A series of events – some more insignificant than others – ensured that by the afternoon I was ready to curl up in my bed and wait for tomorrow. Something I am quickly learning, that as a parent you cannot do.
To cheer myself up I grabbed the camera and headed out for a walk. I would take a picture of something that made me smile.
Unfortunately nothing was working, other than a couple of old ladies BB flashed her gummies at. One of them told me that these days babies are much cuter. Hers weren't as cute. That made me giggle but I couldn't really explain to them that I have this blog and I was on a photo excursion and could I please take their picture.
So that's it. A rather grim post and I do apologise. I'm feeling much better now. Partly because it's almost bedtime and partly because I had a mammoth dance-a-thon to Beirut earlier on. It's amazing how quickly and easily some accordion music cheers me up.
A good boogie always helps revivify! Fingers crossed tomorrow is on the good day list.
ReplyDeleteI danced to thriller all day... yep all day. I had it going on. I too had to dance to make my day better. It was how I started the day. So tomorrow pop on that music and I will do some moon walking with you! Is it sunday again?!!
ReplyDeletelove xx
I agree. A spot of crazy dancing always lifts my spirits.
ReplyDeleteThe only way is up. The only way is up. And if in doubt, chocolate is the way of the future.
Hey - would you like a Fisher Price baby swing? You know, the red one?? If so, I've got one coming your way!
too true! it's a surefire way to forget whatever you were worrying about. beautiful post as always. xox
ReplyDeleteChin up sweet girl, yeah, there's always tomorrow. Sending hugs and kiises from Swissyland.

Absolutely, dance those worries away!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping tomorrow brings something happy to make you smile xx
I'd just look at your babys- she is so adorable she made me smile!- I hope tomorrow is better for you!
ReplyDeleteYep, we all have those days, but mostly the good outnumber the bad ... I think the dancing was a very good choice ... nothing like it !!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very good day tomorrow. XXX
I know too well what you're feelin. Good news is, tomorrow is always fresh! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's my favorite song ever. Isn't it perfect. It has a great video. http://vimeo.com/3621787 It makes me smile every time I watch it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, some days are good just without any good reasons and some days are horrible just without any good reasons either. So when I have a lucky day I just try to finish all my work on that day :) Good luck with the days!
Mmm i like Beirut. Hope your spirits fly higher! Big hurrays!
ReplyDeleteI love the honesty in your posts, and we all have good and bad days whatever our situation. Hoping you are waking up to a great day ahead.
ReplyDeleteoh chicken, poor you. Whenever i'm having a bad day I always acknowledge that I'm in it and obviously need to learn something. And of course, tomorrow will be brighter. we can't have joy without sorrow - that is nature. x

ReplyDeleteI hope you appreciate the ridiculous randomness as much as I do ;-)
I hope you have many more good days to make up for the bad ones.

Beirut is the best for dancing the blues away. Bless old ladies! *s*
ReplyDeleteHi There Anna,
ReplyDeleteIt's Kirsty writing from summery Canada (you sent me some links to Aussie children's shops a while back). I took a listen to Beirut and I just buckled @ the knees and started to dance. I want to recommend a lovely Canadian singer you may enjoy some sporadic hand clapping to. Her name is Basia Bulat. Below is a link to her myspace page but I recommend listening to BEFORE I KNEW first to fall in love with her sound - I hope you enjoy her as much as I do:
