How Time Flys By When You Are Having Fun. . . Or Not!

Usually Wednesday is one of my "Big Blog Post" days, as are Monday and Friday as well. However, today was a Wednesday that by rights should have been a Monday! It had all the hallmarks of what causes Mondays to be one of the most loathed and maligned days of the week. Why? Unfortunately for you, I'm about to tell you.

Reasons why today should have been a Monday:

A)My 4 year old is still sick and it has moved into her chest, meaning I was up half the night trying to ease her coughing and therefore I overslept.

B) At about noon-ish I realized that we were having friends over for dinner and I had nothing to feed them. A hasty run to the grocery store ensued, hampered by road construction and the realization that I had a DVD that was due at the library(those little boogers will eat you alive in library fines!), which my hubby had managed to somehow take with him to the office, which is (of course) the total opposite direction of the store.

C) While frantically shopping for dinner, with a sick and EXTREMELY cranky baby girl in tow, I get a text from the friends coming for dinner. Or rather not coming as their little boy is sick. . . probably from hanging around with my daughter, though they were kind enough not to mention it.

D) If you think dealing with clients is sometimes a pain, you should try putting a very cranky, sick 4 year old to bed. . . especially when they don't want to go.  And while doing that I came to the realization that her cough now is sounding "wet" which means a trip to the doctors office, which just so happens to be pretty much the only thing she hates more than going to bed.

E) To top everything off I realized that I had not done even a little bit of work today. . . including the blog post I was supposed to have put up.

 

So what is the exact purpose for this rather random jumble of hardships? I'm sorry my usual chipper self is momentarily absent and I'll try to do better next time. My daughter is usually a absolute joy to be around (and I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother:) I suppose my point is that even blatant optimists have an off day once in a while.  So go on, have your off day! It's good for you ......every once in a while. ;)

Some days are just like that...the brighter side is that they are not all like this. Hope your daughter gets well quickly.

Hey Phly, glad others have a time problem now and again. Hope dinner went well with the friends. Tell us the origin of your name. Very curious- names are very interesting to me.

Keisha - Thanks! I figure that having a off day once in a while is a small price to pay for all the good ones.

Bryan - Being chronically late for everything is a character flaw that I've learned to live with over the years, but today was off the deep end!

The origin is ...complicated. The short version is that I have had it for about 10 years (so a little less than half my life) and it fits me perfectly. The name my parents gave me, which shall not be mentioned do to it's being banned by the 8th amendment (the one about cruel and unusual punishment ;), is one of those names that kids get saddled with when their parents want them to grow up and be the President . . . or at least a Senator.  As for the actual origin of of the name Phly. . . Well, let's just say that it has to do with volleyball, really good hang time, amazing friends that understand being an artist gives you a different sort of cheerful soul, and high schoolers that for social reasons feel the need to spell everything a new way. The really funny part about it? The look on my father-in-law's face when he read my "real" name on the marriage license.  I believe his exact response was "Really?. .WOW!. . Ya, I like Phly better!" :)

John - Welcome! Here's the way I look at it: Without brussel sprouts we could never properly appreciate cake, so as gross as they are I don't mind eating them once in a while. ;)

I hope all this is behind you now Phly and that you can enjoy your 4th with DVDs returned, children healthy and mood back in chipper condition.  Happy 4th.
