7:00am. Wake up. Don't have to go number two? Don't have horrible abdominal pain? How is your back pain? Not too bad. How is your joint pain? Not too bad either. Feel your eyes. Can you open them? Yes? Alright! You can relax. Today is going to be a good day.
7:30am. Get up. What can I wear? I feel good today. I think I'll wear jeans. Dress up a bit.
7:40am. Eat breakfast. What should I have? I feel good today. Maybe venture out of my comfort zone? Nah. I'll have Cheerios. Wouldn't want to throw my day off. Don't forget the Tylenol and Reactine. Oh ya, and OJ. Mmmm OJ.

BAD DAY
7:00am. Wake up. Run to the washroom. Try to get rid of this pain. Do this once, twice, maybe even three times. Regroup. Your stomach is nauseous, your joints are achy and swollen, your eyes are red and inflamed. Today is not going to be a good day.
7:30am. Get dressed in a rush. Throw on some yoga pants. Those will be comfy today.
7:40am. Eat breakfast. Cheerios. Those will be easy on your stomach. Take Tylenol. A lot of Tylenol. And Reactine. Try to fix these eyes.
7:55am. After visiting the loo again rush to work. Who cares what's on the radio. Just get there without throwing up.
8:10am. Say hello. Try to be happy.
8:45am. Take the kids to school. Pretend to listen to their stories. Respond with "good" and "uh huh".
9:00am. Go back to work. Just try to keep the peace.
10:00am. Take them outside. Let them run off their energy. You supervise.
11:45am. Kids eat lunch. You feed babies. Try not to gag on the smell of baby food.
12:15pm. The babies go to bed. You put on a movie for the non nappers. You just don't have the energy to go on an adventure walk today.
12:30pm. Eat your boring lunch. If your stomach can handle it. If not just drink some ginger ale. And take Tylenol. More Tylenol.
3:10pm. Get the kids from school. Try to care about their day. Their childhood problems. Your problems are much worse.
3:45pm. The kids get their snack. None for you today. Your stomach is actually starting to feel better since your rest this afternoon.
4:00pm. Say a quick goodbye to each child and try to clean up the kitchen.
5:15pm. Hallelujah! Its time to go home!
5:45pm. Eat dinner. If you dare. But you definitely won't want dessert. Take more Tylenol.
6:45pm. Take a shower. And relax. Maybe take a bath. Just try to feel better.
7:00pm. Collapse onto the couch. Watch a little TV. Take some T3s.
9:00pm. If you've made it this far congratulations. You've earned the right to go to bed. Early. Maybe you've even skipped the TV part of the evening and just gone right to bed at 7pm. If not. Go now. You're probably tired. Lay in bed and try to sleep. It will be hard. Pray tomorrow is a better day. Hope days like this are few and far between.
Here's to more good days then bad.
:)
