One of those days....

I woke up today and like any other morning I went about my daily (day off) routine. Made the lunches, brought the kids to school, came home, walked the dog and cleaned the house. However I was having one of "those days", absolutely no reason for feeling like I was, I just was....I try to be a positive person as much as possible, but the truth is I have days where I don't even want to talk to someone (maybe that stems from a life in retail 😅)
When I get like this I start to over think and over analyse pretty much everything. I have nothing majorly worrying going on in my life at the moment, aside from the usual things people worry about (bills, work, etc) Maybe it's just "crazy lady hormones" that make me feel like this.

Since I've set up my page/blog, yes I have found its a great release to be able to express myself..I have prided myself on how honest I try to be (without disclosing every detail of life) but am I really just like the majority of some of the bloggers out there showing you what I want you to see or believe. In reality if I'm sharing details of my life my "OOTD" today would have been a picture of me, hair up in a mess, old pair of leggings on with a baggy jumper (because I'm always cold) and a pair of grey socks and no make up. Not exactly what you would call Insta-perfect.. but reality all the same. But who wants to actually see that? Yet I've put a gorgeous picture of our Xmas tree up on Facebook creating the illusion of a perfect day/evening.

Don't get me wrong, yes I enjoyed putting the tree up, but to be honest I also got frustrated with the kids for putting the decorations on, where I deemed to be "the wrong place". I also had a plumber in my house fixing the shower pump, this put me in an even worse humour, because it didn't fit in with how I perceived the "joyous magical event" of putting up the tree should go.

So to lay it out straight. Nothing is ever as perfect as it seems...
Life isn't always as fantastic as it seems in pictures....

It's okay to have a bad day, your only human and it could always be so much worse xx

I tend to indulge in a drink or two every now and again like alot of other hard working people in this country 

I wouldn't call myself a big drinker but is that REALLY true!! In Ireland it's not a big deal to head out and get drunk, its actually quiet normal and it's almost strange if you don't drink. Either you are on antibiotics or pregnant because it's hard to believe that anybody would want to head out and NOT drink in this country. Does that make us alcoholics??? We sure don't feel like we are but when you actually think about it......it's questionable.

After holidays myself and John decided to stop drinking for a little while. Now when you work hard all week and you don't socialise that much anymore, one of the only vices you have is a little drink at the weekend while you get chill out on the couch. So for us this is HUGE.

Now here is the really silly part. We decided not to drink until the 17th of September which is Yes.... only 17 days. A friend of ours is getting married and it would be crazy to go to a social event and not drink.! Wouldn't it? Which really makes me think that we have a problem  Why does two weeks not drinking seem like a massive task, it shouldn't be a big deal. So let's see how we get on, will we be able to last, god knows one stressful day at work could break us :))

I'll keep you all posted xx

P.S I've decided to give up coffee also........ So if you see me in the morning and I'm cranky, sorry in advance ;)
