Yep, it's not just me. It's the general feeling.

Grr...to February
My mom and I have a theory. Ever wondered what moron decided to make the months all have a different number of days? Especially February. They all stick with 30 or 31 and then here comes February struting along with 28 days. Seriously? How unorganized as that. (And I'm sure any OCD readers are going to completely understand what I mean...)
So here's our theory: One pivotal February when I was in high school I just knew the answer. February only has 28 days for a reason. It was done completely on purpose. It had to have been. Because I am not kidding when I say how strongly believe how suicide rates would go up dramatically if we had to go to 29 more than once every four years, and getting to day 30 or 31 in February? It would kill the majority of the population.
Think about it. Have you felt a little down lately and not known for sure why? Have you been a little irritable? Annoyed? Stressed? Busier than normal and just wish you could find a way to get your life back? Have you been looking for a cause to your bad moods or saddened dispositions? If so, I'm here with the answer. IT'S FEBRUARY!
I'm serious. I was talking to my mom while driving yesterday and were discussing how rotten we were feeling about everything when *bang* it hit me. Duh, it's the blasted month with 28 days. It's the curse of all curses. I even woke up the morning of the 1st of February awaiting the dump of the awful month and since then and now had completely forgotten, yet felt the ominous presence of February unconsciously. It's sneaky like that. Creeping up on you and biting you right in the butt.
Now, I'm not saying that nothing good happens in February, (although I don't like Valentine's day for everything except for the chocolate that goes on sale afterward and the kid valentine cards that are just great), because I know some great people with birthdays in February, (love ya Nan, Julie, Danielle, and Erica. Who knew so many of my friends were born in February? :), and they add some cheer to the otherwise dismal month, but still. Bleh. I mean, groundhogs day? He saw his dang shadow. More winter. wahoo.
Yuck. So I'm proposing that we band together against the month of February. Write your local and state officials a letter, collect signatures for petitions, raise the picket signs, and go on strike against February. We can beat this month! (or really, all I'm asking is to at least make it through alive!)
