Not a Happy Day

Before I get ranting and raving, I have to remind myself that yesterday with Ember was a very good day. We had a lot of fun. There were kids at the park with whom she could play. We had brought bubbles and a ball, and they are always a hit. When it was time to leave, she protested only mildly – always a plus!! She fell asleep immediately when she got in her toddler bed, and when she woke up, we took some “juuuuuce” and a snack out on the front porch to wait for daddy to come home.

That was yesterday.. and now to my rant and rave.

Every once in a while, life gets out of sync. I’m glad it doesn’t happen often with me, but when it does, I get very sensitive and then downright bitchy. This is the way I am today.

The plans I had in my head as to how to spend today have gone out the window. I wanted to stay home, do household chores, read a little bit, knit on the baby blanket and spend some time on the computer.

Also, right now, because of a certain situation that I won’t go into here, I can’t even go downstairs to take a shower. Pissed… I am pissed... and as the saying goes, “When momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy,” and that’s the way it is.

Life can be busy here in town. Things just happen, and I often forget that being Ron’s wife means that my plans are often circumvented by these things.

So here I sit at the computer, feeling a bit sorry for myself but mostly angry at the situation that prevents me from going downstairs to take a shower and disappointed that I can't follow through on the plans for the day.

My husband’s a plumber. He’s lived in this house for over 30 years, but yet there is only one bathroom in the house, and it’s downstairs. I often wonder why his late wife didn’t insist that a second bathroom be put in upstairs.

So between not being able to take a shower right now and my day not going as I hoped, I am not a happy camper… and that’s the way it is.

Today's weather - It stinks. It's rainy, it's damp, it's chilly, it's just not a nice day.

Life lesson - I need to learn the life lesson that will teach me how to deal with these negative out-of-sync feelings I have so that they are less intense.
