Boooo, I know how those days feel! Good thing is, a bad day is sure to be upstaged by a BETTER next day… surely? Josh looks like a total dude…. and that muffin/bakery look scrummy. Thank goodness for musical theatre and free bananas!

Oh no way Sayward, I’m TOTALLY with you here. My munchkin had collic. Horribly. The “Dear SWEET JEEBS 15 hours of nonstop screaming you kidding me?!?!” kind. And now, at 15 months, she’s still a bit of a tyrannical jerk to be honest. Empathy. I have it for you. Broadway/classic Hollywood are big hits in our house (as Mommy was a theatre major). So tap dance with the broom? Totally. Butt dancing to ‘Hairspray’? On it. And I double dog dare you to sing ‘Good Morning’ from ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ without a smile on your face :)

Now, now…let’s not be judge-y. I do believe some might classify you as an eco-yuppie. It’s all relative.

(nonetheless..a funny statement. And blame the death stares on all the parents who let their kids run around the store like whirling dervish maniacs. Trust me, I have perfected a death stare like none other for that.)

Ha! “The eco-yuppies were shooting patchouli-scented lazer beams from out their eyeballs at us…” – I could never have put it better than that.

One second you and your toddler can both be in tears (yep, in the middle of a maze…) then the next you will both be laughing hysterically at literally NOTHING AT ALL. How does that happen?!

Same with my little sister. Brutal little thing was always doing crazy things. She once rode her bike off the shed onto the trampoline (wearing her neon pink elbow pads and helmet!!) but then fractured her arm in three places after she fell climbing over a 4 foot fence.

Just hopped over from Peas & Crayons! Love your blog. It is so encouraging to see people raising their children vegan. We hope to have children in a couple years and I hope to raise them vegetarian! ( I don’t eat much that would be considered not vegan but I know I’m not a vegan, however, when I tell people I’m a vegetarian they assume I eat eggs and drink milk ..I do not ..lol)

“The eco-yuppies were shooting patchouli-scented lazer beams from out their eyeballs at us, and we barely made it out of there alive.”
I think the worst thing about a crappy day is when the jerks really seem to stand out. As a young adult redoing high school I get a lot of snide, and sometimes I really want to scream. I have had a complete stranger actually ask me, in regards to dropping out, “ohhh, did you get pregnant or something?” Um, no, and why does that matter? I hitched around the country, did some blockade stuff, got drunk a whole bunch and saw a whole bunch of bands and now I want to educate myself. Yes, it would’ve been a whole lot easier if I finished school a few years ago, but I didn’t and I’m improving on it.
I try to focus on the thought of duality and that a crappy day merely reflects an awesome day, and an awesome day will be much more appreciated. Hell, just getting home and eating dinner with my boyfriend will be much more appreciated. I always thought my mum was a bit of a ‘hard bitch’ when I was a teenager when she said “tough crap, just push through, you’ll be fine”, but she’s totally right. Ah, mum wisdom, only golden in retrospect! Going back to school has not only taught me academic knowledge that I mostly already knew, but how to put up with a whole bunch of stress, crappy days and jerks.

But, if I’m having a reeeally crap day, I watch the Wake Me Up Before Yo Go Go video, because it’s physically impossible to not at least smirk.

HA! Showtunes? My fave.

I do improv here in Phoenix, and my FAVORITE games are the ones where we burst into song.

Ha! That made me burst into laughter at work but nobody else got it : ( I can never get out of Whole Foods without someone crashing their cart into me and giving me the blank stare of doom!
