One of Those Days

food

Yesterday was ‘one of those days’.  You know the kind.. everything goes wrong without mercy.  That was yesterday.  [Monday… always on a Monday.]  I had grand plans of finding the perfect outfit for my first ever blog conference this weekend.  That did not happen.  I went to several of my favorite stores and walked away nothing.  I pouted and ate a whole box of hot tamales.  A whole box people!  

Found the perfect dress on clearance – in the wrong size!  One size too small.  
Make it to the post office – without an address on the package!
Paid my credit card bill – late!
First in line to get fabric cute – and no one around to cut it!
Take the kids to McDonalds to play, Ryley fills her diaper – only one wipe left!
Ryley finds the candy – on the table, knocks her chin as she falls!  
Two dogs in the house – one pile of vomit!  [And two sets of puppy dog eyes saying ‘It wasnt me!’]
GoDaddy site hacked – my blog [among 52 million others] is down!
and the icing on the cake:
Ryley grabbed my fat belly and said mommy has a baby in there!

There may have been tears in my eyes after that.  Not because she offended me, but because I am so stinkin nervous about this conference!  [What?!  The two dont got together.. I know!]  I know I put our life out there on the internet but I dont know if it shows the real us.. or me.  And that makes me anxious for meeting a whole bunch of people.  I cant even decide what to wear that will reflect the real ‘me’.  And what if people dont get my sense of humor?  Then Im really up a creek.  

Later yesterday when all seemed to be settling down, my brain decided it wanted to jump out of my head.  I had the worst headache ever!  I guess thats what happens when you eat a whole box of candy.  A whole box!  [What was I thinking?]  I asked Ryon to watch the kids and I went to bed at 8.  So instead of a blog post about my crosses or a delicious new recipe, Im sharing this.  My anxiety and my fears for this upcoming weekend.

    I think going to bed early was a great idea– hope you woke up refreshed and ready to face a new day. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and have a great time at the conference. Wish there was one near Denver, I'd be the first to sign up. Hope to hear next week that you had an incredible time!!

    Oh girl what are you tlaking about? You're amazing and everyone will see it. Don't be nervous, be yourself, be confident in who that is and ROCK IT girl! Self confidence is just that, SELF – you have to have it! No one, not even a cute outfit (although it helps) can give that to you. So be secure in yourself and your awesomeness will shine through for sure!!

    What conference, by the way?

    I feel you. I walked into a subway today with my shaven head (i cut it for kids with cancer) ; http://www.listeningratherthenspeaking.com/2012/09/giving-gift-of-lifetime.html ; There was a group of girls probably 8-14years old and they were questioning where I was a boy or girl. When I started to speak there was a look of “WOW” on their faces. I was telling the subway guy why I donated my hair and what it was for. The looks on these girls faces turned pale white. I walked out of the subway and the girl called me a boy. -sad face- I guess you can't get everyone to see your point.

    I am going to echo all the comments…you are going to be amazing at the conference. Because you are real. Instead of writing a “perfect” post, you wrote your heart. Have fun, and remember, everyone (or at least most everyone) else going is nervous too!

    Wish I could go to the conference and keep you company. You will be great – I promise! I have something I want to send you – I saw it and immediately thought how much you would love it. Do you mind sending me your address?

    You'll do great at the conference! My daughter rubbed my belly yesterday and announced that I must have a baby in there, too. You're not alone! (I bet many of the ladies attending the conference have had the same thing happen! Good luck!
