You know those days that are just plain hard and you wish you could either start over or just get through the day faster. That’s how Sunday was. I felt like I was failing at everything I was trying to accomplish. My kids didn’t want to get ready for church. My boys kept fighting or pestering each other. I was trying to pack to leave right after church to go on a vacation, but no one was wanting to help. My husband was at a ward conference and then had to leave to travel to the place he needed to be to start work. The kids were SO hard a church. I gave my lesson in YW’s, and it didn’t go as well as I had planned. In fact I almost wanted to walk out half way through, it was that frustrating. I just felt stressed and overwhelmed.
Oh and to top it all off, on my drive up to visit family I was talking with my mom on the phone, and although I had my speed set on cruise control, I was telling her a story I was stressed out about and realized I had my foot on the gas and that I was going at least 10 over. I hurried and slowed right as I saw a cop who gave me a $90 ticket. That was like the straw that broke the camels back. I was so glad to get to my moms with my five kids and just relax and eat a yummy dinner and visit family!
That night Deseret Book had emailed me this new episode of Pretty Darn Funny to watch and it gave me a good laugh and helped me remember that things don’t always work out, but to have a good attitude about life even if things aren’t perfect.
You have just got to watch it, it’s pretty funny! (darn funny hehe)
Things got better and we are having a great time visiting family now. Our last vacation before we really have to get home and get back to school! Yeah!! Hope you guys are having a fun rest of the summer.
I can relate to this one because it has happened to me more than once. I hate the ticket part of it. I am afraid I would have been in tears as the office wrote out the ticket. I am glad you have had a moment to just relax and enjoy some family time. It is good to find humor in it all.
Blessings and thanks for the video too.
