Mama Said There Would Be Days Like This

Everyone has 'em. The type of day where you want to go back to bed and start all over. Or, just simply go back to bed. Even though I know those days are typical.....they can still throw me for a loop. A downward spiral...if you will.

For me, a day gone bad would have something to do with parenting....or schooling. I am fairly hard on myself.....and sometimes expect too much{of myself and my boys}. If my boys have bad attitudes or they start to bicker....it can squelch any sun trying to shine through. That's not fair to me....or to them. We all mess up.....we all need attitude adjustments {sometime or another}....and we all have off days.

So, when things started spiralling downward today......I tried to .......keep calm and carry on. Literally.

And I made brownies.

I also gave myself a small list of things to get done. I know myself....and my self needs to feel like I've accomplished something.....anything....on a daily basis. Now, that could simply mean plucking my eyebrows....anything.

I switched our gas and electric.....broke down the boys computer {early, but necessary}.....and did laundry. There were other things, but those were my list things. I'm counting down the days.....and getting myself all kinds of excited....and hopeful. I'm sitting here with my grand ideas again....and thinking too much about everything.

Thoughts about the past year and our crazy move will be put to pen soon. Because I guarantee I've learned a few things this past year.

And made a lot of brownies.
