Today

Today did not start out well.  Arguments, misunderstandings, sad kids, frustrated parents.

Today I have more to do than there will be time for.

Today my eyes are swollen and red with allergies, my headache from yesterday persists, my hair is frizzy and my clothes don't fit.

Today I face piles of laundry, floors that are sticky, sheets that need changing, a kitchen that looks like a disaster area.

Today I need to pay the bills.

Today I am tired.  Let's face it – every day I am tired. 

Today I must make a good dinner because my family is starting to forget what that looks like. 

Today I just want to curl up with a book and make everything go away.

Today I will try very hard to change my attitude, because I know that my attitude will make today what it is.

    amen, amen, amen… if I came over, we could both wallow together. Maybe that’s not such a good idea! You’re the best, no matter what you feel like TODAY!

    Oh, Mer. As I type, it is now 8:52 p.m. I hope that your day ended better than it started. At the very least, the day is nearly over and tomorrow is bright with possibilities. Right?
    Reading this post made me teary…and as I reflect on why I got emotional, I can come up with just two reasons. 1) I am truly sad that you had a hard day; 2) Many times I think that NO ONE ELSE but me has days like this. If you, one of the most amazing people I know, have days like this too, then there must be hope for me. 🙂
    Love, ya!
