Well, I got myself to feeling like an old sock tonight. " Wah, wah, no one appreciates me. No one acknowledges me. At least my husband could look at me and smile, at least my kids could clean up without having to be asked 20 times...Blah, blah, blah" Then instead of shutting up, I complain to my husband who has been getting up at 5 a.m. everyday and working 7 days a week. This is our busy season for work! Anyhoo, that went over like lead. Now I am kicking myself in the butt and counting my blessings. Here is how I feel now,when I've remembered to be greatful and have let go of my silly expectations:

you look great as a happy sock...:o)~
i do the same thing though. i know my husband works hard (and it's his busy season too) but my favorite line to him is that i don't get to "come home" from work and relax... i work all the time!!
it's easy to get frustrated sometimes and like you, once i start looking at what has went right.. i feel like.. well .. like a happy sock!
joy comes in the morning!
Girl I had problems with this- this morning.Keith has a commercial job going on in Mississippi over two hours away. That means money for us. This morning the alarm went off and that meant it was time for me to fix him some breakfast. I have had at least 3 nights in a row where i have not had a good nights sleep. I was sleeping deeeeep when the alarm went off. Can you say cranky? Yep, that was me. And when I saw that the clock on the microwave said 4:30--I was feeling like a acting like a spoiled rotten brat. Did I conceal it? Some. Sorry God. What kicked me in the butt was the fact that he was not getting up at that time for a hunting trip--it was for us. Did I feel like a heal? Yes!
I will try to do better next time!
I burst out laughing, and my middle child came running!That's funneeee!About the sock of course!
You have a good attitude though!!!!
