had a bad day...

Did you ever have one of those days? I know that tortures a cliche' but man, was today one of those days. To start it was Monday morning {which always takes a measure of grace to get going} and I woke up and got my period. Well, that's really no big deal to most, but when you are trying so desperately to get pregnant, that means another disappointing month and another month of trying. So, that started things off just right. I left my house a 6:05am and it generally takes me 25-30 minutes to get to work, but today since PennDot just embarked on a new fix the road adventure {closing ten miles of road to do one mile of work} , I got to work at 7:15am...late. I got to work to find that I had an enormous workload today because I am covering for a friend while on vacation. So, yeah I spent the day treading water trying to figure out exactly what I need to do for my co-worker while she is off. It all got topped of by getting caught in a rain storm on my motorcycle. So yeah, I was pretty grumpy today. And, I am so glad that Monday is over because Tuesday can only get better. I spent the day seconds away from tears or from eating the face off of everyone that came within three feet of me, but now as I sit in the silence of the evening, it doesn't seem so bad. Everyone has bad days. Thankfully, mine are few and far between. And, thankfully, just because I have a bad day doesn't mean that God loves me any less. And, I think that it helps you to appreciate the good days too. So, here's to having a bad day.So, what am I going to do now? Well, pie and icecream and a warm foot bath with lots of bubbles....that always make things better.....

I have these days too, Amanda. The hard part for me has always been reaching out on those days. I'm walking around, tears in my eyes, on the brink of a meltdown, and someone says "Margie, what's wrong?" And do you know what I say??? "Nothing." HA! It's crazy! I would never let someone "in". I'm getting much better with this, but I still have the "nothing" days too. *sigh* I'm so glad Jesus is patient with us.
