3 Steps to De-Grump

I woke up on Saturday morning on the wrong side of the bed.  There was nothing wrong, but I was freaking grumpy!  I have a few fool proof steps to de-grump on days like that though.  And thus, I present to you my secrets to de-grumping.....


How to De-Grump for Dummies

1.  Wake up super grumpy.  Without this, the rest is pointless.
I can't find a grumpy picture of me.  Apparently I don't like cameras when I hate the world.

2.  Find the brightest clothing that you own.

Thunder thighs!
The purple tie dye tights made a reappearance.  My favorite running tights.  Ever.
Please ignore the dirty carpet and dog toy.

Also part of the outfit:  

Yes, I promise you that I wore all of that.  And yes, the shorts may or may not have been pajamas.  I didn't care.  They had polka dots.

3.  And then go about your day.  For me that meant going on a nice, short run and then taking Little Guy to the dog park which only helped to cheer me up more!  I may have gotten some odd looks at the dog park, but that only helped my mood.  I love being an odd ball!

He plays with the big dogs more each time we go.  He's becoming one himself!  And he's so darn fast!

And there you have it.  How to de-grump in three easy to follow steps.  I always find that the more ridiculous I make myself and the day itself, the quicker I can kick my grump.

And just because everyone needs a pick me up on a Wednesday, here's a picture of the pup after tearing up one of his favorite toys.

What's wrong, mom?  What did I do?

It takes me anywhere from a half a day to 2 full days to de grump. Mostly I just blame the weather. Getting out of it means eating donuts. No other way around it! :)
