i'm going to have a lovely day

i'm using reverse psychology on myself and my fingers are crossed that it works. 

i woke up this morning already having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

i was about ready to pack up and move to australia.

the night before last, i was waking up every hour throughout the night. two or three times because i had a nightmare and the other times just from discomfort. 

then last night, when i was already sleep deprived from the night before, i kept waking up with chills and coughing. {please. i cannot be getting sick}

this morning, i woke up and my voice was gone {i'm sure the boys and mister will have no complaints about that} and my throat hurt like heck. {shit. i'm sick.}

it was six a.m. and the kids were already up and arguing.

liam's awake in his crib...and being very vocal about wanting to be taken out.

wyatt's whimpering in his crib...asking to be picked up.

i went to get some sort of medicine to treat my throat...only to walk to through the living where i was greeted with piles of laundry scattered throughout the floor. i folded and abandoned them last night.

i get to the kitchen...only to find that the table hadn't even been cleared from dinner last night and the sink was full of dirty dishes. who knows what distracted me after dinner. probably the laundry that didn't get put away either.

i go to my bathroom...only to find that the baby bathtub is still sitting on the counter full of water from the last time we bathed wyatt. 

holy balls, batman!

disorder does not even begin to describe the situation.

so i proceed to sulk....because that's how i deal with pressure, knowing that it all should get cleaned up before liam's teacher arrives at nine. 

needless to say, the mister was not very happy with me this morning. :(

when he stomped off to work and slammed the door behind him, i went and stood in front of the bathroom mirror, shook myself by the shoulders and screamed, "get yourself together, katrina!"

i guess it worked. because i feel fine now.

i got out of my sweats, put on a nice outfit and sprayed myself with my fave fragrance, inner grace, as i hurried out of my bathroom.

i took the boys to school, told them i loved them and wished them a lovely day.

the house is clean and liam's teacher will be here any minute.

and that's when i'll sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and maybe a dessert.

i will do everything that's on that list today and i'm probably already about halfway through.

i'm going to have a very lovely day.
