As a child I had a Holly Hobby poster on my wall that had the words forming an arch above her bonnet "A friend who cares is a friend who shares"... but regretfully I have no wisdom to share with you about grumpiness other than to say "I hear you" and "I get grumpy too". Never would have thought about Holly Hobby as a means of lifting my spirits - so thanks for sharing that.<br />I find that I am most often grumpy when there seems to be little space and everything is racing too fast for me to catch my breath. That sense of losing control is overwhelming and the result is a grumpy me. <br />Hope you find some space and can slow things down a bit. Perhaps this is a time to review your "lists" and do some slashing... and most importantly move taking care of yourself up to the top.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131518522010494497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-78567035891026077352010-04-12T20:04:42.662+10:002010-04-12T20:04:42.662+10:00the grumpy days get sent to make you appreciate th...the grumpy days get sent to make you appreciate the good days even more. rock on holly hobbymichellehttp://midgeandjudy.typepad.com/midge_judy/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-84583155702273240802010-04-12T14:39:13.481+10:002010-04-12T14:39:13.481+10:00Live your 'Happily ever after'.

I understand the longing for something different & maybe longing is not the right word...<br />As wonderful as it is to have all these people we love so much in our lives, there are always times when it feels very overwhelming to make sure that they are all happy & cared for & there is just not any energy left for us. Sometimes it does take energy to feel happy. Sounds like you need a bit of time to yourself. It'll all fall back into place & you'll find balance. It's just that warding off the grumpies until then is not easy. Good luck!<br /><br />thanks so much for posting. you don't know how excited i get when your blog comes up in my reader! :)Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486764885085741235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-48938478625723595722010-04-11T22:55:20.848+10:002010-04-11T22:55:20.848+10:00It's in the air - I reckon.

Still today I had a lovely horse ride while Billy took the boys to the dump and tomorrow I am taking the boys to Cairns to the movies and then to stay overnight at the hotel with the lovely pool...they are so excited it just has to make you smile.
