No matter how hard I try to be a positive person, sometimes crap.... just..... happens. Sometimes things are just out of my control. I hate to get sucker punched and this week I got hit not once, not twice, but 3 times. I don't want to go into it, so let's just say that I'm not really in my usual "Happy Blogger Frame of Mind" today.
I know so many people who are dealing with so much shit that they just should not have to be dealing with. Honestly, life is hard enough these days without all the external B.S. piling up. There are several bloggers that I can think of right off-hand who are doing a wonderful job of handling the turmoil in their lives. You know who you are. I applaud you and that is really what is helping me to get a grip on myself. It's not the end of the world and I will live to fight another day. But honestly, sometimes I am tired of the fight. I'm sick of the up-hill battle. It's a constant two steps forward and one step back kind of dance. Based on my usual, what I think of as upbeat kind of blogs, this probably will come as a surprise to most of you. But I do have bad days. This has been a bad week. Note to Life - I'm only 5'2" but if you don't knock it off, I'm going to punch you in the shins!
Louie told me that we have to be thankful for what we have. Today I'm thankful that it's Friday and that the week ended on a semi-better note. I'm thankful that my kids and Louie and I are all healthy. I'm going to try to enjoy the weekend as planned with a house full of people and deal with all my crap next week. Wish me luck....
So, for today I am going to feel sorry for myself and be pissed off, and kick a few things around and grumble under my breath... Well, if you know me, you'd know it's so not under my breath....
Have a good weekend everyone!
