Feeling a Little “Grouchy Smurf”

Do you ever have one of those days?  I’m having one of those days when I’m just on the verge of being a little grouchy, but instead of it sneaking up on me, I’m totally aware of my grumpy tendency today.  I don’t know what the cause is.  I can’t pinpoint anything that has made me lean toward the grumpy side.  Granted, we did have another of our arguing trips home from school.  Everybody’s fine when they get in the car, but in the 7 miles between school and home they get on each other’s nerves.  A little of that can go a L-O-N-G way.   As I’m typing, all three girls are (for the the first time today, seemingly) getting along.  The twins are playing on the keyboard and singing, which in itself is one of the most beautiful and happy sounds I could ever hear.  Add to it that Addie is currently in her pajamas with a fancy stocking cap on, and really, how could I be anything less than pleasant? 

I had a nice afternoon doing “Christoga” with my exercise buddies.  It was a slightly cheesy Christian yoga DVD that was really pretty fun.  I loved the “holy rollers” – yes, you had to be there…  I’d recommend it, but I suggest you keep your eyes closed.  It’s slightly less odd that way…

And, in light of my grumpy day today, I’m posting one of my favorite end of the day songs.  It’s a great one - “Red Sky” by Brandon Heath.  Listen to the words, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.  Here’s to “the promise of a better day to come.”
