Day 63: Weird, Weird, Weird

Life has just been weird since the bed bugs hit our home, but it has been intensely weird since yesterday.

First, I am very thankful my husband replaced all of our electrical plates & light switch plates and hooked our Internet up last night - this was after being at work all day & then attending the pine wood derby, all without being allowed to come home.

I sat up last night  to post, but it saved it as a draft instead of a post. Weird. I obviously was not thinking straight!

Today, I have felt completely out of step. Little things have bothered me. I have taken offense to things that are truly not important. And I can feel a very strong, irrational irritation rising inside of me.

If I bother to check the calendar I would probably see it has something to do with my cycle...not that I use that as an excuse, but I tend to have pretty strong PMS. Sigh. The joys of being a woman. (please read that last as very sarcastic).

But I know the real, underlying problem - I did not wake up on time this morning to take care of me. I didn't stretch or walk first thing. I didn't take a quiet moment to read my scriptures or say my prayers. Yes, I did all of those things later, but...they are not as grounding when I do them later.

My  big excuse? It was still very cold in our house - the heat had to be off all day yesterday and we are having weather around the 10 degree Fahrenheit....it was sooooo cold last night. One of the few times I was thankful to have my youngest cuddled up next to me (she gives off heat like a furnace!).

Hopefully, this is lesson learned and I will get up on time no matter what....Well, we shall see.
