10/19/2005 Archived Entry: "working girl"

Today was one of those days I wanted to quit my day job. It's not that my children were being rotten or anything. The little one was a tad whiny but not that big of a deal. I just wasn't in the mood. I wanted to sit at my computer and work on my site and not be interrupted. Anyone with children knows how hard it is to do something without being interrupted. So I was getting frustrated and that made me short with the kids and neither one of them deserved it.

A friend and I hashed out our continuing frustrations in our quest to become Girl Scout leaders and that just made my mood more foul. I did not want to go to hula tonight, but neither did I want to stay home with a whiny baby. I went. Good thing I did. I spent the whole class outside in the freezing wind, but I spent it talking to a friend and when I left my mood had improved ten fold. Apparently a good, non-interrupted talk was just what I needed.

The ride home with the big one was very nice and she went to bed liking me again :)
