CRANKY PANTS

Boy oh boy have I ever been wearing a pair of XL cranky pants the last few days!!! I "think" the worst of it is over. It all kinda started on Saturday or at least that is when the pity party started! I had to be at the Preschool at 8am to oversee a Parish Preschool Workday. I prefer to sleep in on Saturdays. So, I had a bit of an attitude about having to be up early AND having to work on my day off instead of being thankful for the help of others, who gave up their Saturday morning to help me with a ton of work around the Preschool. By the time I got home I was so hot and tired that all I wanted to do was take a cold shower and climb into bed. That was when Laura Ashley said mom would you go with me to shop for stuff for school?? Ugh....sure honey just let me lay down for 15 minutes to catch my breath....

Sunday came and I returned to the Preschool to do ceiling to floor cleaning, this time dragging my hubby along to put together doll strollers, trucks, soccer goal, etc, etc... Came home again hot and tired and became very cranky when I walked in a saw that my girls did nothing around the house while I was working "on my day off" at the Preschool. Their answer was well we didn't know, you didn't leave us a note. Seriously why should I leave a note telling someone to do something when the mess is staring them in the face!!!! Grrr!!!!

Sunday night I was so stiff, sore and achy from all the work I had done and that was when the migraine came. I knew I was over doing it and instead of paying someone else to do the Preschool cleaning or asking a team of Church ladies to help I had to go and show everyone how strong I was and do it all by myself. Ugh...when will I ever learn just to ask for help!!

My migraine grew worse and instead of slowing down I just plunge ahead and work even harder. My solution to the migraine was to take a Muscle Relaxer. The "DR." in me thought I should do this since my body was so sore from all the heavy work I had done. I took this "EVIL" pill knowing that it would throw me into the worse mood ever!! And, it didn't disappoint me or my family!

Oh...did I mention I spent 6 hours at the Mall with Sarah yesterday and all she came home with was a shirt....that's all ONE SHIRT!!!!! Double Grr!!! And, I've slept on the couch for 3 nights due to all the coughing Mike has done from this cold he has. When I woke this morning I knew my mood was at it's worse when Mike walked in and said "I think I'm sick"...."Gee honey ya think"????!!!!! I unleashed such fury on him from that comment...down to telling him how sick I was of listening to him coughing up a lung and that I was making him an appt. to the Dr. and that if he didn't go I would spend the night at the Preschool {haha...I always threaten by family that I'm running away to the Preschool}. Well he did go and he does have Bronchitis and has no one to blame but himself for not going to the Dr on Monday when I first suggested it.

Anyway, I went to work and did the floors today and worked my aggression and rotten mood out into making those floors sparkle. I am feeling somewhat better and have not liked myself at all the last few days AND I really need to learn how to make time for myself, ask for help, slow down, etc..etc...BUT, I really need to throw those rotten EVIL muscle relaxers in the trash. I'm blaming my hissy fit and cranky pants tantrum on those pills and I'm sticking to that story!
