Ok so the newlyfresh glitter & glam of the move has worn off--
--at least for today.
I don't usually complain on this bloggity blog...but...
It's been a rough one.
The day started early with an electric outage (and then came on again), leaving all of the electric lit clocks a-blinking. I'm going to blame everything that happened on the annoying BLINK of those numbers.
You know...12:00
blink
blink
blink
blink
There wasn't anything more annoying than that...
until:
- I realized how cold it was (60-something in our apt) and chose to stay in my warm bed instead of start the day at a decent hour
- the babe found my stash of extra TP rolls and commenced a paper party
- I got dressed & ready to go only to realize the babe needed some solid food & a nap...couldn't leave the house yet
- I couldn't find the GPS
- I couldn't for the life of me get into our key-entry-only mail box
- I *almost* went the wrong way on a one-way street (twice)
- The store was out of the good deal coupon item that I was there for
- I *almost* hit a car that I didn't see parked on the side of the road
- I found the GPS, right where Mr. H said it was...just minutes after I got home
- I unwrapped my newly acquired photo frame...but couldn't get the sticky sticker off of the glass
- The wrapping from said frame *almost* caught on fire since I was working on that project a wee bit too close to the lit candle
- Mr. H had a social engagement for the evening with his new work pals...leaving me at home without adult interaction for even *more* hours of the day
- I felt alone and sad to be in a place so far from familiar
- My favorite pair of jeans has a hole too large to repair (on the rear)
- I *might* have a scar under my eye from a certain small person's finger nail attack
- On the first day that I have felt very glad that we will only be here for six months, Mr. H comes home to inform me that we most definitely have no definite guarantee for pretty much any kind of time frame (meaning: it is more likely than not that we will be here longer than 6 months=Wisconsin winter)
*sigh*
So we all have down days, right?
It's been a challenging day...tomorrow WILL be better!
NOW, I will endulge in freshly baked brownies and vanilla ice cream...
What do you do to cheer yourself up when you are having a down day?

Oh baby, do I understand! I usually feel better after a good nights rest. And reading scriptures. :)
Just woke up--pretty good night o' rest (crazy dreams, though!) and had some quality scripture reading before bedtime last night...today will be better!
The next time I see some snow shoes in your size, maybe I should grab them. Snow shoes make everything better in the winter.
I am speaking from personal experience.
If the prediction comes true (being here through winter), we will definitely be in the market for all things snow shoe-ish! I am completely oblivious to what this kind of winter really means!!
my favorite scripture in the Book of Mormon.. "and it came to pass.."
i hope your week turns better with every day!
Eat, Pray, Breathe...
I pick up 25 things really quick.
I play music that makes me smile.
I remember that 'this too shall pass'
I count the blessings I know I have.
I try to think of the flip side/or good thing ( silver lining..)
if none of that works,NAP.
I do believe a Wisconsin winter is worse than a Michigan weather (sorry - but I have never been able to say that to someone before. We've always been the ones with the bad winters) So - I can totally commiserate with you say, somewhere in late November!
Look for snowsuits now - last years clearance!!!
But think of how much fun you and Baby J are going to have building snowmen, snowangels, throughing snowballs at Trevor when he gets home from work...you'll find a way to make it work and enjoy it. Promise!
