Today was definitely a Wednesday;

--Today was one of those "self inflicted" bad days. By self inflicted I mean my attitude was crappy and it was all my fault. I'm usually pretty chipper (except when I'm tired, then I'm just grumpy) but today I wanted nothing to do with anyone. So on antisocial days of mine, I use my ipod to drown out everyone around me. And my playlist today consisted of slow mopey songs, so my day ended up being slow and mopey.
     Looking back on today I feel pretty pathetic. I was running late this morning and that was enough for me to work with, so I did. I can't even remember what else made bothered me today except that I felt alone and like no one cared.
      So continued to spend the rest of the day not smiling and seeing the negative in everything. Then it was time for me to go to work and I moped along on an almost empty tank of gas. I worked at a the Clinton store today and I was just waiting for my car to sputter to a stop on the freeway. Work was slow and then it was finally time for me to lock up. So I typed in the security code, closed the door, stuck my key in, aand it wouldn't lock all the way. I was so frustrated with my day already and now this door just refused to be locked. I called my mom to complain because moms are good listeners, and she said that she would drive all the way to Clinton to help me. Once I hung up, I said a quick prayer and got the door to lock. At that moment I realized how blessed I was today. My mom was willing to leave home at 7:30 at night to help me lock up. Even if it meant we had to stand outside in the cold for awhile.
       On my drive home I decided to look at all of the blessing Heavenly Father had sent my way today.

• I got to drive Andrew Davis to school today and he is the sweetest kid on the planet. Everything he says is so sincere, and he always has a compliment to give me.
• Someone smiled at me today.
• My Psychology class was cancelled.
• Someone told me I was beautiful today.
• Someone told me thank you today.
• I had time to eat lunch before work.
• My mom offered to buy me gas tomorrow.
• Work was slow so I actually had time to read for fun instead of for school.
• My mom was willing to help me with some stupid lock.
• I finally got the store locked up.
• I listened to Good Old War on the way home.
• I came home and my mom had bought me chocolate; after I had been complaining about not having any all day. 
• I was a safer driver than usual.
• Even though I was late to class, I did get caught up on my sleep so I can stay up a little later and finish up some homework.

     There are more, just little things that I didn't pay attention to at the time, but looking back were there just for me. I feel so stupid for not appreciating all of this. But I'm so glad that Heavenly Father loves me enough, and forgives me for being stupid on occasion. Also for all that mom puts up with, and she still offers to buy me gas... or buy me candy. I love you mom!

(This is my mom. Pretty much adorable.)

Oh! There are 69 days till Christmas.
