One of "THOSE" days

Today was one of "THOSE" days.  You know, the kind of days were everything just kind of seems to...well, suck.  Nothing major happened, and it was a gorgeous day outside.  But something just never really clicked.  I started this morning off at Les Schwab getting some nail pulled out of my tire, that in and of itself isn't a big deal, but I didn't get to play with Madison for as long as I wanted to this morning.  Then there is this pesky thing called work.  PTHHH it is not my favorite place to be right now.  Oh sure, work is never really a fabulous place to be, but lately it feels like my work place is SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME.  And I am blessed to have a job. I KNOW I KNOW, but that doesn't mean I have to LOVE it.  There is just a lot of negativity there right now, that is just pulling me down.  Then to top off the day, Tyler called me at work to inform me that the amazing crock-pot meal that I prepared this morning, didn't get cooked, because I DIDN'T TURN THE DANG THING ON.  I almost cried when he told me that, would it have been an over reaction....mmm probably, but it was just the cherry on top.

On my drive home I tried to shake off the negative vibes that had been following me around all day.  I was looking forward to a kiss from Tyler, and some play time with Madison.  My bad mood, was not going to ruin it.  By the time I walked in the door I was mostly ok, still a little grouchy, but oh man, as soon as I saw Madison, all the days worries were gone.  She looked at me and giggled and smiled and said "Ma Ma"  and I melted.  I got a kiss from Tyler and loves from Madison.

After we ate some pizza, the day was still warm enough to go play outside in the dirt with no jacket.  So by golly that's what we did.  Well, Madison played in the dirt, I watched.  Madison is growing up so fast.  I told Tyler, I miss having a snuggly baby around, but this age is pretty cool.  She is finally talking (a little bit) and exploring EVERYTHING!  And learning so much everyday.  After she got good and dirty we came inside, had a bath, a treat (a couple pieces of pineapple) read some books, sang some songs, and crashed.

And now that's what I'm going to do...crash.

Good Night!  Oh and I know this whole "write everyday" thing isn't going so well, but I'm trying...kinda.  ;)

Thoughts

OK, so this whole writing every day thing is a lot harder then I thought it would be.  I didn't post on Saturday, because it was such a full day I don't think I even got on the computer (except at work).  Sunday, was well Sunday and a girl has to have a day off right?  Monday I started to write something, but then Madison decided we needed to play, and what kind of mom would I be if I refused my ADORABLE little girl.  Yesterday was another busy day, I worked and then went to Young Women's, I was a half hour late, but still I went.  And that brings us to today.  Here I am playing catch up.

I need to think about what I want this blog to be.  Do I want to chronicle my every day life?  I think that might get kinda boring.  Or do I want to write more about my thoughts and feelings, with a little bit of goings on?  I think I will do more thoughts, feelings and milestones, as well as anything else that tickles my fancy.  I need to learn how to water mark my pictures so that I can post them without fear of someone stealing them.

Thought for today?  Not many.  I was off today and I try to have fun on my days off and not worry about work, or much else for that matter.  I did apply for some jobs in the Hearing Aid Dispensing field (which for those who are wondering, is what I want to be when I "grow up")  Madison was kinda grumpy today.  She loves to be outside, but dang it I don't like to be when it's snowing, which it was today.  She did have a chance later in the afternoon.  This morning she found a big ol' puddle to jump in and soak her shoes and socks.  But hey, you are only a kid once, so I let her jump and get wet...until it started to snow, then it was time to go find something warm to wear.

Feelings for today?  Mmmm, I am feeling loved by my husband and family.  I spent most of the day with my twinner, which is always awesome.  And went out to dinner with Tyler and the kiddo when my other plans fell through.  Madison did pretty well with both dinning out experiences. I used to get so anxious when we would go out.  She doesn't or rather didn't do well with public dinning.  It's one of those things that she just needed some practice.  Not that we eat out a lot, but as she is getting older she is starting to understand what to do and how to behave.  That makes eating out a better experience for EVERYONE involved.

I also need to work on length and how to end the blogs, but I suppose I can figure that out as I go along as well.  So for now, goodnight!

Its all good

I had a rough day at work today.  At least the last hour was kinda crappy.  I was there 45 minutes late.  On a day that I really just wanted to go home and see my husband and kid.  And then some other stupid stuff happened, that isn't even worth repeating because eventually I will forget about it, unless I write about it and stew about it.  So I'm  just plain ol' not gonna do any of that.  Anyway. I was frustrated about work and being there late so I was not my usual chipper self when I walked in the door.  I just wanted a hug and a kiss from my 2 favorite people, then I wanted to go enjoy my Friday night.  

When I walked in, I did get my hug and kiss, but the Tyler (the ward mission leader) was going out with Gordan (one of his ward missionaries) to visit some families and would be back around 730.  Talk about a bummer. I walk in the door and he walks out. 

I was determined to be pissed about it.  But I couldn't.  I know he is out fulfilling his calling and spreading the Gospel.  So while he was out fulfilling his calling I decided I need to work harder at my calling.  I am an advisor for the Laurels, and when I was first given this calling I was super excited, I knew I was given this calling for a reason. But lately I have been slacking.  I only go to young women's when it is my week to teach and I rarely go to the activities any more.  Granted I usually work until 715 or so on the activity nights.  But even if I'm late I should try to go.  So starting now no more slacking.  I was given this calling for a reason, time to give it the attention it deserves. 

And I actually did get to enjoy my Friday.  Madison was a really good kid tonight.  We ate some popcorn with my mom and played for a bit.  And then when Tyler got home we went to A&W for a late dinner, although they forgot to give us our ice cream. But we didn't even notice until we got home. It was actually kinda funny. It was just a couple of ice cream cones so not much lost.

All in all a pretty good start to the weekend I must say

It's About Time

I'm not sure just how long it's been since my last entry...I guess I could go look but I don't wanna.  So I'm just going to dive right back into this blogging thing again.  In the next week I will do some updating.  I have decided to post a new entry everyday for a whole year.  And by the end of the year it should be habit so I will just keep doing it....right?   Hmmm I dunno if that will be the case. But it's worth a shot.  Maybe it will make a better writer of me.

Now that I've committed to writing every day, I can't think of anything to write about.  Isn't that the way it always is.

I think I'm going to call it a night. This isn't a very good first entry of what could be a very long year.  I wish I could write about my day, but they tend to be pretty boring these days.  Madison keeps me on my toes of course, but I went back to work full time in December and I don't think thinking about work let alone writing about it.  And I spend a good portion of my days at work.  So if I wrote about my daily life. It would get boring real quick.  And I don't want to read this later on and bore MYSELF to tears.  Haha.

I will think of a good topic tomorrow!

Good night!
