• I don't feel like a very loving mother right now.

  If SOMEONE wants me to stop singing to my iPod, which I'm only doing because she'd prefer not to converse and I need to do something active to stay awake while I'm driving, she should make certain that I hear her soft-spoken request.  Perhaps I don't hear her since I'm listening to music on my iPod.  It's not as though the iPod is on so loud that I can't hear the noise of the traffic; I never play it too loudly to hear a voice at normal volume.

  Also, no matter how sorry I feel that SOMEONE who is temporarily having unpleasant side effects from a medication, I deserve some sympathy, too.  After sitting in the car for two days (in order to fetch SOMEONE home for spring break), my sciatica pain is back.  Plus, I didn't sleep well last night either, probably because of the strange bed and the fact that the pain in my hands which apparently developed from gripping the steering wheel all day woke me up and kept me from falling asleep anytime soon afterwards.  And, no matter how miserable the car ride today may have made SOMEONE, she should realize that I had to travel twice as much as she did.

  Devoted readers, part of me is sorry to complain so much.  However, The Professor is at a conference in Boston, and I need to blow off some steam or I might explode.

  I so hope tomorrow is better.
