stuff and nonsense...maybe I should up my meds?
I had kind of a crappy morning. Most of it brought on by my own feelings of insecurity and guilt and then exacerbated by tiny little things that no one has any control over but still irritate me. And I've got a sick kiddo here who I got sick and you can imagine the level of guilt going on THERE. Ugh. How did I go from loving my life so dearly the other day to wanting to just kick it all to the curb this morning?

This afternoon is going better and I can laugh at my ridiculous attitude. Ah well, we will all get well and next week is the LAKE!!!

I was thinking the same thing, especially towards the end of the list where everyone else has a wasteland. :)

Wow, you're a book champion!

I think most of us go through that, the times when we love our lives, we really love them, but when we're in the thick of the bad times, they push the good times out of our minds so for a little while we just see the unhappy stuff.
