I’m having one of “those” days. I feel like crap. Just call me Debbie Downer, which is totally out of my character. I’m always everyone’s crutch. After all, that’s how we moms roll. But today if you look at me wrong I just might cry (or bite your head off. I haven’t decided which will rear her ugly head…). My focus is non-existent and I can’t manage to complete a single project. And it’s not like I don’t have just a few (million) things that need to get done. Sigh….
So I decided to chill out and bake some chocolate chip cookies. Nothing like cookies to cheer me up, right? Well, I’m no master baker as I’ve proven to myself today. Who screws up chocolate chip cookies? I do. Oh well. They will taste good crumbled on ice cream 
Maybe the stars are out of alignment with my moon? I don’t know much about astrology, but I know that I feel very “off” today & just very drained. Like I can’t give anything more of myself. Hmmmmm…… Maybe just a classic case of Motherhood????
How are you feeling today? Do you have many days like these? I’m always chock full of great advise & kip quotes for others, but I’m needing a little kick in the pants today. What would you suggest to turn this frown upside down?
Sometimes you just have those days. The only saving grace is knowing that once you hit bottom there’s only one way to go and that’s up so here’s to tomorrow and it can only get better! Right! So have a glass and a toast to a new day!

Already feeling better! It was nice just to vent quietly (aka virtually) & not worry about taking it out on anyone else.

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one having a Debbie Downer kind of day – mine is the crying sort though. I know things will get better, but knowing it and needing it to happen sooner rather than later are two different things. Baking is not my forte…I forgot the sugar last time I made Chocolate Chip cookies.
Ah well…things will get better…they can’t get much worse…right?! Peace, Love and Wine.

Wow you’re the first person who has asked! I’m beyond tired today… another classic case of Motherhood.
I have more days like you described than I would like to admit! Generally a good cry and chat with a close girlfriend help me through it. Get some rest and I bet you’ll bounce back in the morning. Thanks for all of your humor (another little pick-me-up on my bad days)! It’s a shame there aren’t more of you to go around, huh?
P.S. Once I baked scones for the toddler group I was hosting- even though I had a sinus infection and couldn’t taste or smell- but my trusted recipe was missing. I decided to wing it since I’m usually a confident baker. I was horrified when the chairperson spat- yes SPAT- out her first bite!! I’d overdone it on the baking powder, which was the only thing the ladies could taste. (Not even ice-cream could have salvaged those bad boys… The birds wouldn’t go near them either). These days my friend Cha-Cha and I actually take pride in being domestically challenged. Drop by if you ever want to ‘wine’ or laugh with us!! http://noshopwillwedrop.blogspot.com
