"One of those days"

It is funny to think about the common phrase "one of those days". What is it? Everyone in the world knows what "one of those days" is, but why? At what point in our life do we just know? My 6 year old woke up this morning and said "oh boy is it going to just be one of those days..isn't it?" Now how the heck does he know? And is his perception of one of those days the same as mine? Is your perception the same as mine?

After getting an e-mail last night, I had a rough time sleeping. I was thinking about the in's and out's of the e-mail and what if there was anything I could do to fix a problem I created. Then when I finally did get to sleep it seemed as if the alarm immediately went off. I then emerge from my daughters bed that I am borrowing since the last flood to put my feet on a cold concrete basement floor (again because of the flood) I peer out the window to see a very gloomy day. I think to myself.. "oh boy it is going to be one of those days".

I decided it is not going to be one of those days. I am going to get ready for the day, put on a fun outfit, dress my 4 year old and go to the mall. Not to shop (don't worry honey)... just to be out of the hustle and bustle of my life. I am going to drink a latte and enjoy the day. What about you? Is it one of those days? Are you going to let it be or change it?
