I'm PMSing. 


So OF COURSE I had a bad day at sales. I was moody, partially annoyed by my prospects and down on myself so I took a lot of "no's" in the face today.


In my neighborhood some of the kiddos had an argument yesterday, one of the neighbors scolded the kids and the parents of the kids got angry. One mom tried to vent to me and I simply ignored her: Basically bobbed my head and said, "mmm hmmm" every once in a while.


Then my kids started throwing food across the kitchen at dinner time and...I lost it. I sent them immediately to the bath, washed them, dressed them and sent them to bed without dinner.


I mean, sheesh! As if it isn't enough that my body feels like crap, but I have to have all these nutso mood swings and try to deal with drama from all sides!


I think "plug n' chug" may come in handy here. Maybe I should look for solutions to my PMS! 


I also had a great training call tonight for my job. Stupid stuff that I should know and apply as a salesperson, but that I tend to miss because of a comfort zone I've slipped into. 


Today's lesson: GET OVER IT! Each moment is temporary and it's worth it to make it good or get over it and make the next moment better!

This whole weekend has been one of those whirl-wind weekends where everything is super busy and nothing and no one seems to cooperate with my schedule.

After writing the previous post about NOT PMSing, the very next day I switched gears into Mucho PMS gear. Then to top it all off my twins both have acid diarrhea that has practically eaten away at the soft little epidermis on their cute little tooshies. My four-year-old is acting like a teenager and the only thing that seems to be going right is my sex life & the house-keeping.

Balance? Huh! Seems like when one thing is good the other things fall to shit. Then they flip-flop and reverse and play a confusing game of musical chairs: where there is only one chair and one winner...everyone else loses.

But, I am persisting, reading my book, searching - nay, scouring the internet for articles and books about parenting, being a good wife, 30-minute meals, time-management...

If you have ANY book suggestions, let me know! I'd love to hear what has helped you in the past!

Balance (a myth?) or Bust!

Everything right now seems a little too magical, fun, inspiring and easy. It's like the universe is spinning right around me...I'm obviously NOT PMS-ing.

So I told you in my last post that I have read The Best Year of Your Life: Dream It, Plan It, Live It once before. I pretty much read it upon the recommendation of my friend. I found it interesting, inspiring and informational, but it didn't give me enough to really start acting...you know, doing the things that were prescribed for me to do in order to have the best year of my life. But I did gain a lot from the first read.

Last night as I started reading the preface, it all started flooding back to me and It was like every word was an epiphany. Then today I went to church with my husband (long story short: we don't get to go together often) and every word the Pastor said and every song we sang spoke right to my heart and chimed right in with the book.

Without getting long-winded and spoiling the book...I'm just going to say that it was totally "right on" and I can't wait to keep reading.

P.S. This post was actually written like three days ago, but my internet has been down. What the hell is a DNS server anyway and why doesn't it communicate???
