Bad Day, Bad Mood

I really was hoping to have something else to post today, but that apparently was not to be.  I’ve had a very aggravating day, way too much time in the heat and challenging children.  So I thought I’d share this card, quite appropriate under the circumstances.  

Bad Mood (Sorry)

(We’ll assume this is a ‘she’ since ‘she’ has little heart-shaped lips.) 

I think she’s had a bad day. 

It probably started when she was making her daughter’s bed to find that her darling child had used a black ball-point pen to add smiley faces inside all the flower centers on her Pottery Barn quilt. 

I’m guessing she was at the pool far longer than she wanted to be, her children probably wouldn’t get out of the water when it was time to go, and she was not wearing a bathing suit so she couldn’t jump in and drag them out by the ears.  So instead she probably had to stand at the edge, her expression a sign to everyone around that if those darling children didn’t get out of the pool at that very instant, she would be going “over the edge” afterall. 

Once they were finally home, dried and changed, and as a reward to herself for sweating for five + hours while those lovely children splashed, practiced and played, she made a little trip to Starbucks to get the caffeine she should have had coursing through her body hours earlier.  While there, her children probably spotted one of the biggest chocolate chip cookies they’d ever seen and threw a big fit in the hopes of coming home with one.  (I’m sure it didn’t work.)

After numerous other instances, I’m certain that at this moment, those children are sleeping soundly in their beds, looking like little angels.  And she’s down on the couch having a really big glass of wine.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back soon…at least that’s my plan.
