GIVE ME SOME HAPPY THOUGHTS!
Well, you could come down to the basement and get a avatar makeover by one of our members, Country Girl.
That may cheer you up or at the very least make you laugh! Here are my before and after pictures.
Before
After
See how pretty she made me!!! Seriously, I used to have a big problem staying organized, keeping up with housework, not burning things, etc. but I found a way because I am obsessed with all these things. I have some really goofy ways of doing things.
But for many of the members here they have a PDA where they keep all their reminders to do whatever. If you can't afford a PDA you may want to keep a notebook or a small pad/pencil you can keep in your pocket. If you spend a lot of time on the computer I use a simple little mini-minder program. Outlook also has ways you can set it up to remind you to do stuff.
Hopefully other folks will come along and give you some stratagies. Good luck.
YES, IM ALL OVER THEBOARD TODAY,
I need some happy thoughts. My organization, or my "want" for it is starting to quitely go away, I'm totally overwhelmed and unhappy, I have this want to go have some fun, but theres noone to go have fun with, I have my hubby and hes up for anything but it never happens, plus I can never think of anything fun for us to go do, my 9 yr old has the flu, my 11 yr old ADHD son was suspended, I feel like I'm in a slump right now. I was so positive for awhile about my diagnosis and meds, but, not so much anymore, so if anyone has any happy thoughts or positive things to say to get me goin again, id love ya forever, sometimes, most the time I think I'm just doomed to a hum drum, unhappy, boring, unorganized life 
...pittiful me!

so that is a kinda option - and don't be put off if it looks like it'll be rubbish. the more rubbish, the funnier i found it!
otherwise - i don't know. bowling???? a funny movie???? a karaoke night - now, that could be funny.... especially if you dare your husband and kids to sing???
alternatively leave the husband with the kids and go over to a girlfriends get dolled up and hit a nightclub --- there's nothing like dancing and drinking and flirting stupidly to make one feel better! make sure its a really tacky club with 70s disco and funk and that big glitter ball over the ceiling of the dance floor too (and hopefully no-one you know in it!).
i don't know. what do you like?
and of course there is always the basement for a makeover!!! and a joke or two.
and if you are looking for a funny movie to rent - i think "the gods must be crazy" is very funny. very old came out mid 80s i think, i also like all those old English Ealing comedies... something like School for Scoundrels (was that what it was called?) anything with Terry Thomas in kinda makes me laugh - but people's tastes in funny are normally wildly divergent!
and as for happy thoughts --- how about you're amazing, a great mom, a loving wife and a happy, funny, confused, trying your best to work it all out and it's gonna be a beautiful day tomorrow too! and if you are struggling - i think society today is not particularly natural, this is going to start to sound negative so stop here if you don't want to hear it!!!!
but its tough - it's not natural, it's very isolating, it's very selfish, it's very superficial, it's very materialistic. sometimes i think people like the Amish have got it right far more than contemporary society for the general mental health and well-being of humans! it's nice to be part of a community and work for the greater good of everyone - not just oneself. good luck with it all - hope you had a great night out!
feel any better?
thanks !! I do feel alittle better today. You know, all the advice from chjones, which is always good because if i recall i got advice befor, but it seems obvious, but the sad truth is if i had a girlfriend to go out with i'd be at the club dancing!!! Ive been doing home daycare for soo long, i dont get out much and the wives at the Fire Station, well, theyre great, BUT, i dont want to go out hoopin and holleran and havin a good time w/my margaritas with any of them and it get back to the station, it is a rumor mill trust me, sooooo, who knows, but ive made my bed as far as thats concerned so Ill sleep in it. My hubby and i are tyring to think of something to do over Memorial day etc. so we'll see, money is always a factor too, 
im not a good mom, but i dont blame myself entirely, the love is there thats not it, but my oldest is 11, and until last November (2006) i was a lazy head mom, didnt disapline, follow thru etc. and now theyre difficult children and my hubby told me so, but im workin on that too, anyways thanks guys!!!!! I am a loving wife, my huby and i are doing better then we ever have in 9 years together and i even get butterflies still when i see him, soooo the short is, youre right, i just was having a bad day. as far as the PDA, im a dinosaur!!! I do have notebooks tho and i write everything down, i just havent had the umff to go and do what i had written to do, but anyway, yesterdya and today is better, thanks for listening to my whine!!!

I am so happy our son is finally getting a education in public school that fits his need!Can't wait for 06-07 school year so he/ we can put this past school behind him. I am praying it turns his attitude about school around.Enter Your Email below to claim your Free Book
