One of THOSE days!

Home - I just love days that start out really, really crappy and end so great!  The time change has been rough on all of us and the boys and I have a cold.  Needless to say, mornings have been bad and not just bad but terrible, rotten, no good grinchiness! Grrrrowel!  This morning Jaime earned his 3rd time out in his life - thats how bad it was!  I say to the boys that each hour is a new hour and as time passes things usually start getting better but I didn't expect the greatness that I came home to!  Sure, the house is a complete mess and I can't remember the last time I went grocery shopping so we have zero things for dinner at our house - oh, and we didn't eat until 7pm but by turning on a little Bruce Springsteen on Pandora and having a tall-boy coors light we are sitting pretty at home.  The boys played by themselves and stopped their normal whining so I could get some cookin' done (Shepard's pie - not too bad, right?!) and the boys ate EVERYTHING!  WAHOO!  Clean plate club for two boys - they deserved an ice cream sandwich for that!

Running - todays run felt terrible.  3 miles on what is a warm day at 30 degrees and it was partly sunny - should have been nice, right?  Nope.  I started off freezing my fingers since its super windy.  My running club was clipping along at an unusually fast pace, 7:29s!!, and I was feeling tired, crabby and kind of mad.  We hit every stop light green so no breaks.  Argh.  When we got back I felt like I needed a four hour nap, sweatpants and a comfortable shirt - the pencil skirt, tight sweater, tights and 3.5 inch heel boots were NOT what I wanted to wear.  By the time I was done showering and dressed I was totally ready for bed.  UNTIL I went out to lunch afterward and what a great time I had.  Two diet cokes later and a great Rachel sandwich to eat and I was ready to go!  I love things that turn out bad but end up great!  I have a half marathon on Saturday morning - I'm looking forward to it!

Work - this morning I had a conference call that went for an hour for a two year project I had been working on that spans many cross functional teams across the entire Target organization.  I learned how to do a few things and when It was over i tried it and ooops....F'd the entire thing up after I had written the procedure manual and had it all set. OH MY GOD.  Back on a conference call to fix it.  We got it fixed only to find out that while I was fixing mine my secretary was also doing the same thing I had done and ooops, she did it too.  Back on a conference call to fix it and re-write the procedures ASAP.  Work started off shitty but by the end of the day I actually learned a lot and go it all fixed and ready for production.  I'm super excited  :)

Life is so stressful but I just love it when everything falls into place.  We have our ups and downs for sure but everything always seems to work out.  I'm a mom, wife, aunt, friend, daughter, grandaughter, professional, cook, nurse, planner, housewife, sister, runner, skier, firetruck and diggie driver, photographer, decorator and bill payer (among others).  Sure I'm busy but its a great life and I wouldn't do it any differently :)
