Boot straps- November 27, 2012
I’ve been a little pouty the past few days. I haven’t been myself. I haven’t done my best work. I’ve been putting off all these fantastic blog posts I’ve had in my head. I’ve let the house get a little messy. I haven’t felt like cooking and our family has dined on cans of soup or Gerber Toddler dinners. I may or may not have only eaten leftover pumpkin pie for dinner last night.
You know how it is. Sometimes you just feel like wearing your hair in a ponytail and throwing on your glasses instead of primping. Good Lord! Please don’t tell my mom I haven’t finished the Thank You notes from Charlotte’s birthday. It doesn’t make it any better when I see over-achieving moms on the Internet with their gorgeous photos and stunning Christmas decorations already up.
I’ve just had two days of blah. Days where I killed a few moments making pictures like this on the iPad.
I could blame it on the cold I’m fighting. In recent months we seem to be passing around the same daycare snot nose between the three of us. I could blame it on the drab, drizzly weather. I could blame it on a post-Thanksgiving carb coma.
I could, but I won’t.
This post is me clearing my head and pulling myself up. I’m capable of more than mediocrity and I’m better than the blahs. I’m better than some lame-o who doesn’t do her best or compares herself to other people online. We have a great holiday planned and I have high hopes for 2013. With the sniffles waning, my body is begging for some exercise.
Deep breath. Shake it off. Let’s do this.
Spread it around:
Hang in there! I blame the sudden dreary weather. Haven’t felt all Christmasy yet here either. Plus w/Thanksgiving so early. I’m waiting for the calendar to flip to Dec.
Is that what is was? Early Thanksgiving. Hmmm…maybe so. Thanks!
Shake it off, beautiful! I’m sure today’s weather didn’t help. Get some exercise, go shopping or hey, come see me!!
Thanks! I think Charlotte would love a play date with Miss E. Let me know if you want to shop and take the kids, or get some coffee. Looking forward to blogger nights! ::Hugs::
Hang in there, it will pass. I think we all get the funk now and then. And being a parent amplifies the funk because we feel like so many are depending on us to hold it together. We all eat junk for dinner once in a while
Thanks! I’m feeling better today.
