CRANKY

What is up with me?  I am just cranky today.  I'm not overtly cranky, but I feel like I'm not polite and I'm overly critical of everything—especially when it's people who are trying to help me. 

I dislike me when I'm like that.  I get angry at myself.  I vow to be better.  I do things like this daily because, hell, if you don't keep trying to improve yourself, you might as well give up on life.  Okay, that's harsh, but I do believe it's important to never stop growing personally. 

Back to the crank.  For some reason it's cranked up today.  I feel like my hunger level is cranked up, my food consumption is cranked up and therefore my feeling of not successfully maintaining my weight is cranked up.  Not to mention that I just feel cranky.

How will I combat this?  By never giving up and not letting the day be a full waste.  I'm going running with a friend shortly and hopefully will have a better outlook at that point.  My mother is here and her day is going worse.  Her car battery is completely dead and she has to have her car towed.  Don't you hate when days go like that?  It sounds like a tow truck is on the way so maybe her day will be better soon. 

The kids are a good/bad thing when your day isn't going well.  The cute, funny and sweet things they do help, but the crying and throwing and not napping makes it ever so much worse.


The Big Boy Update:  Honk honk, mash smash.  Buttons.  He loves buttons.  Today we were moving cars around in the driveway—yes, we are just that exciting some days—and he wanted to get into the cars.  He tried to turn the wheels, mash the buttons and even turned off one of the cars at one point.  I kept my foot on the brake the whole time, just in case, you know.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  Today is a day of spit up.  I'm not sure why, but she's been spitting up a lot.  She's making sure we go through the full rotation of bibs.  She's even tried out a few of her brother's.
