Had a bad day

Right now, Daniel Powter's song is going through my head - "You work at a smile and you go for a ride". Yeah, the smile is not coming easily today. I can't even go for a ride. Right now I feel completely inept, like a total failure. I can't get my hair to turn out right - ever. I can't help my daughter with her homework, and she's struggling in school. I can't keep my house clean. I can't lose weight. Right now, at the very moment, I feel like a whole heap of can't. I am trying not to have a pity party.

But the fact is, I'm an extremely capable woman. I am smart, I have a job - a good one even. I'm practical and logical. I speak 3 languages , 2 of them fluently. People like me. Apparently I have an aura. I don't even know what that means - but two people have come up to me on different occasions saying that there was this aura about me, and they had to come and talk to me. Ok, that's a little creepy, and while one of the two was a man, he definitely wasn't trying to pick me up.

My friend, and fellow blogger, posted a "Prayer for a crappy day". Boy did he nail it. I think I'm gonna go pray that now.
