10 Steps To Get Over A Really Bad Week

Posted By becky on October 6, 2008

10.  After work on Friday, kiss the week goodbye and go to bed at nine.

9.  Saturday morning watch your kid’s soccer game on a beautiful fall day. 

8. At said game, scream like the Soccer Mom you are, hoping to make Sarah Palin proud.

7. Spend much of Saturday afternoon reading a book that is labeled as Teen Sci-Fi, thoroughly enjoy this guilty pleasure and not be embarrassed.

6. Saturday night, drop the kid off at the rents and meet your BFF out at a fun sports bar to watch Brewers baseball and Badger football.

5. Laugh so hard that night that your mouth literally hurts and all your eye make-up has been cried off.

4. Sunday, do not shower and do not get out of your pajamas.

3. Have a friend over for your son so you can spend copious amounts of time on Facebook without interruption.

2. After grocery shopping with the punk, have that overwhelming feeling of sheer joy that your fridge is now full of lunches and dinners for the entire next week. 

1. And finally, end the weekend with a pajama party (not hard since per step 4 you never got out of your p.j’s in the first place) with your cute son, while eating pizza, and watching AFV.   Make sure to remind the boy, who is laughing so hard at the guy who got knocked in the crotch with a baseball bat, to breathe.

If this doesn’t fix the woes of a REALLY bad week, I’m not sure what will.

    Glad you’re feeling better!

    You shopped in your jammies? That’s dedication to the cause, right there!

    Shannon,
    Luckily I wasn’t wearing a flannel nightgown. But I was wearing jammy bottoms that stayed on me all day… and a raggy t-shirt. I was HAWT!

    Sounds goo, but…what if you don’t have a son? What’s the substitute? Boyfriend?

    Very glad you’re feeling better… The only one that really wouldn’t work for me is #10 – if I went to bed at 9 I think my wife would call a doctor in fear for my health :)
