally, yesterday, I get the car on the road and drive it to work. I get out of work late. This is New Year's Eve mind you. My son wanted me to watch the ball drop with him. Personally, I was looking forward to the end of 2008. It was the worst year of life, EVER. And I was hoping 2009 would be a good year but it started off horribly. I got out of work at 11:45pm figuring I had just enough time to get home and watch the ball drop with Andrew. Nope. My grandmother's car doors were frozen shut and I couldn't get in so I had to take a cab home...on New Year's Eve. I figured I would have to wait at least an hour for a cab. Nope. I thought some good things were in sight when he said that someone would be there "right away". So, I go outside and as I walk to the road I see the cab heading my way going as fast as can be almost passing me by. I put my hand out and wave...and wave...and he finally stops and says, "Well geez, come out to the road so I can see you!" (I should have taken the hint then that this guy was on something and just walked home). I was practically in the middle of the road! Anyway, it normally takes 10 minutes for me to drive from work to home...and that's when the roads are in decent shape. We had a snowstorm. The roads were horrible. I think I made it home last night in 30 seconds flat. This asshole drove 50mph through city streets. AND, he had a cigarette in his mouth...illegal and banned in cabs in New York State a few years ago. I stepped out of the car nauseated---literally. By the time I get home, it's 12:15pm. So much for bringing the New Year in on a good note. Anyway, I drive the Nissan to work today and try to drive my Grandmother's car home, but the doors are still frozen shut. Oh yeah, Winter is just the best!!! @@ Then I finally get one door open and I climb in and the battery is dead. Great. So, I get the battery charged and drive home, only to discover that I am missing my house keys. GREAT! All the way back to work for those. They aren't there. Now, I have lost the keys to my Grandmother's car that has the remote starter on them. I think I lost them at the hospital yesterday when I was there. And now, I've lost my house keys. I had them at work, who knows where they are! And now, I'm gonna get a great big old $100 bill from my landlord for making maintenance unlock my door at midnight. I guess all of this a is a sign that this year is going to be worse than last year. This is absolutely ridiculous. I've been home for over an hour now and my fingers are still frozen and one of them is bleeding. Love winter????????????? Screw that. I'm sick of this crap. If I had the opportunity to get the heck out of NY and move somewhere warm, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Screw my kids' father. There's a reason he doesn't have custody and me moving out of state would just prove what a crummy father he is. No decent parent would let their child move out of state or move out of state without their child! Believe me, I know. My father got custody of me and my sister. When mom doesn't have custody of her kids, something is very very wrong with that picture!!!!!
