CRANKY PANTS

Okay, peeps.

I might as well just go ahead and admit it:

I have been one full-on, no doubt about it, CRANKY PANTS this week.

Occasionally full of rage.

Very often, an emotional rainbow.

And SO VERY TIRED (which might be the source of all the crankiness, naturally).

I suppose it has to be said that I pretty much loathe January. Well. Maybe loathe is a bit strong, but it’s definitely my least favorite month. I have a bit of cheer for the refresh of a new year, but in general, January just feels like the month we have to get through until we’re fully back in the swing of things.

So…nothin’ to do but make it through. 

I’ve officially given myself until Monday to pull my act together. Luckily, I know all the tried-and-true ways to boost my mood, and I’m ready to deploy any and all of them this weekend (including the flowers you see below, lots of chocolate and the hubby’s top notch espresso, project time with my babies, some family snuggles, and a really good book).

So heeeeere’s to Mama giving herself one giant attitude adjustment (and the kiddos need a minor one, too), so we can turn this cranky frown upside down.

And will someone puh-lease remind me next January how rough it is—on parents and kiddos—to return to “real” life, post-holiday, ha.

Happy re-set weekend, peeps!

Over and out.
