Day 213 - Easy Come, Easy Go!

This morning was the best – well, when I woke up anyway…

I was up bright and early and as soon as Mr. Strong got up to get into the shower, I bounced out of bed, turned the music on the TV and got on my treadmill. I don’t know why this morning was so different from every other morning, but I WAS IN A GREAT MOOD!

I woke up happy. I woke up energized. I woke up and didn’t even question myself about getting up and working out. I put on my sauna jacket and got in a quick and dirty 2 miles! By the way my shirt was soaking wet, you would have thought I ran 10 miles! (I loved it!)

Anyway, by the time Mr. Strong came out of the bathroom dressed and ready to go, I am over there on my treadmill saying “GOOD MORNING! Let’s go to lunch today?” – which was followed by a look and then silence.

Picture this: I’m in such a good mood! I am happy and not bitchy for once and I am even inviting my husband to lunch and so forth…mmmkay?

Which was followed by this conversation:

Mr. Strong: “I don’t want to!” (on a completely different subject and I knew what he was talking about.)

Me: “Just think about how your good deed will be returned to you!” (I’m still trying to stay positive here…)

Mr. Strong: “”I’ve done enough good deeds!”

Me: “Forever? So your done!?” (now I am getting irritated as all hell)

Mr. Strong: “I had plans, blah, blah, blah, I wanna do what IIIIIIIII want to.”

Me: “blah, blah freaking blah – then DON’T DO IT! I WILL DO IT MYSELF!”

Okay, this conversation had me running the last half mile trying to get all my frustrations out as Mr. Strong left for work. It. Didn’t. Work.

I had about 1/10 mile to go and Kitty texts me that she is getting in the shower. She TEXTS me from the next room – 10 feet away! Okay…

I call her into my room and I know the long haul of 10 feet in the morning was such a journey for her and I tell (yell at) her that her daddy just left and I am trying to let the hot water build back up and NOT to text me when we are in the same house. She says okay and walks out of the room.

Wait for it…

She TEXTS me AGAIN from the next room and writes: it will be a quick shower.

WTH is wrong with this child? Did she not just hear the words that came out of my mouth?

FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time I’m done running and get the treadmill put away I think to myself: “I will take a cool shower because 1. I’m hot and 2. The hot water hasn’t had time to build up…

Okay people! Cool shower was out of the question – It was freaking COLD! There was no lukewarm/coolness to the water – it was ALL cold! So here I am trying to take a shower and wash my hair (cursing under my breath the whole time), and every time the water ran down my back I was yelping like a little kid and bouncing on my toes! I was shivering by the time I got out!

I get ready – get dressed – drop the girls off at their schools, drop Doodlebug off at daycare and arrive at work-griping and bitching the whole way. (The negative energy was running ramped.)

I open my office to find an egg burrito on my desk (wonderful surprise) from a coworker.

YUM! This changes my mood instantly. So here I am with this egg burrito thinking that I can take the egg out of the tortilla and put it on some wheat bread and have a much healthier egg sandwich – double yum – I just needed something to drink.

I convince myself that I needed a Coke because well, I have given them up so why not right?

I go upstairs get a Coke and some ice and come back downstairs to my office and start making my egg sandwich.

Awwwww, I can relax now. I can feel my mood changing back to normal.

Hummmmmmm……….Hummmmmmmmm….in through the nose, out through the mouth – just breathe.

Nope! didn’t happen. While I am fixing my egg sandwich I spill my Coke on my desk and it ruins the first piece of bread. (wet soggy bread is gross!) I reach for a roll of paper towels and as I tear some off I put the roll in my lap – only for it to fall off and roll down the whole side of my desk. Really?

I am trying to clean my desk off, salvage what little egg I have left that is not coated with Coke and trying not to yell profanities out loud where everyone can hear me.

What do I do? I roll back up the paper towels that were now scattered across my office floor only to tear a few more off and put the rest in my lap. As I lean forward – yep, you guessed it – they roll down to the floor again and across my office floor. Screw it! I just left them there and finished cleaning my mess. When I was done I picked up the stupid roll of paper towels and started rolling them back up AGAIN! Shish!

I sat there at my desk wondering how in the hell did this happen? I woke up in such a great mood and now look! It definitely was the Universe giving me a sign to calm the hell down! Not only that, it was a rush of all the negative energy that I was giving out after Mr. Strong left this morning that came swooping back to me all at once.

So here I am now, writing today’s post for therapy while my arms are sticking to my desk because of the spilt Coke from earlier.

I am learning. Every day I am learning how to manage the Law of Attraction. Unfortunately, it is mornings like these where I learn the most.

Lesson learned.

As a result, my great mood this morning? – well as they say, “easy come, easy go.”
