One of THOSE days!

Today has been one of THOSE days. You know one of those days when you can't seem to do anything right. . .

I really dislike days like today. I started off today with about 50 things that I REALLY needed to get done. Things for Scentsy that I've been putting off, things to prepare for my Scentsy party on Saturday, balance the checkbook (figuring out he budget for lessons, Scentsy, and our home), normal everyday things around the house like laundry, dishes, dusting, trash, etc, and the list goes on and on. . .and on! Seriously, my to-do list is the longest it's ever been, I think. But, no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to get anything done. On top of all of that, I woke up sick with a terrible headache and cough, and then my husband and I had a dumb, really dumb fight over something so silly. Those fights always seem the worst anyway, but then I just get so mad at myself for getting so angry about something so trivial. I made it through the morning knowing the whole time that it would be okay. I would get some of the things done this afternoon while my baby girl naps. Well. She decided she didn't need a nap today! Yay!

So here I am at 3:30 in the afternoon having accomplished not even 1/4 of the things on my to-do list. Still have a headache, and wishing I could just snap my fingers and get everything done.


But, I could sit here and complain all day, so instead I'm going to forget the negatives and look at the positives. Remind myself to have a good attitude! Think about the good things. So here goes . . .

I did get a few things done and out of the way. I was able to stay at home instead of having to go to work so that I could be with my daughter. I'm having fun cuddling and playing with my girl(which is WAY better than the things on my to-do list anyway). My husband told me he had a date planned for us tomorrow night, time for just the two of us to get away! I don't have any lessons or activities scheduled this evening (so hopefully I can accomplish something then). My family has been blessed with health and God continually provides for our needs. I have a wonderful, loving husband who despite my failures and stupidity loves me anyway and would do anything for me! But, most of all, I have a Savior, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for my sins and rose again so that I could be with Him forever, who loves me no matter what I've done, what I do, or what I will do. What could possibly be better than that?!? And actually this list goes on and on . . . and on too!

God has blessed us so much but sometimes it's so easy to forget about all the great things God has done for us. Sometimes we just get a little caught up in ourselves and the little things around us and forget about the big picture and what is really, in the long run, the only thing that truly matters.

Thank You Lord for Your salvation! Thank You for reminding me today what's really important!

I guess my day hasn't been so bad after all when you think about it like that!
