Ever have one of those days where you're just feeling completely out of sorts? Nothing works, nothing fits, nothing feels right , people seem dimmer than usual and EVERYTHING makes you feel all wonky?
Me too. Right now, I'm on day three of one of those days.
It started on Friday. I was supposed to get on a plane to go to Florida. I was supposed to take my man to meet may dad. Instead, we got a bunch of snow dumped on us and we got stranded in Philly for the weekend. To be precise, marooned my little island of a house with nothing but cookies and movies to keep us company. (Thank goodness I'm not the least bit dramatic!)
Normally, a snowed in weekend would sound fun, but I was SO disappointed that I couldn't even muster the will to enjoy it. I tried...oh, I tried.
I watched movies, baked cookies, made soup, went for a walk, walked to brunch with friends, watched movies, danced around the kitchen, listened to music, talked to people I loved, and cried intermitently for 3 days.
My darling 4 year old neice got wind of my predicament and she came up with a solution, "Aunt Carolyn, do you think you might feel better if we came and picked you up and drove you to Grandpa's house?" It was the best idea I have ever heard and yes, it would have made me feel better. Alas, they live in Michigan, I live in Philadelphia, and Grandpa's house is in Florida. No such luck sweet girl. She tried...oh, she tried.
Poor Cody was there to witness the whole nightmare. He was such a trooper. He made me laugh alot. As he put it, he 'danced around like a drunk monkey' trying to cheer me up. He tried...oh, he tried.
But to no avail. There were moments of sunshine, but mostly I felt like a dark stormy cloud was chasing me around my little house raining on my little head
It's cool though, I hear we're only suppsed to get 10-12 inches tomorrow...ugh. Maybe I should try something else?
I Love being your "Drunk Monkey" babe. Anytime...but hopefully next time...we will make it to your dads...
