Just one of those days...

Everyone has those days where you wake up in a good mood, the kids are happy, and the coffee is great. Then suddenly a good portion of your world comes crumbling down, destroying everything in it's path for the foreseeable future. You're angry at everything and you're at a complete loss as to what you should do.

Everyone has those days, there's nothing you can do to prevent them, and there's not much you can do to help them once they're here. They are out of our control. The only thing you can control is how you react . Yes everyone is going to be mad for at least a little bit, but once you realize there is NOTHING you can do about it you really should let the angry go. I know it's so easy to just be pissed and let it ruin the rest of your day if not the rest of your week, but that only hurts you and doesn't fix anything.

It may sound really appealing to rant and rave to anything with ears, or post all your frustrations on social media. While it might make you feel better for a moment it still doesn't solve anything and it highlights your inadequacy for the world to see. That includes your enemies who will use whatever they can against you. In any bad situation there are only ever two people you need to talk to. Your spouse, and God. I would suggest going to God first, because he's always there, and you immediately feel better. When the world falls down the last things you want to do is fight with the only person who has your back. Talk to God, calm yourself then go to your spouse and calmly discuss your next move together.

If you don't have a spouse still go to God and if you need a second opinion to your problems go to your most trusted confidant. Always remember things will get worked out just not always in the way we expect.

New Adventures

I used to HATE going on the social media sites. All my feeds were filled with other Moms making delicious foods and adorable crafts and clothes. It made me feel terrible, and inadequate. Everybody has at least one friend who is like Mother freaking Earth incarnate. She's always making some amazing dinner, and awesome clothes for her multiple kids and out of no where she starts doing art-work. Meanwhile I'm sitting here like "Hey I did the dishes! Again!".

Well I really started thinking about, honestly how do they do it?? The only viable conclusion I could come up with was that it's not them, it's me. There is no reason on earth I couldn't be doing the exact same things. I was simply being lazy. This is not a new revelation to me, I don't think I've ever actually put forth my full effort in anything. Don't get me wrong I have always done everything, just not to the best of my ability.

I was the only thing getting in my way. I have always been a good cook why the hell shouldn't I try something new. I love to paint, I could make amazing inspirational wall art til my arms fall off. I learned to sew in the 7th grade that's my own damn fault my new machine intimidates the crap out of me.

So, I am going to get off my ass and start doing all the things I've jealously watched other people do. I'm going to bake, and can, and sew, and paint, and learn to crochet. I'm going to do whatever makes me happy and productive.
