Dear Diary,
Today while walking in Walmart, I happened to pass by the cosmetics section and saw myself in a mirror. I noticed that I had remnants of my daughters breakfast in my hair... that I had given her 2 hours previously. I tried to not feel guilty for wearing my pajamas to Walmart (I mean lets be honest wearing my pajamas in there is like wearing a suit and tie), but the food in the hair was a bit too much.
Speaking of too much, my neighbor's dog is becoming too much. The constant yapping was one thing but the giant shits all over the yard and driveway, not okay. I deal with enough shit around here on a daily basis (literally). I really don't need to add Mr. Colossal Poo to my list (by the way what in the hell are they feeding that dog, a live turkey? I mean these 'presents' are ridiculous).
On a brighter note C said her first word today, unintentionally I assume (If on purpose I am so getting her ass on Ellen). She said 'momma'. I know these are words and sounds young babies often say unintentionally but I couldn't help but smile. I can always count on her to bring me back into focus and humble me.
So Diary what did I learn today? Not to sweat the little things. There are a million things that can throw us off or put us in a bad mood (like stepping in your neighbor's dog shit while trying to get to your car). But there a million and one things that can make all those annoyances go away. So when those negative thoughts come again, and no doubt in my mind they will come again, I will replace them with positive thoughts of the moments that bring me pure joy.
