A Little Sparkle

 Yesterday was a bad day.  Yes, we have those over here.  I woke up a little grumpy (tell me that I'm not the only one who just wakes up crabby) and my husband was less than thrilled with my mood and let me know.  I had planned on going bowling, which we did, but about a half hour into it, I. told me she wished she would have just stayed home and that she wasn't having any fun.  I picked up M. during the day and heard a audible snap in my back and have been hobbling around.  We had to run M. to the urgent care and they confirmed that she has a UTI and she's on medicine.  In the meantime, she had 6 potty accidents-sigh.  Nothing like hobbling around cleaning carpet.  The jeans I think are super cute are about double my budget -rats.  I tried a new recipe and no one liked it.  There's more, oh so much more, but you get the drift.

I needed something to break me out of this!  So I added a strip of sequins to an old shirt I had. Two strips actually.

No, I didn't cover the whole pocket.  I. told me it looks weird that way.  I guess I don't care.  Funny, though, how that little sparkle gave me something to look forward to.


Today is better - no need to worry and call me, mom.  I'm off to sweat a little.  I like to say "I'm one workout away from being in a good mood."  and now, I guess I can add "I'm one strip of sequins away from being in a good mood."

Oh, I'm sorry to hear you had an off day! Those aren't fun, but they make the good days so much better, don't they? And I love you mottos - I'm gonna borrow them for myself. Happy Wednesday!

I think we've all had those days. Nothing like a little something shiny to perk one up!

"Hobbling around cleaning" is the story of my life! Sorry to hear about your bad day, but misery loves company (I too have a bad back and my youngest is potty-training). Way to get back in the game by adding sparkles!!
