Bad mood

Friday, June 01, 2012

Don't you just hate when your doing ok then 1 little thing gets you in a bad mood that you just can't shake?

I went to bed I was fine, I woke I was fine. Normal morning stuff, get ready to go do some errands, stop to get gas and the card reader won't read my card and the bad mood settles in for a long stay.

One little thing started my bad mood that has lasted for four days now. One little thing! Why? Oh, and what do I do when I'm in a bad mood? I eat and sit on my large round bottom and eat junk. Why do I do this? It wasn't that big of a deal. It's not the first time and it won't be the last time it doesn't read my card. I didn't have a time schedule to keep. I had the whole day to myself. I didn't have little kids or any kids for that matter with me, to have to deal with. So why?

I have an absolutely wonderful life. I have a husband that does not care how much I jiggle when I wiggle, how much grey hair I have and that wants me to be a stay at home mom - even though our kids are 17 and 21. I have a car that gets me where I need to go. I have a house that keeps me warm and dry (and cool in the summer). I have food and clothes. I have a very large family that loves me. So why do I let one little thing ruin 4 days of my life?

Hearing others problems and how bad it is for them, and some are really, really bad and I let a card reader ruin 4 days. How stupid am I??? It's a stinking card reader! It's not cancer, it's not a gunman, it's not death. It's a stinking machine that reads your debt card! It has no control over me, but I let. I let it ruin 4 days of my life. I let it control me. I let it rob me. I let it take time away from my family and friends. What a very stupid thing to do.

God has only given me so many days and I just wasted 4 of them because of a card reader. WOW! It sounds like I need to get my priorities straight.

    I work with card readers all day. They are enough to make all of us crazy.

So it's done, Get up and get going, tomorrow is another day.

    It happens to all of us at one time or another! Just don't let it go to 5 days. Just smile. Fake it till you make it!

    I don't know if you are like me, but sometimes if one of those card readers won't work, I start worrying that maybe my account is overdrawn or something like that. By now, I am more aware that some card readers are just being ornery or something like that. The crazy thing is that one time it refused to read it as a debit but would read it as a credit. I was annoyed since the place charged more for credit sales! So I "punished" them by only using cash for several weeks there!

    I know the feeling - it stinks!
HEY! At least you realize what happened - and maybe you can see it again next time you start to get in a bad mood. Sit, relax, breathe, and try to look past it!
Good luck!
