Did you ever have one of those days?
Wake up early, on a day when you have no reason to wake up so early? After a cruddy night of sleep that might as well have not existed?
Go to an incredibly difficult exercise class, struggle through the entire way, and feel like total crap about yourself the entire time you work out?
Lose a friend, when you have so few to begin with?
Check your bank balance and just want to, you know, cry - but it's too much effort?
Look around your house and see the overwhelming stack of responsibility that falls on your shoulders - and know that you have zero desire to rectify any of the issues?
Struggle with most of your kids, and feel an utter futility about the future?
Wonder why you bother sometimes?
Or is it just me?
Yes, I've had those days. Keep calm and carry on! Don't give in to despair.

You are SO not alone. Hoping your week gets better!

Hugs to you. Yes, those days happen. Just know it will get better.

Everybody has those days. I prescribe a big drink. And zumba! :)

Definitely not just you. I am right there as well. *sigh* I have been furiously chanting "this too shall pass" under my breath, but I am thinking the drink sounds like a viable option. Hope it gets better for you.

Yes! I sometimes have days like that - especially in regards to one of my ADULT children. But I just want to say I'm so so sorry that you are feeling so low right now. Praying you feel lots better soon!

Oh, yes. Just yes.
Posted by: Nicole | June 25, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Yep, I have days like that. More and more often, it seems. I'm sorry you're feeling so down at the moment. Consider this a virtual hug with the wish it could be one in person!
Posted by: Christina | June 25, 2012 at 11:47 AM
Seems as if lately I've had several of those days. I figure it's the lack of balance in my days; kids not in school, friends out of town on vacation, and a bunch of family drama that doesn't involve me or mine, but it is close enough that we feel it, too. If that makes sense! Hang in there, friend. It will get better!

Sorry you're going through it, too. Payday is Friday and we have more month than money this month. Hang in there!

I've had many days like this recently. I just keep trudging on and hoping it all brightens soon.
HUGS!

I so can relate, have a lot of different problems going on, but I just tell myself to take it one day, or even just one hour at a time. Try and not stress over the "what ifs", just deal with them as they come. Sending you a big hug and think you deserve an adult beverage! Hang in there...

*peers suspiciously around house* Are you spying on me? I'm having a very similar day, minus the exercise. (I cannot trust the kids enough right now to be able to run on the treadmill without breaking up a fight.) And we are in the midst of a violent storm that mirrors how I feel inside.
Tomorrow is a new day, right? Right?
Posted by: Kati | June 25, 2012 at 02:30 PM
We're already negative and payday isn't until Friday.
At least my kids are being good today. I'll take what I can get.
Posted by: Kait | June 25, 2012 at 03:28 PM
*sigh* yes. often. But then my thirteen year old makes me dairy free choc. chip cookies or my nine year old makes a double play in his baseball game. My 7yr old daughter offers me some of her candy, or my 11yr old gives a fabulous foot massage. My amazing hubby orders me to go for a walk or something else equally fantastic. Then, if only for a moment, all is right with the world. So here is hoping someone makes your day brighter if only in a simple way!
Posted by: Camilla | June 25, 2012 at 04:16 PM
Many, many days like that. Sometimes a nap resets my attitude (if I can squeeze it in, even if it is just 15 minutes of totally zoning out). Sometimes nothing will break it and the day just goes on and I hope for a better tomorrow. If all else fails, wine at the end of the day at least makes things fuzzier around the edges. Hang in there - tomorrow WILL be better. hugs

Ummm alcohol .... that's all I got.

Um. Add "scream at your children like a crazy person before dropping them off at Totus Tuus, thereby leaving you feeling like a) an ass and b) a total and complete hypocrite of the very worst stripe."
Yeah. Nice.
May tomorrow be better.
Posted by: Kira | June 25, 2012 at 09:15 PM
Absolutely have had those days, way to many to count. Here's to hoping that tomorrow is better.
Posted by: Wendy | June 25, 2012 at 09:46 PM
Sort of. For me, I wonder all the time - is this all there is? I feel so lame, boring, uninteresting, painfully average. I have accomplished nothing. You are my role model.
Posted by: Tara | June 25, 2012 at 10:10 PM
I mean, I want to be more like you. Because I think you are really cool.
Posted by: Tara | June 25, 2012 at 10:11 PM
If one of my options here was a huge 'Hug You' button I would be pressing it over and over... :(
Posted by: Carmen ;) | June 26, 2012 at 03:34 AM
the thing about a crap ass day is there is always tomorrow, and most likely it's not going to be as bad as the day just finished. :D
