Today at work, one of my cube neighbors stated that her children are trying to kill her. She's had a bit of a rough week with her children, with various sleep issues and toddler behaviors.
"Aw, come on," I said, "if my kids haven't killed me yet, you know there's hope for you. Hang in there."
That which does not kill us makes us stronger. And the past month or so has shown me that there's a pretty decent amount of what life can throw at us, but that we muddle through. I know I'm not Miss Mary Sunshine all the time, but I try to roll with the punches. So, when I got an email link from Mommy Track'd, letting me know about Pepperidge Farms' Fishful Thinking campaign, I figured I'd give it a shot. Things are not always great for my children, and they all get upset about the things that happen. But they survive, and they find the happy spots where they can, and I try to foster that. Besides, who can stay grumpy when eating Goldfish? They are the snack that smiles back!
I can. When I'm in a bad mood, I feel like the fish are smirking, mocking me.
