One of those Days

Anyone remember this book??

I loved it as a kid. I haven't read it in years, but I can still remember most of it. Something about Alexander getting white tennis shoes and his brothers getting cooler ones with color on them...anyways, today was not so hot for me. I've been in this funky mood all week, and things [or people!] are just not conspiring to make it better. I have never ever had a thick skin, but during weeks like this, it becomes thinner. Not only am I more easily hurt/offended, I'm also more easily annoyed/angered. This is a change because it usually takes a lot to make me truly angry [not just my teasing/I'm being dramatic angry]. This just in: people are shockingly mean and rude. And I want to tell them about it. But will I? Probably not. But I will tell them in my head repeatedly, will whine and vent to whoever is nearby, and I will feel sorry for myself. Yes, that is the kind of day I had today. Sad, huh?? Fortunately, I also ran into some truly nice people, you know, the ones that come along at just the right time and make you feel ok again. They helped to soothe my hurt feelings and made me remember that everyone really isn't against me after all. Thank goodness for them.
