I woke up in a terrible mood and didn’t want to get out of bed. Last night before I went to bed my husband said I could sleep in. He said he’s get up and make breakfast and take care of the kids.
He’s sick today!
It’s not his fault and I’m not mad at him, I’m just upset because I wanted my day off. Or morning off rather. My kids felt my grumpiness and just mirrored it back onto me which made my morning even more grumpy.
Finally, Zoe said I want to go to the park and with the sunshine outside I thought what a great idea. I ran upstairs and got dressed and by the time I was dressed the kids were yelling, pushing and grumpy again and no one wanted to go outside. Ooooohhh.
I’m at my breaking point, wanting to pull out my hair and scream, so I just popped in a movie, (hit play on the DVR) and we sat and waited for daddy to feel better. It wasn’t until snack time around 10 AM that everyone felt like going outside again. So we went to the park and I think my day has turned around.
Zoe played outside until lunch time and Miles had to go back home with Daddy to take a nap, but now they are both down and we’ll see how the afternoon goes. It can only get better.
My Plans:
Go to Home Depot and Michaels for Room Decorating Ideas
Go back to the park and blow more bubbles
Go to the grocery store and pick up a loaf of bread, gravy and black olives.
It can only get better from here.
Oh I know how you felt, once the grumpiness sets in in can be a challenge to shake it off. Sometimes I just have to force myself to smile as I’ve heard it releases endorphins or something like that and make myself change course. I hope your day improved and that your DH is feeling better also.
