Cranky Pants

Well, its been a while since I have posted anything but I guess I'll just jump right in and pick up where I left off (which knowing me was probably mid-sentence or mid-thought!)

Tonight I have a single-mom confession that isn’t very pretty BUT since I don't have many readers anyways….I’m going to put it out there.

Confession…I am pissed off. Not all the time. But I have days, like today, when I am tired and busy and totally overwhelmed. And it just ticks me off. Kids are sick. Dogs are sick. Work is blowing up. I don’t have any clean clothes. We ran out of bread. And to top it all off, I don’t have enough money to pay the electric bill this month. And I just don’t feel like being happy about any of it. In fact, today, I kind of just want to throw a temper tantrum about it all. But I can't. Because when you are a single parent you can’t just stop and throw a fit- it would be un-single-parent-like. We have to be hardworking and positive and wise. All the time. There’s nobody to back us up otherwise. Well, today I am tired and cranky and feeling overwhelmed. And totally un-wise.


I went running earlier and tried to change my attitude but I wasn’t all that productive in the attitude-changing department. But whatever. I ran three miles. Sometimes it feels like running is the only thing I can do well.

Ok, no more complaining. My kids are so cool and I’m just missing being able to enjoy them is all. Going to lose the attitude now and focus on the many, many blessings I have. 


Goodnight. Forgive my complaining.
