It's been one of those days where I've had to rack my brain to come up with three good things I did today. Now if you asked me to list things that I did badly or just three really bad things I did, I could make you a list that would go on into eternity (I'm sure it probably will!) but the good things are in short supply today. So here goes nothing.
1. I went for a 60 minute walk. It hurt and I didn't want to, but I went. And when I got home I promptly lost my pedometer in the toilet. I said a bad word, I admit it. But I'm over it.
2. I cleaned the kids bathroom today. It was disgusting and I swore I wouldn't do it again, but I couldn't stand it anymore so I caved. It is all sparkly and lovely though. Gotta love that.
3. I bought Ben a Bakugon at Walmart. It made him so happy. After listening to me yell at him all morning he deserved to be happy for a moment. HMM buying someone's forgiveness, is that a good thing? Am I teaching him right principles? Make Mom really mad and after she's done yelling at you she'll take you shopping and buy you a toy. Maybe not quite what I should be going for.
So there's my three good things for the day. As you can see I've managed to get in a few negative things with the good. Isn't that usually the case. I can't ever just see the good, always gotta find the bad too. But I'm working on it. Tomorrow will be better, right?

Mom you crack me up! Way to go for finding some good things.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I crack myself up too. But it was such a lousy day, you just gotta laugh, you know?
ReplyDeleteOh Michele. I love you. just a few comments:
ReplyDelete1. If I get through the day saying only one bad word it is a good day. 2. There are lots of times that I feel like if I do not do something around the house then it wouldn't get done. O ne time I did not take out the trash or clean our (mine & Aaron's) bathroom, just to see how long it would take for someone to step up. I caved too, I just couldn't do it, sometimes I think us moms are taken for granted!! and 3.I totally bribe my kids for their forgiveness. I think it is okay, sometimes. I know I have crappy days and I fly off the handle because they did not make their beds right. I think it is okay to give an I'm sorry gift.
You are amazing! Thanks for sharing your life stories with me!!
