Lacking

Did you ever have one of those days where you felt like you were just lacking everything? I had one of those days yesterday.

I was lacking energy due to lack of sleep.
I was lacking patience due to the lack of my son's desire/willingness to eat...or sit on the potty (it's early, I know)...or stop hitting me or his sister.
I was lacking compassion for just about everyone and everything because I was tired and moody...because we are lacking funds to do the things we want to do.
We have the funds to do the things we have to do...but the things we want to do we just can't swing.
I was lacking motivation to do anything because I didn't know where to start because so much needs done.
I was lacking any type of cheeriness due to lack of sunshine...what a gloomy day it was!
Hmm...what else? Who knows, but yesterday sucked.

Like always, when I have days like that, things look better the next day. It wasn't that I slept better (because I totally didn't). It wasn't like we won the lottery and our money problems are history. It wasn't like my son woke up potty trained, hungry and with no desire to hit anything or anyone...because that TOTALLY didn't happen (although, if it did I'd be REALLY happy!). No, the reasons I feel better today are simple.

1) I spent quality time with my hubby working on ridding myself of some stress...if you catch my drift. (I know...I know...eww TMI)

2) I cleaned my kitchen. Did you ever notice how a clean kitchen makes everything seem better? A shiny empty sink always makes me feel better. Must be a Flylady leftover ~ I couldn't keep up with that whole thing. :)

Can I just state for the record, that my husband's boss is a jerk. Do you know what he said to him last week after he (my husband) got rear ended on the way to work? He said, "You're having a lot of trouble with your truck lately. You know it's because you don't love your kids enough." WTF!?!?!?

First of all, this is a man who is about my age and has the arrogance of a 23 year old pup who hasn't experienced anything real (know what I mean?). This big jerk has been making these off the wall, ridiculous comments since Jerry started working there. He has no kids...he finally found someone to marry him in May (poor girl).

I'd like to give him a piece of my mind...but of course I can't because he is my husband's boss ~ something he likes to remind my husband of hourly. Not too long ago he started a conversation with my husband and when my husband made a comment this jerk responded with, "What a waste that was. I wish you'd just say 'Yes ____', 'Whatever you say ____' If I really want your opinion I'll ask for it." Stupid jerk.
