After I posted last night's entry, I went out for walk by myself. (It really wasn't that cold). After a nice long walk in the cool air -- singing out loud to the songs on my iPod (God it's so embarrassing when someone is outside and I scare them when I start busting out some lyrics)...I felt much better.
I was having a bonafide 36-year-old temper tantrum last night because my vacation was not going the way I had it pictured in my head and there was nothing I could do about it. But, the truth is that what I needed was to have some gratitude for a PAID week off. Even if I spend it sitting on the couch watching Oprah...I'm geting paid to do it! There are many who don't get paid vacations, and even more who never get any vacation at all...so I should quit my sulking and enjoy the time, right?
Not sure what's on tap for today, but we have options -- maybe swimming at the YMCA or mini golf or the Children's Museum (kids love going there...it bores me to tears...but I have lots of magazine reading to get caught up on).
Dan & I may go to Jr's Comedy Club tonight -- it is ALWAYS such a blast & tickets are just $10 on Thursdays. And...bonus...Jrs is smoke-free on Thursdays (woohoo!). I figure I could use a few laughs and a night away from the kids.
Oh..and I need to buy a new keyboard and mouse today since I sort of broke mine when the computer froze when I was posting yesterday. Yeah...I was in sooooommmme kind of mood.
But...I'm better today. I know The Secret. Positive thoughts...gratitude..and good will come my way! :-)

Heather,
Hope you are feeling more upbeat. Mother Nature apparently heard your fit and decided to smile on you today.

Playing the Ukulele is a good stress reliever! :D
And... how to you break a keyboard and mouse? :-/
