I almost didn't post this because it's not sunshiney and cheerful, but that's not real life. I don't want my blog to be one of those where I only share the fun, happy things. Life's not always fun, but I still want to be able to share it here.
Everything I was involved with today fell to pieces. Nothing worked out the way I wanted it to. I'm usually pretty good about rolling with the punches, but today, all the punches hit me right in the face. I didn't handle it well.
I was grumpy with everyone who was unfortunate enough to seek me out today. I quit grading the papers on my to-do list tonight...I mean, just absolutely refused to do any more. Cute little protest and all, but you know what? The papers still have to be graded. Guess I'll start a new to-do list for tomorrow! I went on a walk designed to clear my head, and jumped headfirst back into my funk when I got back home. I've been wallowin' around in it like a pig in slop ever since.
I've acted like a she-beast today.
Just bein' honest.
I'm thankful, though, that I'm (hopefully) getting a new day tomorrow. That my family and friends still love me and will forgive my occasional grumpiness. That typing all this out makes me put my dumb ol' bad day in perspective...it could have been way worse. That tomorrow is Thankful Thursday and I can't wait to see how many items I can get on my list!
I am blessed...all day, every day. I just need (not-so-gentle) reminders every now and then!

being a she-beast is just part of it. i absolutely know how you feel. hands down. last week was exactly that way with me. i wish i could say i was ugly to everyone for just a day...but it was more like the whole week. I am so sorry you are going through a bad day but i will pray you have a better day tomorrow. In the words of dane cook "you're doing your best!!!"
ReplyDelete"she-beast"...could the ladies days be near? They sneak up on me too. Suddenly I will completely go raging on a kid and then next day...oh..fine.
ReplyDeleteWe all have days like this, I probably have several during a week : )Owen sends you a great big bear hug and hopes someday he can give you that in person. Hope you have an extra special day tomorrow...because YOU deserve it!
ReplyDeleteyes i am a she-beast a few times a week! i hope your thursday is fab and makes up for a crummy wednesday! btw i am totally stealing your she-beast line. you cant type that without giggling a little! love and blessings to you today!
ReplyDeleteI have days like that too.. When something crummy happens I always remind myself, 'this too shall pass'. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the words of encouragement, friends! It means more to me than you know. Thankfully, the mood passed and I barely resembled a she-beast today :)

PS--Lauren, "she-beast" is all yours! It makes me smile, too.
I'm so sorry. I have those days too...especially going through menopause which seems to be taking FOREVER to get through. And I love the fact that you post real life.
ReplyDeletePraying for you.

Annesta, "real life" comes up quite a bit, and I don't see the need to gloss over it on my blog! Thanks for your prayers and for being such a loyal reader...means a whole lot to me!
