Cloudy with 100% chance of irritability. That pretty much sums up the day. Everything irritated me today. From the dogs at work nudging my elbow first thing this morning to Diva’s meltdowns in the car on the way home to the incessant intrusions all evening long.
My introversion is running rampant today. I just want to be alone with my thoughts because – well they are too loud. I have so much going on in my mind at the moment, it’s just hard for me to concentrate. It’s exhausting.
But I did have small successes today. It was the little things that got done, but at least something got done.
I cleaned out my car. It’s embarrassing to pull up to carpool to drop off a child, only to have half a ton of garbage spill out on the sidewalk when he/she exits. I needed an intervention.
I found the largest spiderweb constructed between my neighbor’s tree and lawn and had Diva and Manchild come and admire it with me. (As long as the spider stays with the web, we’ll be fine.) I even explained to Diva why we couldn’t destroy it. The spider eats the mosquitoes. Yet all I thought was Because I don’t want to anger the beast lest he launch a surprise attack on me when I take out the trash or get in my car.
I washed some dishes.
I added some new blogs to my reader. I subscribed to the blogs of the women I’ve met through scrapbooking, and I think they are all lovely.
I spent some time with James, who showed me a clip of the new NBC series Parenthood, which prompted me to cry at the end. I must be tired.
Focus on the positive. Focus on what I did accomplish. Because I could speak ad nauseam of the things I didn’t accomplish today, and it’s what I naturally dwell on.
Anyone want to take a guess on the forecast of my mood tomorrow?
Have a great night!
Sally
