Good cuz I felt like I was a downer. I am highly empathic and can sense his emotions on top of my own and it's just driving me up the wall. Will make a good art journal page once we are past this.

I'm the same way. But chat away, it's a great distraction and being there for others always makes me feel better. I imagine you're the same ;)
 
my guy still asleep, he not gonna like i run out of space on backup drive and didn't sleep last night.
 
I'm in AE's OLW class...and it helps me to remember to "shine"...so when I start to have those feeling, I just look at my quotes and work on my OLW pages...it helps a lot...plus, the class keeps me motivated
 
Usually I just keep myself to myself (in bed) and catch up on some tv. It's best for everyone around! Usually the next day the grumps will have passed.

What is AE and OLW?
 
AE and OLW is Ali Edwards and One Little word. I've had a girl crush on her for like ever. :) One Little Word is a project she does where she chooses a word for the year and then focuses on it and does various activities and pages about it. But of course it is deeper than that... just a brief description.

AAAHHHH.....love her!
 
I'm definitely in the "happy music" camp. Lately it seems like that brings me out of any angry or whiny funk that I'm in (and there have been a lot of those lately :giggle). Also looking through Pinterest and seeing all of the happy things I've pinned or checking out my favorite artist's blog or whatever. For me, inspiration trumps frustration.

Hang in there... and remember it is only a bad day and not a bad life (even if those bad days pile up on occasion). :) A year from now you won't look back and remember you were grumpy today. :)

Those are excellent points.

This thread is making me smile and less grumpy. All of you are amazing women and I'm so glad to be here among you!

great ideas and words. I needed to hear that too. Harder when hubs is home. No music -- TV instead.
 
Sorry you're having a grumpy day. I hope it has turned around some :) I usually turn to music as well, or a good book and keep to myself as much as possible. Sometimes a chat with my little guy helps me remember to find joy in the little things. I often think about this one time when my daughter was about 5 (she's almost 21 now) and I were walking in to school. I was grumpy because it was a rainy day and whining about it. She stopped, looked up at me, and said "But, mommy, if it didn't rain, there wouldn't be any puddles to jump in". I guess it really sticks with me because it helped me see that even when things seem bad, there's always some good to be found. Hope that tomorrow is a much better day!!! :)

That is a wonderful reminder! When my daughter wakes up I'll see what she has to say :) Poor thing is sick today and sleeping a lot.
 
grumpy days are like bra shopping to me...the worst

I will determine to start over some days, get in the shower, shave my legs, lotion up like a mad woman, and get a bit dressed up...it helps me to shake off the gloom of funk
I don't like me funky...it doesn't help the situation, just makes everyone funky too....lol

Yup exactly. DH went out to grade the driveway with his plow (redneck heaven here haha). He hates that job. I have a feeling my funk has something to do with it. Izzy is sick and sleeping most of the day. Poor little thing. I'm making sure not to be grumpy to her though.
 
Oh man... I was so grumpy on Saturday all day. It may or may not have something to do with certainly recurring monthly hormones.... sigh. I hate when I KNOW why I'm grumpy and I just can't shake. Napping usually does the trick for me, but that's not always an option. In this case we ended up playing some games with two other couples and drinking some wine and that was the ticket for me. :)
 
Scrap of course! lol. The creative process is my "me time" and it never fails to calm me, and make me happy. Hope you had a better day today!
 
I'm sorry... and I hope your day has gotten better! I find that whatever makes me laugh will make me happy. So... I look for things to make me laugh. Scrapping with a funny movie on, chatting with friends, having a Punny Text "Fight" with a friend or DH will keep me giggling. Hoping you found your thing!
 
I figured out what I was so grumpy. Came down with a nasty head cold. I'm always grumpy the day before. So know I feel awful but I'm not grumpy!!! Lol
