It's all About the Attitude...

...and yes, mine seems to be in the crapper. I was just writing a message to a friend, and realized that everything I started to type was just one bitch and moan after another, so I ended up stopping pretty much at "How are you?" I am not sure if it is because I have had a bad head cold, or because I am so behind in my household chores, or because I am so behind on what I want to get done for my business. Or because some days I spend almost 4 hours in the car transporting a kid, and he is only a freshman, so it is not likely to end anytime soon. Or maybe it is all of the above. What I do know, however, is that something has to give!

So today I will attempt to start pulling myself out of this mess. First, I am going to put a yummy dinner in the crockpot- pot roast with red skinned potatoes, carrots and onions. Then I will get my shower, catch up on bill paying and do as much house straightening as I can get done. That better be the extent of my to do list, as an overwhelming list is just grounds for more downward spiral!

Yes! Be sure to always do at least something for yourself every day, even if it's something small. Crockpot dinner sounds wonderful! :)

I wonder if it's the alignment of the stars... I've been feeling badly lately, and luckily, I have a place to rant and rave. Yesterday, it came to a head... today, I've got a headache, but at least I feel better. Good luck with your multiple lives, and don't feel badly about ranting. It's good for you. {:-Deb

Hahaha I know the feeling! Good luck with your to-do list! Buying a crock has been on mine for a while!

FlyLady says you are never behind, just jump in where you are! I still struggle with a lot of things but I try not to stress over it too much. :-)

Thanks, Ruth, I had sort of forgotten about FlyLady.

Hang in there - some days just start out in the crapper and the next day is much better. And I agree with storybeader that it is probably the alignment of the stars - a lot of people have been feeling really down lately.
