I tried...

...but yesterday just wasn't my day.  Sometimes I can tell when a day just isn't going to go right and I just give in to that feeling, but despite the early signs yesterday, I fought to not let the day get me.  I tried, I worked to stay as positive as possible, but in the end, the day still beat me.  Thankfully,  it wasn't an AWFUL day - it just didn't go really well either. 

It started with me just dropping things left and right before I left the condo for work and I nearly forgot a VERY important work notebook at home, but thankfully I remembered right before I left.  Once at work, I realized I forgot my watch and jewelry and I hate the feeling of being without my wedding rings.  Then it was just work frustrations - someone giving me their work to do, someone doing something of mine, someone not reading the email I sent and basically asking me to repeat everything in the email over the phone, etc, etc.  I still hadn't lost all hope and was relieved when 4:30 came.  I was gathering my things to leave when I knocked my can of Diet Coke onto the carpet and had to spend 15 minutes getting it all up so it didn't stain.  I finally texted Jack once I left work to say I was on my way and with what had held me up from leaving.  He sent a text back "Let's eat comfort food for dinner".  I try not to be much of an emotional eater, but that offer just sounded too good to pass up.

He was a great husband and picked up my dinner choice - Taco Bell.  I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I just love it.  While he was out, I let Bentley out and it seemed that Bentley wasn't feeling so great either, so I was quite sympathetic to him last night.  Thankfully, today seems to be a better day so far.

Oh no! I'm sorry you had a bad day! At least there's Taco Bell! You deserve a yummy dinner after a day like that. The diet coke spill really just topped it off - boo.

I'm glad it's better now, though! :)

Yeah, I feel your pain. You are certainly my daughter. Your Coke saga reminds me of the time, not too long ago, when I was juggling a bunch of stuff in my arms as I carried it all into the house from the car. Here's what I got for buying a McD's Chocolate Shake. Trying to make it all in one trip, I put the covered shake into my wide open purse (plenty of room) and by the time I got to the kitchen table well... you can guess the rest. The cover popped, the chocolate shake gushed all over the inside of my purse and INTO my wallet and, as I set it down on the table, proceeded to ooze out and onto the table, the floor and me!!! I don't usually launder money, but I had to on that day. What the heck else did I expect??? Boy, did I learn my lesson and, silly me, now the whole world knows about my klutziness. Took me quite a while to clean out that purse (I wouldn't have bothered but I really liked that purse) and unstick everything. Only consolation? It smelled really delicious. Anyhow, things change from moment to moment and soon your bad day will turn into a good one. Keep your chin up and remember, you're just carrying on a family tradition! Love ya' lots!!

A little Vitamin "Z" with that comfort food would have worked wonders!!! (And you're right, Jack is a good husband for picking it up)
