Today's been one of those “I'd like to stay in bed and read all day” kind of days. I've had no energy. I'm not very sociable or hospitable and I've “grumped” at the kids all day. GGRRrrrrrr….
My hubbie left today and won't be back until Thursday. He's got a really hard week ahead of him with lots of work. Neither of us like it when he travels like he must right now. Three weeks in a row is just too much. But it won't be long until vacation time! Yippee! A whole week at the beach. I can't wait.
We still are uncertain about some major life things right now. We are both trying to wait on God, follow His leading and be patient in the meantime. It's really hard some days. I try to remember the horse loading incident or Michelle's robin story. Perspective, perspective, Julie!! Some days it's just easier to give in and be a grump.
(Don't you wish you lived near me today??)
I've checked my email a million times today hoping for some inspiration, communication with another adult, or something to jar me out of the frumpies but alas it's 8pm, kiddos are in bed and I'm still Ms. Grumpmeister.
I hope tomorrow is better. I realize so often what a blessing all of you are here at HSB. You are my friends I get to take anywere I go. Thanks for listening, encouraging and sharing.
Following on the shirt tail of Fish in my Hair's story for the day somehow my 7 year old when told to brush his teeth tonight and get ready for bed hears instead: “Son, take a big cup of water, carry it through the house being careful to spill water EVERYWHERE; walk outside; pour said cup of water over your head completely soaking yourself; then, do it again; and look at me like I've lost my face when I ask 'What are you doing?'”
BOYS!!!! WHO CAN FIGURE THEM OUT?????
And dear hubbie, I know you will read this. Be glad you are traveling today and away from the Grumpmeister!! ( I love you and I miss you). God has a plan for us, I just know it!!! It might be witnessing to others in an insane assylum, but hey, we're working for the LORD!
JULIE alias Ms Grumpmeister
Julie, I hope you get a some downtime and a great night’s sleep tonight so that Mrs. Grumpmeister stays away tomorrow 🙂 I’m praying for you, girl!
Ahhh……boys, I can’t figure them out either. I don’t think I will ever understand why they do what they do. And why are they so loud and rough? Anyway……I need to figure them out with the 3 of them here lol…you too I guess 🙂
Have a restful night, Julie~Kelly
We all reserve a day or two to be a grump. Mine was a week or so ago when I sent TWO of my four children to bed crying. They were grouchy, but hey….mom’s got ’em beat! I was the queen of grouchiness. But, since life is cyclical…and it seems that there are some heavy things weighing on you….give yourself a break. You can’t be supermom 24/7.
Hope tomorrow will be “sunnier” for you. I remember how hard it was when our children were young and my dh was out of town.
Praying for you!!!

I think we can all relate and I know that only helps to a point. In our house our word is being a “Grumpalump”. That was the word my little brother ( not so little now 6’4″) and I made up when I was 13yrs. old and he was 7yrs. old. Did we fight and make our mom grumpy? 😉
I hope the day after was much better. Remember sleep is a “good thing” and makes the days better.
God Bless,
In Him,

LOL, Julie (er, Ms. Grumpmeister)! I have BTDT, a gazillion times. I am still praying for your direction. I have had a crappy day too. Here is to a better tomorrow, eh?
