One Of Those Days

It should have been a great day for us. Nobody was throwing up, the sun was shining, and it was more than warm enough for us to spend most of the day outside AND open up all the windows and get some fresh air in the house.

All good, right?

Unfortunately, though, I was a super cranky crabby jerk all day long. I was so short-tempered and snapping at everyone, and just felt so irritable. I hate days like that. I tried to pull myself out of it, but it just wouldn't go away. And then of course the more crabby I felt, the more mad I got at myself for being so crabby, and that just made me even crabbier. Ugh.

I think the stress of the past few days may have caught up with me. And I know that the fact that I've hardly worked out this week is contributing to my crabbiness.

Here's hoping that tomorrow will be a happier day, even if it isn't supposed to be quite as nice, weather-wise.

And in spite of my crankies, we did have an ok day. We went to the park in the morning, and stopped and got sandwiches on the way there, so that we could have a picnic lunch, which was nice. The weather was absolutely glorious. Warm enough for short sleeves, even!

And we headed out again after Dante's nap. Made a quick stop at the store to buy kites, and then to the green across from the beach to fly them. They flew their kites for about 3 minutes, and then ran over to the gazebo, found two coins on the sidewalk, and proceeded to play with those for the rest of the time we were there.

Boys are weird.

Oh, and I finally have my laptop back, but they had to reinstall the OS. I had done a backup relatively recently, so I didn't lose anything terribly important - just a couple of random files. But it's still a bit of a pain that I have to reinstall my Office software and stuff. But at least I know the computer is fixed, and it's nice to have it back.

Since I'm feeling a bit blah, I'll just wrap up with before and after pictures of Gabe's hair. I love how he's posing in the 'after' picture.

Every once in a while, Moms are allowed to be cranky :-) I admire you for working harder to keep it under control. That's what it's all about! Woot!!

Agreed with the above! It's hard to be pulled together day in and day out. . .so don't beat yourself up for having a bad one!
