Oh, people. You're going to get so sick of my posts, if you aren't already. I don't know what the hell my problem is, but I just feel miserable again today. Overall, the day was crap. I didn't enjoy my work day at all. I wasn't productive (not by choice) so I didn't even complete one of the three priorities I had set for my day (which thought I would whip through and start tomorrow's list). So, it was just a frustrating eight hours.
When I picked up the boys after work, who I missed terribly all day, Grayson basically bawled and whined for the first entire hour. The cat wouldn't shut up either and - as you can see - my fuse was short, so all the noise just grated on my nerves like fingernails on a chalk board.
Jeff had a work function tonight for the second night in a row *resting bitch face here* and tomorrow night is bringing one of the people from head office home with him for the evening for a few beers and visiting, etc. This means the house has to look presentable, I have to look presentable (at the end of this week?! HAHAHAHA), and I have to be pleasant. I just don't have it in me to be pleasant. I say that, but I always am, dammit.
We're on day ??? of this ridiculous weather. I've lost count. And that's not helping my mood one bit.
And there is my list of complaints. Did I perk up your mood? Likely not. I'm sorry about that. The day wasn't all bad, though, and here were the moments I was supremely thankful for.
1. I went out for coffee with the other Amber at work today. She's great. We talked about our kids, our worries about our boys starting Kindergarten next year, and then some more about our kids. She gets me and I feel like I get her, and realizing that you're not alone in some of those hard feelings is very comforting.
2. I decided tonight that, in spite of company coming over tomorrow night, I wasn't going to clean anything until the kids were in bed. I knew I'd only get two hours with them at the most and I wasn't going to spend ANY of that time worrying about the kitchen. So, after supper, I didn't do anything except play with them. The TV was off and it was just the three of us, being together, in the present moment. It was wonderful, especially since Gray's mood really perked up after supper.
3. It is 9:37 and I am going to post this as soon as it's done and head to bed. I am tired and I need to "check out" of this day and all of the negative energy I have assigned to it. Tomorrow is a new day and until my eyelids are too heavy to stay open, a book awaits.
I hope you had a great day.
