It's one of those days. Cranky beyond cranky and for no "good" reason. I keep trying to hide from my kids. I go downstairs, they come downstairs. So I go back upstairs and pretty soon they are upstairs. Sometimes Mommy just wants to be ALL ALONE! I wonder what my neighbors would think if I went out onto the back deck and screamed. Very loudly.
I went to the gym at 8:30am. Got a good workout in. Managed to make it 5 miles on the treadmill and then do some upper body exercises. Still haven't showered and I look nasty! I like to remind myself on days like this, when I feel like crap, that I have accomplished a few good things. I worked out (although, one of the reasons I am cranky is because think I have Plantar Fasciitis and I refuse to stop running). I vacuumed out the nasty car after our long road trip this weekend. I have done some laundry. I have mostly cleaned the kitchen. I have fed my children and kept them alive. Oh, and I got the sugar cookies made for Katelyn's Valentine's Day party tomorrow. Since I threw out all of my white flour, I tried a whole wheat version. I used a combination of soft white wheat and regular white wheat along with Raw Demerara Cane Sugar. Guess what? They taste great!
Now, I need to do something meaningful. Perhaps read stories?

I am doing the same thing! I am avoiding my kids in a 2 bedroom apartment, which doesn't work very well. I think I'm tired. I exercised as well this morning but all this sugary junk I've been eating is making me tired and cranky. I will need a few days to "detox." We are out of groceries and I need more sleep. I'm sorry you are having a blah day but I understand. Try screaming with your face in a pillow. That is what I do. Also, breathe in through your nose and hold it for 9 seconds, then exhale through your mouth as hard as you can to empty your lungs completely. Repeat 3 times. Brandon tells me to do those "cleansing breaths" he calls them. I tried some this morning but it had no effect. Maybe it will work for you! Good luck!
Sounds yummy. You'll have to post the recipe. Hopefully tomorrow will be much better.
I think we all have "blah days" every once in a while. Mine happen once a month right before that "special time of the month" happens. It's hard to sometimes feel cranky and to not have any real good reason to blame that feeling on. I've done what Alicia has done before, screamed into a pillow. It made me feel a little bit better, but it also made my throat hurt afterwards :)
I'm going to plan another girls night within the next couple of weeks. I think we could all use a get together to chase away the winter blues. But I was thinking that maybe instead of bringing a craft to work on, we could all meet at my house, enjoy some veggies/fruit and dip and maybe all bring a recipe to share. (I know I can always use more inspiration in the kitchen.) I'll keep you posted.
You probably know, but just in case you don't massage can do wonders for your feet. Good luck and just hang in there.
Hmmm, we had a similar day yesterday, too. Maybe all that sugar/lack of sleep/ crazy fun with relatives? At least that's what I tell myself.
That's a very productive day in my book,DeAnne!
