One of Those Days

That’s how I woke up today. Not sure why, but I really wish I could have gone back to bed and slept the day away. But, unfortunately reality set in and I realized that my wish was not possible so I decided to make the best of it.

Considering how I was feeling, I was able to get a lot accomplished today. I helped in the office like I do 3.5 days a week, I wrote out my menu for the week, clipped coupons, went shopping for the menu meals and schooled my children. Hmmm, now that I look at it this post, I realize I was actually quite productive.

I wrote a post on my health blog, regarding natural solutions to menopause. Now, I’m not saying that I am experiencing those symptoms, but today sure felt like I was. I took my own advice and tried to relax, but those sneaky, horrible hormones kept resurfacing. It’s amazing how evil a woman can get when the hormones are raging. I mean, I can almost sense it coming on and can’t seem to control it. I usually start the day apologizing to my children for what I may say or do throughout the day. My little guy usually calls these days the ‘mommy crazy days’ and sometimes that’s exactly how I feel, ‘crazy’!

But, I must admit I had a ‘proud mama’ moment today amidst all the chaos. My oldest daughter insisted on going grocery shopping with me, which of course meant that I was going to go over my budget. Surprisingly, I managed to stay within budget, sort of. (don’t tell my husband) But, my ‘proud mama’ moment consisted of riding in a vehicle that my teen was driving. YES!!! My teenage daughter is now driving!! My teenage daughter is now driving!! I can’t believe it!! I thought I would never be able to sit next to her while she drove my vehicle, but amazingly enough, I was quite calm, which in turn made her calm and it was very enjoyable.

Now, I’m not sure I want to be in the same vehicle when she is driving on a highway and driving at a speed higher than 30 miles per hour, but only time will tell.

So, as you can tell I had a productive day. I grew a few more gray hairs, but I survived. Mommy survived one of her ‘crazy days’. Yay!! Now, let’s see what tomorrow brings.

The Chronicles continue…..
