Dark Little Cloud

Dark Little Cloud: 2 meanings

1. I recently told a few friends/family members that Matt and I stayed home this past weekend to recover from our previous weekend trip to Vegas. I also mentioned to my cousin, Hayley, that it was probably a good thing I stayed home because I was kind of in a funky mood on Saturday/Sunday. Told her I was "doing the world a favor... one less fit at a time." She replied that she would love to see one of my pregnancy fits. I informed her that she missed the first major one last night: I was trying to watch House on TV, and the signal from our bunny ears kept going out (we don't have cable). I was so irritated and started getting so pissy. I was yelling at the TV and pounded on the sofa cushion a couple of times. It wasn't so funny last night (I think the big vein popped out of my forehead!), but in retrospect, I'm SURE I looked absolutely ridiculous. Thank you pregnancy hormones for making me look, feel and behave incredibly silly. (Matt was smart to leave the vicinity. I was acting crazy, and I'm pretty sure Takota thought I was crazy. My puppy looked up at me and probably wondered who I was for a minute.) Bad dark little cloud.

2. Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. It's cold and raining again! And it's supposed to be cold and rainy all week long! I know we need the rain (and I am thankful we are getting it), but seriously... can't we have a break of warm sunshine amidst the dark little clouds?
