Positive thinking was a failure (Tuesday)

Get up and think; Today will be a wonderful day, boy was I kidding myself! It has taken me till now to gather enough energy to even think about blogging it.

Have had a lot on lately, the stress of day to day stuff keeps mounting, so I decided the power of ‘positive thinking’ would help.
The lack of sleep was a little hard to shake off, but the positive spin on this was I got a LOT of cuddles from bub… all night.
Make a coffee, to find we have no milk…. or sugar - yes I need to go shopping, decide that this is great for my diet that I’m yet to consistently start.
Start making lunch for the kids, and we have no margarine, and only 2 apples for 5 school kids, notice that the fridge is leaking and that I forgot to turn on the dishwasher at bedtime last night.
My positive thinking is dwindling rapidly with screams from the children that the gas has run out and we have no hot water. I guess the positive there is that for once it didn’t run out when I was in the shower! :)
Youngest is tired, her determination to not sleep at night results in a grumpy little princess all day, and her screams are at the very least consistent. She might be a rock star in years to come with such powerful lungs.


I had a couple of meetings at the high school, but I must talk a foreign language, as I felt they didn’t understand the questions I asked, and I left more confused than I arrived. Positive here was I agree with DD that this teacher is in a world of her own; always nice to have something in common with your teens :)
Come home, and go to the toilet… (yes I know, TMI)… but this is where my day went down the drain… my mobile phone drops out of my pocket as I stand and flushes away!
Toys DON’T flush, food that you don’t like DOESN”T flush, Toilet rolls DON’T flush, but mobiles DO!
All my contacts, photos, music, and cool messages GONE! To make it worse, I haven’t saved any numbers anywhere else, they were ALL just in my phone… (So if I did have your number… I don’t now)
Positive… Hmmm … NOTHING, there is NO positive to flushing a phone! Now I pay out for a plan I can’t use, I don’t know if I should scream or cry, bub is screaming, and this time I can really relate to her feeling of frustration.
Have a couple more school meetings that were no more informative than the 1st, and do all the running about we regularly do after school.
I’m sure every idiot driver was out as I got stuck behind a few; if there is a big gap, you can GO… you will never get a gap where you can see no cars at all. Very frustrating when you are on a time limit.
Mentally and emotionally exhausted I decide to get take away for tea, and we go to Maccas, order , go home, and we start eating to realise they forgot the meat in the burgers! HOW do you forget the main part of a burger is beyond me! I couldn’t be stuffed fixing this issue, any other day and I would have rang them, but this day… I just wanted it to be over.
This was a day that I don’t wish to repeat… I don’t feel positive thinking worked as well as the literature implies,
Do you think if I tried the power of negative thinking my day would be better LOL
