Aparently all days can't start out as good ones!

But I have the power to change that, right? No I am not really asking the question, even though it looks and sounds like I am. I know that this to shall pass and in the major scheme of things, today's rough start is sooooo minor. Nobody likes to wake up to fighting children on your last day off from work, especially, when you know that they know, if they get their schoolwork done and their chores completed, they are going swimming with mom, cousin Tommy and cousin Emily and as a bonus get to see cousin Cari and get haircuts! So I must sit and relax and breath in and out that
1). I am grateful to have two healthy brats. (oops I meant children).
2) It is my last day off and I start back on 12 hours shift so won't see much of them for the next 4 days.
3) This change in our schedule has not only been hard on me and dad, it's been extemely hard on them, since they are used to having 1 or both parents around always and now we both work 12 or more hours a day.
4) Time is constantly running and soon they will be adults and fly like birdies out the door and on with their life so I should appreciate everything about them at this stage in their lives
5) This to shall pass.
6) So many people have so many bigger problems than I.
7) I am a fully aware and conscious human being and can and will change my attitude because I chose to be happy. (First I may need to be fully awake though)

Or maybe not, I feel better already and I may find the joy just around the corner.
