Things that are good about today….
Jul 8th, 2008 by Sandy
I am uber-cranky! So cranky that I am thinking it is not a good idea to be around others, so I am hiding in my office today. But because I know that there are some external things that are influencing my mood that are somewhat beyond my control, I thought that I would instead focus on what I thought was cool about today. I may just jot down a few things now, but I may keep adding to this list throughout the day today. I haven’t decided yet (funny how much you get away with when you are in a bad mood!).
- My meeting that I thought was today and I wasn’t at all prepared for is really next week, so I have some time this morning to do other things that I would like to do – such as, post this list.
- The new “man room” has been painted, although it does need a little touching up, with VOC-free paint from Home Depot. It was great paint, and I feel good about the lack of chemicals in my house. I also found a wonderful brush at Home Depot to cut in with, and it made the whole room so much easier to paint. I will post pictures of the finished man room soon.
- I have the curtains started for the man room, and I am really happy that I didn’t stress out about it forever instead of just doing it. I am also really excited that we just reused curtains that we already had and are modifying them with some new fabric. They should be really cute…I mean manly when they are done.
- Tonight is wing night, and I am looking forward to hanging out with friends. And, I am glad that we have started doing wing night again, even if it is not every week.
- I am planning on going to the consignment shop on post tomorrow to take some things that need a new home, and hopefully, come home with a bookcase that will be wonderful for my office that I saw there the last time I was up there. That will then allow me to take my office bookcase home to the laundry room, and take the laundry room bookcase back to the consignment shop. Love it when it is just like a circle, and we don’t end up with more than we need.
- I slept much better last night! Don’t know what the deal was, but the night before it was wicked hot in our room. Last night was much nicer. I am thinking that the man room door needs to stay open.
- My mother-in-law, one of them, is coming tomorrow sometime, and I am proud of us that we aren’t going to have to completely clean the house. We have been doing a great job keeping up with things lately, which I know is partially due to us being home so much over the summer.
- I have a wonderful husband who puts up with my cranky moods and doesn’t take it too personally. This is really one of the best traits a wife could ask for in a mate.
So, there are eight things that are going really well right now. And, if I can come up with eight off the top of my head, then I am sure that there are others as well. I am going to try to focus on these things instead of my crabby mood!
