Poor Jeff! I woke up this morning and was instantly grumpy. I had no reason for it; I just didn’t wake up ready to greet the day with a smile on my face. Jeff was the closest thing to me, and unfortunately I took it out on him. I know he knows that it had nothing to do with him, but it still bums me out.
I’ve been trying real hard to see the positive in things. I think that I’m naturally a pessimist, but I’ve wanted a brighter outlook on life, and so I’ve been trying to switch gears and be a ‘glass is half full’ kind of girl. I really do believe that our happiness in life has to do with our outlook. If I’m always going to be the kind of person who focuses on the negative in every little thing, then how am I going to notice the good stuff?
Don’t get me wrong, it is a constant challenge for me to try and live this way. I have days where nothing goes my way, and I just want to dwell on the negative. But what good is it going to do me? Will it make the situation any better?
I guess that’s why I felt bad about today. I guess it’s okay to have those kind of days, as long as they are few and far between, I just don’t like to waste my time being grumpy, or having to apologize because I snapped at my husband!

Oh Annie I wake up all the time on the wrong side of the bed and Jarred, somehow, still loves me. And if he wakes me up before I'm ready, God help him. And if someone wants to talk to me for the first 30 minutes after waking up, God help them too! As for the negative crap, it's just so much easier and sometimes more fun (depeding!). We have a natural tendensy to debate, argue, down, then to smell the roses! Plus negative things usually make way better stories!
I know we're all allowed to have bad days, I've just been trying really hard to have a more positive outlook on life, and it sucks when I wake up grumpy!
