What If Today
What if today...
You smiled at everyone you saw
You thought only positive things about yourself
You told someone "Thank you"
You paused to be thankful for something... anything
You treated everyone as if they were the most important person you were going to speak to all day
You looked at your To-Do list in terms of "Get to" instead of "Have to"
You took 5 minutes to do something you truly enjoy
You told someone you love them
You really listened
You let someone go in front of you - either in a line or in traffic
You cut yourself some slack
You did something silly
You did a chore for someone else?
You smiled at everyone you saw

With Friends Like This...
"You're so fat"
"Your hair looks terrible today!"
"You'll never be able to do that"
"That outfit looks just awful on you"
"You're a bad mother"
"You're not good enough"
"I don't think you can do this"
"You're too scared to do that"
"You're such a failure"
"You're not smart enough"
"You'll never be as good as so-and-so"
"You can't do anything right"

Right! I know, I wouldn't! Who wants to be around someone constantly putting us down and feeding us such negative energy all the time?
So... what makes us feel that it's OK to speak to ourselves like this?

October Goals: Update!
- Schedule a date night with Man of the House We went out to dinner twice, once with the whole family and once during the week which we said those didn't count as date night We never got around to scheduling another night.
Write everydayDo more reading- Do something "active" every day (see "30 Days of Activity") Ha!! This wa snot a good month to try to take up this challenge! Between being sick and the infected tooth incident - it never happened.
Work on Christmas presents- Work on holiday inventory for Queen B's Busy Work Got a few things done. A few more in the works.
- Complete "About" page for Queen B's Busy Work Nope. Just... nope.
Man of House's birthday!Clean carpetsFamily coming to visit!- Schedule some "me" time each week (bubble bath, give myself a mani and/or pedi, etc) Not every week, but I am getting much better about this!

Today was Today
Some days just feel like they need a long string of curse words. The Big Ones. Even the queen mother of all curse words. (you know the one I mean, I'm not gonna spell it out for you). It may not even be that anything terrible has happened. Or even that you're in a particularly bad mood or anything. Some days just have that sort of a feeling to them.
Today was absolutely one of those days. After not sleeping most of the night, I had to force myself to get out of be and go in search of a caffeine IV this morning. Failing to find that particular delivery method, I settled for a cup of coffee. The coffee didn't seem to help much. I still felt out of sorts and discombobulated. That sort of unsettled feeling lasted most of the day.
It was the sort of day to find a nice comfy hidey-hole and spend the day with a good book and a pitcher of iced tea. (or margaritas, if you prefer)
A day to put on some music and soak in a bubble bath until the water turns cold and your toes are all pruney.
The sort of day to lose yourself in a box of chocolates. Or a bag of cookies.
Some days just feel like "forget everything else and be nice to yourself" kind of days. Or something like that.
Today should have been one of those days. Unfortunately, today was today. And the To-Do list was a mile long.
Maybe tomorrow I'll be nice to myself.
