Can I use this space to turn my attitude around? Let’s see!
1. Yesterday’s late afternoon Dr. Pepper was last night’s fretful tossing and turning is this morning’s total lack of energy and motivation. I think I’d rather just sit in this chair and ruminate, thankyouverymuch.
2. So agitated with myself for getting so agitated that the booster seat was not left at school for Henry’s field trip this morning. You would have thought it was the end of modern life as we know it. Wow I did not handle that well. And, as it turns out!, it was total miscommunication on my part. I figured if I thought obsessively about leaving the booster, my husband would just pick up on those brainwaves I was sending. The way it works, see, is you have to actually SAY the words, let them come out of your MOUTH.
3. Isabel just threw a Nerf gun at me. Some things never change.
4. Well hey, somehow my brain just decided to focus on something positive and awesome! Our boy Ethan led music at First Friday Mass at our gym this morning. Unfortunately I missed it (oh, back to frustrating…) because it was too much to get the whole crew out the door at 7am with field trip involved. But Paul said he did great. Proud Mama, right here!
Thanks to my sweet friend Co who thought to take a picture!
5. Do you ever marvel at some of the dumb things you do? I’ve been going to one of those bakery cafes to work, and the menu flat out overwhelms me. I stand there and can’t ever even SEE the words and usually just pull something out of the air. Imagine, then, my great surprise to look down yesterday and discover I was eating a tuna sandwich and a bowl of chili. At TEN IN THE MORNING.
6. My house is trashed. Like, outrageous. I enjoy the challenge (so this one is a wash).
7. This post was lame. But I feel BETTER.
Hi Jen! Praying for these last weeks of your pregnancy to fly by!
Having the same kind of morning!
I like this post. This was my Wednesday.
Thank you for posting this, seriously! I don’t know if it’s cabin fever from the cold spell we are having but I have been spending days just sitting around watching the young’ins trash the house. This has been my week. I just called my brother to try and turn my rut around. (Feel bad calling hubby when I’m like this because it frustrates him that he can’t just solve the problem). My brother always makes me laugh so hard that I snap out of it by the time I hang up. Thank you, Rachel for posting reality so often! I need to stay off of Facebook. It’s deceiving.
It’s all awesome, but the subtlety of number 3 made it quite perfect.
I think you should make this a link-up today. Except I’d look like a jerk since I just posted yesterday on gratitude and all that. Adding to my foul mood is that all I want is a meat sandwich with a side of meat. Thanks for the ‘should be trademarked ‘ phrase. Off to attempt to act like an adult AND a Christian for the second half of the day
Um, #2? Yeah, that happened around here on Wednesday, except it involved grape juice. Thank goodness they love us.
I needed this, thanks Rachel! My week is very much like this and an 18 year old who believes I create rules to destroy his life on top of it – oh joy (no worries, he is a good kid and will be fine in a few days, logic and 18 do not go well together for him though).
I hope your weekend is refreshing!
