Did you ever have one of those days when everyone else's negativity and problems seemed to latch on to you? That was my Monday. Granted, I started out a little more tired than usual (two kids up last night and me sleeping on the couch), but I felt like I just absorbed every bit of negative energy around me today. Like a sponge!
A coworker needed help, and I got switched around to pick up some of those patients. No big deal, but I let myself get irritated about working in an inconvenient space (long story) and not doing what I expected to be doing. Normally, I pride myself on being flexible, but my funk is seriously messing with the "usual" of me. Next, another coworker needed to unload, so I lent an ear. More negativity coming my way. I tried to cheer her up and at least let her know that I understood, and I walked away from that MORE irritated about all the nonsense and drama that goes on.
To top it off, my hubby is really busy at work and stressing about things, and so I'm managing that whole drama as well. I tell you, I love my kids, but I am seriously looking forward to their weekend with my in-laws coming up. I need some time with zero responsibility.
All this manifested in me making a few bad choices today. I had some Starbucks after lunch, and after work I actually drove to the gym, sat in the parking lot for ten minutes, then drove home. I really should've gone in and got some of my frustration out, but I didn't.
Tomorrow is another day...

Hang in there, sweetie! This too shall pass :)
So sorry for all the B.S. It'll get better!
We all have those days - mine was last Friday (I cried at my desk). Hope the week gets better.
You poor girl. So glad you have a weekend kid-free break coming up to look forward to - that always helps me get through the long days. Hang in there!
Hang tough ala NKOTB! That's right. NKOTB!!
