Yesterday was a really crappy day. A just down right rotten miserable day. It was a lot of little things that just seemed to eat away at my mood. Homer eating the veggies, then Andrew waking up "sick" but wasn't really sick he was avoiding school (though I didn't figure it out until about noon), Lauren being sassy and mouthy, arguments with my mom... then with my dad in the afternoon too, feeling like Jacob was treating me like a doormat. Ugh.
I tried to take the couple of hours in the afternoon that I have kid-free and use it to improve my mood. Didn't work. I just sat, trying to finish off my book club book, and working on a little knitting. Double Ugh. The need to be working on laundry or doing dishes was nagging at the back of my thoughts.
Everyone has those days. The ones where nothing.goes.right. Sometimes those days can be overcome, but sometimes not. All I can do is wake up today, take a deep breath, and face today knowing it can be better then yesterday.

I hear you - I had "one of those days" yesterday too. Like I tell my kids, tomorrow is another day (Scarlett O'Hara!). Hope you feel better today.
I am so sorry to hear that Kerry! But you are right...everyone has those days. It never helps when it is drizzling all day. Yesterday was one such day around here...
My signature quote helps me combat this...I was tired of people telling me vacuously to "Have a great day!" What if it just isn't? This always puts it in perspective for me...
"Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day." ~ A. Nonymous (don't you just love her?)
Now...I find that there really is "something good" and I actively seek it out and recognize it when it does come. Just a little perspective is all it takes.
And that is why I always end every communications with....
Enjoy the day, Kerry!

Kerry, I have been having a few of those days myself lately. I found a really good song that I've been listening to that is putting a little perspective on things... do you listen to Natasha Bedingfield? If you don't, try to find this song online and listen to the words... it's called "Happy"! I'm kind of using it as my theme song to get me out of my funk lately. There's a lot of stuff going on that ruins your mood, but in the grand scheme of things there are so many things to be HAPPY about! Try to focus on those. I am! It may just be a good "Dance it out" song. Is it time for the tu tu to come out and play again? :)
I know those days. I hope today is better!
i had one of those days too- BIG TIME. it started out so good, then just went to crap. But my today is better, I hope yours is too!
BTW, I LOVE that yarn.
My day sucked the big one yesterday.
So what's the Book Club book this month Kerry?
Hey Kerry
Me with my late night comments! Sorry you had a rotten day. Shoulda called me and complained..I would have listened! I know where you're coming from. I like your new project...the style and color! What is the book club reading now?
Thanks for the love ladies!
Michele ~ Book Club just finished The Thirteenth Tale for last night and now we are starting A Thousand Slendid Suns.
Splendid I mean... A Thousand Splendid Suns.
I know those days too! And I usually get them after completing a big order or a big craft show. Maybe partly a tiredness funk after all the hard work you've been putting into the book?
Hope today is a better day for you.

The fact that you were able to do something creative -- like knitting -- it astounding!
Can't wait to hear what you think of that book. I actually liked it better than The Kite Runner, probably because I could relate to the main characters better since they were women.
