on bad attitudes

When you have a bad attitude, whether because you are STILL pregnant or because you stubbed your toe one too many times today, it is important to try a few tricks to improve your outlook.  Here are my suggestions.

1. Clean your stove top.  It's amazing how this makes you feel like you have a new lease on life.  However, if you nested all weekend and you and your husband spent approximately 60 minutes total working on said stovetop and it's spotless, you'll have to try another method.

2. Accomplish a task that has been bothering you.  Dust off your chandelier or fan!  Get on top of your laundry pile!  Change all the sheets in the house!  What's that?  You've done that too?  Moving along...

3. Incorporate bacon into your life.  Bacon is delicious and fatty.  Two things that should make your soul sing.  If you've done this and it still hasn't done the trick, move to item number 4.

4. Take a shower and get pretty.  You don't feel like it?  Neither do it.  Let's rock the messy bun and yoga pants look out, girl!

5. Eat some chocolate.  Oh right.  You already ate it all.  That explains the exponential growth of your derriere.

6. Get out of the house!  It's another polar vortex, did you hear?  Doesn't that make you want to haul your whale-sized self out into the world to walk around the mall and dream about the clothes you don't fit into, or hit up the grocery store for either yogurt pretzels or the necessary ingredients to make rice crispy bars that your husband will not eat because he's started a new diet?  Me either.  But holy marshmallows could I go for a rice crispy bar.  Double the marshmallow.  

I see that I'm getting no where with this list, as you're being particularly stubborn today so I'm giving up.  I might suggest you do what Lady did and just go back to bed. Good luck!
