I am grumpy this morning. However, I'm going to refrain from dumping my grumpiness into the blogosphere, because...well, I don't really see the point right now. All that might accomplish is spreading more grumpiness, and if you are not grumpy right now, I don't want to infect you with my grumpiness. 🙂 Besides, I already… Continue reading Grumpy
UGH. Well, I could have predicted this... that after a busy/full weekend right up until the very end, with zero prep for the week done, my 1st day back might be kind of a crummy day. Nothing BAD bad. Just kind of a yuck day. Might as well get it off my chest, so here… Continue reading Negative Nelly Wednesday
I seriously debated not writing a post this morning because I am CRABBY. Went to bed crabby, woke up crabby. Dang it. Was hoping it would magically disappear while I slept. Why am I crabby, you may ask? That is an excellent question. I am crabby because my evening last night didn't go exactly the… Continue reading Using “the happiness equation” to solve my crabby mood
The other day (on the day of my watermelon explosion, to be precise), I decided that I was going to try to address an issue with someone about something that had been bothering me. I thought (mistakenly) that just being direct about it might be better than stewing in silence. I thought (also mistakenly) that this… Continue reading Thumper’s Golden Rule
I ended up missing my blogging window yesterday morning, thanks to a watermelon.Yes, a watermelon ruined my morning yesterday. Hmph. I have a pretty bad habit of buying large fruit items that require chopping and then letting them sit on the counter for many days before actually getting up the gumption to spend 10 minutes slicing/dicing/chopping/storing… Continue reading A strange household disaster
Today is the day! The kids go back to school today. Crazy. Hard to believe that the last time they set foot in school for actual "school" purposes was Thursday, March 12th. We left for Mexico that afternoon and picked them up early from school. Who would have thought that they wouldn't be going back until… Continue reading Worry
Wish I were sitting back here this morningTGIF.Since I changed jobs a few years ago and generally feel much happier with my work/life balance and my job overall, I don’t typically dread the workweek or count down until it's over. So I don’t really embrace the whole “TGIF” thing too much.But today, TGIF. This week… Continue reading Parenting Fatigue. TGIF.
Feeling a bit…..something this morning. Not exactly sure what. Sort of a mix between overwhelmed and frustrated. Maybe a touch of anxious and…irritable? I don’t even know. I feel conflicted, too. About several different things.The weekend was awesome- truly, as you saw in my post yesterday, Ethan’s birthday was such a highlight. But I did… Continue reading Dilemmas
I'm cranky right now. That's about all I can say to sum it up. I have just been tired in general lately, despite a great weekend. I've gotten to bed too late too many nights recently and I'm paying for it now.Also, I made the mistake of lying in bed when my alarm went off… Continue reading Don’t Worry About A Thing
Well, things sure change fast sometimes. I had a great weekend- that fun yet productive summer day and night on Saturday, and then a sort of lazier day yesterday filled with a good amount of relaxing time, Chipotle for lunch, a couple of TV shows, catching up on some work out on the deck and… Continue reading Why Complain
