Today I (and a few others) saw a side of me that I really hate to see.
It's the immature, not coping well, angry, spoiled, you name it, icky me.
It is usually spawned by absolute exhaustion - coupled with unmet expectations.
The kind of exhaustion that before you had kids, you could, at some point, get refueled.
But once you have attained this level of exhaustion, the only thing you can do to get refreshed is, well I don't know - when I figure THAT out I'll let you in on the secret...
Honestly, my parents have just about always been there with bells on for those moments, they step in, usually in just the nick of time, to save me from pure craziness!
The problem is - I acted like the me I hate today.
I did not want anyone I loved or even liked to see me in my irksome state.
There are witnesses. I am embarrassed. I need to grow up.
I need to sleep, a full night's sleep.
What will that be like?

Can't wait to hear all about your unacceptable behavior. Should I have a paddle handy? =) It's 11:15 - you can call me if you're awake. Hopefully you've gone to bed so you won't misbehave again tomorrow. That's just not allowed.....
I'm sorry you had a bad day, they seem to be going around. Get some rest, somehow!
I just love your new blog, when you change again in a few days, can I have it? Ha!s
Bad girl. After La's done. I want a turn punishing you. Time out. Your gonna be how old? That's how many minutes you will get in the naughty chair.
Hope you have a better day today. I also can't help but want to know what you did.
It's nice to know that everyone has bad days. That life isn't always perfect, we don't always love it, and that we all get disappointed. And we don't always react the way we should. We are flawed. It's ok. Love ya, my flawed friend.
I actually blogged what you are speaking of. It was seen by people, even commented on by la before I realized how whiney it, er, I was and deleted it.
Bad days happen! I am sure that no one thinks less of you. After you're punished by meems and la, we'll never speak of it again. Unless I need to blackmail you for some brownies.:)
everybody has bad days when they do not want ANYone to see them. sometimes a really good nap helps me. do you remember those. i promise you will get to have one of those again, when your kids get a little older. or you can bring them to me and i will take them and you can go home and take a really good nap and then when you come and pick them up, i will have supper ready for you.
did you say your birthday is coming soon? i love the fall too. my birthday is coming soon. we should go get that pedicure together.
well did ya at least get to stomp your feet and then suck your thumb while holding your blankey, comfortably pouting??
hope ya feel better soon - and yes, this too, shall pass. ;)
I'll all for "time outs" for mommies! Ok, A. This is really scary. We really are on some kind of wave length together or something. Yesterday was REALLY bad for me. I was on edge all day--ready to burst out into tears and rip into anybody who dared cross me. Fortunately, my husband didn't have to go to work last night, so I went to bed at 8:30. I still managed to embaress myself before the night was over. I really should just stay at home when it gets that bad.
I totally understand the bad girl attituded, I have had a few trips to my own personal time out here lately. "The Sun will come out tomarrow"
