Grey Day

This is not an upbeat blog. If you are in a good mood and don't want it killed, close this blog now. 

It has been raining what seems like non-stop for 24 hours now. Our backyard is half pond so of course the dogs want to go out endlessly to check it out. Lots of wet, stinky fur. Cat people, I envy you.

Husband was soo excited to go to Habitat for Humanity this morning but was worried about the weather. I called their weather hotline at 7:15am and there were no updates, so he got all ready, I packed him a killer lunch, and off he went. He didn't get around the corner before they called to say today was cancelled because they were going to put in doors and windows and the caulk does not set in the rain. He came home looking like a wet dog himself. He had take the day off to do this so he stayed home today and got some stuff done around the house, moping the entire time. Poor guy, I feel really bad for him.

I woke up feeling worse from my cold. Between that and the raging hormones, I did not want to do anything today! I muddled thru work, the grocery, and the library and came home to collapse. Only to wake up in a worse mood. I hate that.

Youngest child had a major melt down after school. He has had a good couple days AT school and I think he must save up all the crap for us because tonight he was a BIG hot mess. Just when I think I cannot cry another tear over that boy, he tops himself. Tonight was one of those nights that I thought " I honestly don't know if I can do this another day". Then Daughter or Middle child come in and say or do something goofy and I realize it could be worse. Thank god for goofy.

I am off Friday and could not be happier. I plan on doing whatever I want (which includes grocery and bday gift shopping) and getting a good workout in. My Sat will be spent driving Daughter to her writing competition (imagine how fun it will be to get her up at 6:30 on a Sat morning!). I will miss Middle child's basketball game because I will be picking her up, coming home to change, and going into work from several hours. Sadly the best part of Sat will be me working a couple hours. I worked this event last year and it was easy money. Hoping for the same this time. Sunday will be a lot of laying around and going to my gal pal's house for a nice dinner and drinks. That will be the best part of my Sunday!!

On an entirely separate note, all the inspirational posts about storms coming in and dancing in the rain: to this I say, bullshit. NO ONE goes out to dance in the rain! Seriously, do you know anyone that looks outside and says 'Wow, I should get all my rubber gear on and go dance in the rain because it is so pretty?" No, you don't know ANYONE that would do that. In the summer, we will go out and play in the puddles AFTER the rain but not while the life ending lightening is going on. Get real: unless you are stranded in a desert, no one dances in the rain.

I warned you I was a buzz kill today.

Thanks to my friends and family that leave comments on my blog. I appreciate the time you take to give me your thoughts.

Weight Warriors: There is nothing I could say today that would motivate any of us!! Try to get some good exercise in tomorrow so you start your weekend off right. I try to really get a lot of minutes in on the weekend so I don't feel bad if I only have a half hour to workout during the weekdays. Also, since upping my fat intake, I am much more full. Or it could be that I don't feel good and nothing sounds good. Hard to tell, but I am feeling fuller.

I hope you all have a great Friday. I will snap out of this mood, I always do. Thanks for hanging in there with me!!
