Think positive

Kids do silly things:

  • Tonight for supper I made chicken noodle soup for the kids - after Pan ate his, he had a little broth left in the bowl - he stuck his hands inside the bowl - when I asked him why - he said “My hands were cold.” WTH?

**************************************************

I woke up this morning, and told myself - “Self, this is going to be a Fantastic Day!” (See, I’m really trying to have a better attitude!)

I turned on the news, and slowly, one by one every school in our part of the state started canceling school. Except for ours. We were under a winter weather advisory - between the wind, the temps and the expected snow fall it was going to be a nasty day. Still I said to myself - “Self, this is still going to be a Fantastic Day!”

I got the kids up and slowly but surely they got dressed, ate some cereal, fed the dog, let her out and we got ready to leave for daycare/school and work. The morning is going pretty well - and I say to myself - “Fantastic day this is!”

I drop the kids off at daycare, find out that school will be getting out at noon - still a great day - as it will still count as a school day.

I sat down at my desk, started on my stack of work, emails etc. and then the wind picked up, the snow came (sorta), and the temperatures dropped. So I made some tea, and thought to myself - “Self, This positive thinking stuff is for the birds, I’m cold, no amount of Tea is going to warm up my hands and feet” - So would someone please turn the heat back on, and turn off the fan.

    Seriuosly…it was like a snow hurricane here. Although SD was all upset that we didn’t get the predicated allottment of snow so he wasn’t able to plow. Poor baby.

    I’m positive that positive thinking doesn’t work.

    It is definitely hard to be positive when you have to brave the cold winter weather.

    LOL at his cold hands.
