Socks

Yesterday was one of those days. I didn't do well. Do you ever have one of those days? I ate too much. Then I was unhappy with myself so I ate some more. ACK! This was a problem. I was so tired that I sent the three older kids downstairs and I laid on the couch. What a slacker! I also was a little crabby. Shh.
I don't like those days, but it does make me think about what triggered it, what I can do to change it, etc. I knew that things weren't well. I told Gary that things weren't going well, that I didn't feel well, that I ate two granola bars. I talked with God about it. Things gradually turned around and I even made myself go for a walk after supper which helped a ton.
Today I feel better. I have a new attitude because I chose to. I didn't like how I felt yesterday and I promised myself that I would make some better choices today. For one thing, I am eating so much better hence, I feel better. I also have on one green sock and one blue sock. Yesterday, I would have been crabby about this, but today I'm embracing it. I didn't want cold feet therefore I chose my warmest socks and there was only one blue and one green. I'm also wearing Gary's old scrubs from when he worked in the nuclear power plant and had to wear them. . . something about radiation. . .blah blah. . . our kids are all fine. It couldn't have been that bad as everyone has 10 fingers and toes. I'm comfy today. I'm happier today. Even though I looked silly picking up Noel from school, I decided that I didn't have to be perfect looking mom today. I am having some hair issues. . . .
Hope you are having a two different colored socks kind of a day as well.
