Let the Universe Do Its Job
It was a rough start to the Best Life today. There was NO sleep had in the Land of Me, due to the most throbbing hip pain of my life. The entire night was spent trying to find a comfortable position, with an extra sweet Husbandio always making sure that I was under the covers.
Offspring was super amazingly sweet again this morning, making me laugh and crawling into my lap to make sure that I knew I was well loved.
She’s really good at loving stuff. A lot.
Through all of this, the pain was still there. Big time, achy achy pain. Coupled with sheer exhaustion. Added to the general discomfort of having a giant man-child living in your uterus.
Luckily, there was apple pie in the kitchen, which sounded like a GREAT breakfast idea.
Not THIS pie. This pie is a painting of a pie by Brad Caplis that I found on gunnarnordstrom.com. But it LOOKED like this pie.
“Ha ha,” said the Universe, “not so fast!”
So of course I ended up wearing the pie and had to change my shirt. Because it was THAT kind of morning. The Universe hates pie. You heard it here first.
It made me want to write a post exactly like this one, but Shan beat me to it and she did it in a way that was WAY FUNNIER than anything I could have put together. Do you know Shan? She knows lots of stuff about delicious muffins and I sometimes want to make out with her. Or rub bellies. Or eat muffins. NOT LIKE THAT! I’ve told you guys…this isn’t that kind of blog!
So I kept reading. And I came across this post by the lovely and talented Amber, and it made me feel a little bit excited about life and possibilities and it made me want to get out there and start doing all kinds of stuff. Not anything specific…I need a list! But stuff.
You see, kittens, some days you might feel like shit. And sometimes it’s even completely justifiable. But if the Universe wants you to be happy, then it’s going to MAKE you happy. So you may as well let it. Lean on your tribe, they’ve got your back.
One last thing. I know that this blog isn’t sporty, but I saw this and I had to post it because I LAUGHED and LAUGHED and LAUGHED.
Get it? Because he’s BLIND. Like the replacement refs.
So get out there and have a great day. Just beware of pie.
OH MY GOD THAT PICTURE IS HYSTERICAL!!!!! thanks for the LOL this morning! xxoo
THANK YOU FOR LAUGHING!!! People here don’t seem to get it. I HOWLED when I saw it!
Woohoo! My e-mail informed me I had a pingback and turns out it was YOU! Thank you thank you 🙂
Seriously, the hip pain is so excruciating! Keeps me up at night too 😦 That combined with the constant need to pee and the increasingly crazier and crazier dreams.
Also, I dropped mg apple pie breakfast in my bed yesterday morning. Yup, I had apple pie for breakfast in bed, and it looked exactly like the pie in that painting as well, but less pretty because I made it myself. And speaking of making things myself, do you like peanut butter and chocolate chips and marshmallows? I have too much time on my hands…
OMG do you SEE how perfect our life together would be? We would eat apple pie TOGETHER! In BED! And dropping it would be turned into an amusing innuendo! “teehee…let me get your pie for you…teehee!”
I LOVE peanut butter and marshmallows! Chocolate chips aren’t my favorite, but I don’t discriminate when things contain them. Now spill! What are we making?
I would really appreciate it if WordPress would stop deleting my comments before I posted them! Grr.
I made peanut butter cookie dough. Pressed half of that into the bottom of an 8×8 pan, added a layer of chocolate chips, then a layer of marshmallows. Topped it off with the rest of the dough. Threw it in the oven at 350 and 25 mins later had the most amazing peanut butter chocolate marshmallow cookie bars. Half of them are gone already… there may be a good reason I don’t fit into my pants…
I heart you. That’s all!
Ditto, chick!
Sorry you had a rough morning, but I’m so glad you were able to turn it around and be happy. It’s so easy to let a bad morning ruin the rest of the day, isn’t it? You did the best thing, though!
And, I can’t stop laughing at that picture, haha!!
Thanks! In the end, it’s really just the exhaustion that’s getting to me. The actual DAY isn’t so bad.
And that picture…it’s KILLING me!!!
Thanks for sharing – we have a different kind of football over here …but I sort of get what you’re saying lol. Yes the Universe can hate pies 🙂
Silly Universe…pie is innocent and should be loved by all.
One of those days! I swear the universe tried to crush my spirit yesterday!!
Hope your today is better.
Thanks! Today WAS better until I got called by the daycare because of a falling child. *sigh* maybe next week will be a super easy one…
