Sunday Six

I had a VERY emotional week, this week. It was just one of those... "I don't know what is wrong with me but something sure is" weeks. If something happened that made me a little mad, I got REALLY mad. I got REALLY sad like 8 times, I got REALLY upset 4 times and I was REALLY frustrated way too many times to count. Finally on Friday, Raleigh had had it. He came home early and took me to lunch at Chadders and made me talk until it all came out. There we were in the first booth so everyone in the restaurant could see us... he had his head against the wall and he never took his eyes off of me and I was talking 100 miles an hour and bawling my head off. Sometimes it just feels better to lay it all out and then you feel really stupid because the things you were upset about seem so lame now. Nevertheless, I will base my Sunday Six on why I feel almost completely back to normal.

1. I am happy that I am so happily married to someone who cares about EVERYTHING I think, do, say and feel. And who asks me to share them and who doesn't make fun of me too much and loves me even though I am almost clinically insane.

2. I am happy that I have a "CUSHY" job where I have amazing hours and I go in and don't work very hard and don't have to think too much and make a lot of money.

3. I am happy that this blessed Christmas Season is almost over. I am happy that six day work weeks are almost over. I am happy that extended holiday hours are nearly a thing of the past and that all those customers just may stay home for a couple of weeks and play their WIIs that they almost killed themselves to obtain.

4. I am happy that I get Wednesdays with my boy all to myself. They are truly what get me through the week

5. I am happy that my pulled stomach muscle has miraculously healed itself and I may be able to unload 2500 piece trucks ALL BY MYSELF again in no time.

6. I am happy that someone, somewhere invented Tylenol in really big bottles that a girl can pick up at Costco and put in her purse and take several times a day with a 32 ounce Diet Coke.

Sorry to the readers of this post... I get like this every year... Retail at Christmas time just plain sucks. But, if this blogging is an honest interpretation of life's events you must take the bad with the good. In two weeks, I promise, I will be back to my HOLLY JOLLY self.

I'm happy to hear that you're almost completely back to normal...that being clincally insane (according to you!) Sorry you had a rough week but it really will get better after the holidays, I swear, when you're in the retail business January 1st is the BEST day of the year!! Even now, it is a very happy day for me. I'm also happy you have a husband who really cares about you, it makes all the difference!
