Today was one of those "special" Mondays. You know the ones... 'the car won't start because two helpful little boys left their reading lights on in the back' kind of Mondays. You have to sign your kid in late because of all the excitement. Under the judgemental eye of the front secretary, you want to suggest that there is not enough room under the "REASON" section to explain the tardiness... but instead you just put 'late' like all the other terrible parents. Then you stop into the grocery store to pick up a few things and step on the scale. After all, all of this working out and calorie counting should have made a difference by now. 3 pounds heavier you say??? Tears stream down your face as you stroll through the store. You throw in some ice cream for good measure. And if you've never had the privilege of listening to a child scream the entire way home for no apparent reason, you're missing out on a real treat! Sound like your Monday??? Okay, maybe it was just mine.
But, I decided it was better to keep working out and not give up-- I climbed on my elliptical and went to town. Afterwards, I hopped in the shower and saw this on the wall. It is the little things, isn't it?
LOVE IT...the note that is....
