Blah

It's been a blah day.

I woke up in a good mood. I went to work in a good mood.

But didn't stay in a good mood.

The girls at work were all gritchy today. No one (except myself) was happy and everyone wanted to gripe about their weekend. I tried to tune it out. I tried to ignore it and let my positive attitude show....but it didn't work and once I came back from lunch-my good mood was gone.

I hate that. I hate how I let other people affect my moods and my attitude. It's really frustrating, yet there are times that i feel like i don't know how to stop it. Dang it.

I did have a great lunch with a great friend. I love "Rocking Chair April" and am so blessed to have her in my life. She's an awesome Christian woman with a genuine love for life.

An hour after I got back from lunch Tanner called me. She was "light headed, have a headache and having hot flashes." Excuse me!? She said she kept getting hot and sweaty and then all of a sudden would start freezing cold. They wanted me to come get her. GRRR!!!

When I picked her up I asked her if she'd taken her allergy medicine over the weekend like she was supposed to. Her response? "No because I didn't think I needed it!"

Wrong answer!!

I don't know what the kids problem is that she won't take her stinking medicine. She takes it until she feels better then stops. It just irritates the fire out of me. We went through this two weeks ago and I told her then that the next time she didn't take it, she'd face severe punishment. I hated doing it, but she is now grounded for a week from the tv and the radio. I'm so tired of her not being responsible in that area!! Maybe this will help.

Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. I think a lot of it is that #1, she's tired and #2, she's PMSing and she doesn't know really how to recognize it. When I'm hormonal I have the exact same symptoms, but I know what they are and can shrug it off as PMS and go on. She has yet to reach that point though. She took some Tylenol and is in sleeping now. Hopefully she'll feel better when she gets up. I hope so.

I think when Steve gets home I'll head out on a walk. My shins are still killing me, but that's ok. I think I need to get out and enjoy the nice weather while I can. I like the idea of putting my MP3 player on LOUDLY and getting lost in the music-it typically can put me in a better mood.

We'll see what happens.
