Are you having a bad day?

Sunday was one of those days for me. 

Everyone was so excited to gain an hour of sleep and I was here wondering when bed time would come because I was over it. 

It all started with my husband leaving for work on Friday night and what was suppose to be a 2 day job turned into 3 and he wasn't back until Monday night. The kids didn't want to go anywhere since we have been traveling so much. We have gone to Vail, CO, Mt. Rushmore, SD and Breckenridge, CO in a month (I know, who would complain about travelling? Ahhhh kids - insert eye roll).

So Friday night I am not feeling too hot. Sinus headache, migraine, sore throat and the works. Adding the whole lone ranger thing and my son refusal to get a hair cut by a professional so I had to take matters in my own hands. He was started to look like a homeless hippie. Clippers and bathtub combined with a boy that has lots and lots of beautiful thick hair and a daughter that is only 7 but things she is his personal stylist commenting on every single angle of his hair cut, things were about to take an ugly turn.  The witch came out. 

I was tired, I was cranky, I was hungry and just annoyed to deal with all the nonsense.  You know those days that you take a good look of yourself and you feel ashamed of the way you are acting - well this was one of my days. 

Everyone has bad days. We all do. Even the girl that you think she has all of her ducks in a row - she has bad days too. Life just happens in cycles and some of those cycles are not fun - at all. 

But ending the day on a bad note is a choice. 

I took my little ducks, cleaned up the tub, and called out for a family meeting. We seated across from each other and each said 2 things that the others could do better on. They are 7 and 8 and they told me exactly what I could do much much better on. 

I had a choice, I stopped the cycle. I chose joy! I hope you will too!
