I hate being crabby. In fact, I wish there was a special place that you went to when you were crabby and either it made you uncrabby or it allowed that feeling to pass. Here are some things not to do when you are crabby (which I might have done yesterday):
- Don't talk to your daughter on the phone, while trying to do work, while she is trying to figure something really important out, but not really paying attention to you. (Yes, I am talking from experience.)
- Don't quickly answer email with a crappy tone that says that you are right and they are wrong. (Again, experience talking)
- Don't talk about someone else - yes gossip. Because it is bound to not be nice. (Yes... you get the point.)
- Don't shut the door and ignore your partner when they are struggling with their own issue... ok, well, it was the best I could do because otherwise I was going to explode.
Yesterday, not so good on the crabby point, today better. One thing I know, for sure, is that it all passes. Just please get out of my way when I tell you I am crabby... because you know I mean it.
