Better Day.....

(Camille as Batman playing the "football game!" How can you NOT love this?)
So today was a better day. I was thinking as I was applying my make up (in a bit of a rush) this morning that the best parts of my day are when I arrive at work and when I leave at the end of the day.... I know that's a kind of strange way of looking at it b/c it makes it seem like I don't like the middle of the day but that's not the case. I like the fact that there is some room for spontaneity in there to determine if indeed the day will end up crappy or one of the best yet! Generally speaking there are more of the latter but having a bad day every now and again is healthy if I am looking at things from a positive perspective!


I would have to say that my mood was definitely altered by the fact that I was able to work out this morning and my people actually woke up without resistance! I just don't know how long I am willing to play the "I want you to hold and rock me until I fall asleep game." Let's face it, I am exhausted when my head hits the pillow. I can barely make it to the weather report on the 9 o'clock news much less a chapter in a book. Even though my mornings start really early and the thought of skipping out on the gym happens at least once when I allow myself to hit snooze, I always remind myself of how great I feel after leaving the gym. Today was no exception. I wanted to sleep a little longer and even though I still felt pressed for time I managed the stress of it all much better just knowing that I had checked off one thing on my "to do" list.


I am writing this at work - the end of my day - the time of day that I look forward to. Today I carried less stress b/c I have figured out that managing my stress starts at 5:15am. Now I am going to go home to Batman Camille and her brother and enjoy the tantrums and the bedtime battle. But it's okay b/c today, overall, was a much better day.
