I learned my lesson for the day

Nov 16, 2011

I'm sitting here feeling really guilty. Guilty because I was in such a shit mood this morning when I shouldn't have been. It all started this morning when I was running late and my sister asked me at the last minute if I could take her to school. The last thing I wanted to do is take a 15 minute detour. I agreed but got pissed when I realized my car was totally on empty. Yet another detour before even dropping her off. Turning into the gas station, I remember to turn the radio to 101.9 just in case they had started playing Christmas music. They started around this time last year so I was excited when sure enough, it was there! I managed to crack a smile and enjoy it for a few minutes...

Until we get to the high school and I see the line of cars waiting to get in. Needless to say when I finally got on my way to work, I had only 10 minutes left to make it on time. That wasn't about to happen with the monstrosity that was morning traffic. So I call Ronnie crying, angry that this was "happening to me". I deserve some sympathy, right? But in the middle of my bitch fest, I get a call from my mortage lender who tells me that even though she said yesterday that my closing might be moved, it looks like I might be able to close today after all! Christmas music and now this? Score!

My mood turned when I finally got to my exit because my stomach's growling and there's no time to stop for breakfast. I'm already late and still have another 7-8 minutes before I get to the office! But driving along, I see a teeny thing moving about 20 feet in front of me. I realize it's a dog so I screech to a halt.. luckily no one was behind me. I call him over to me, so nervous that I might scare him into running into oncoming traffic, but he came right over! I scoop him up into my lap and he immediately kisses me. Melt my heart. I start bawling like a crazy preggo just so relieved that I was able to get him off the road! I immediately call the number on his tag and his owner met me within about 5 minutes. And like that, my bad mood of the morning was GONE.

So lesson of the day? Stop being so angry at all the petty shit! There is always something more positive after the negatives. (and lesson 2: wow, I can get REALLY bitchy.). Sure I was late to work but did that matter? No. I was being a little brat for no reason. There is too much to be grateful for, y'all and don't you forget it! :) Now, enjoy the pictures that I took of that sweet boy this morning. You KNOW I got a photo shoot in within that 5 minutes :)
