So, I started over on Thursday, Day 1! I also found a new mantra to use when dealing with everyone's whining & complaining. Now, instead of adding my own whining, I simply smile & say, "When I'm Emperor, things will be different!" Everybody smiles!

Never has my husband irritated me so plus all sorts of bad things seem to be starting, including unexpected bills that makes both of us cranky. This is harder than I thought it would be. Day one wasn't even easy. Gee, you know, I don’t know if I can do this and be married.

My mouse is wonky. I have done virus scans, spy ware scans, ad aware scans and my mouse is still wonky. I can't click and make the cursor go someplace else. I have to backspace in order to fix a typo and not just click on it to fix it. So I'm still on day one. Perhaps it's still hour one! So my current challenge is to see if I really can make it an entire hour without complaining! Baby steps for me. I need to create some success. I share my home with 2 teenagers, a dog, 2 cats, and a hamster. I really can't throw them out...it would be easier to go to a hotel for 35 days! So for me, it's a one hour challenge now!

He had me speechless for a bit because what one does with the internal neg. stuff is worth examining. that was an earlier thought i expressed here at this blog as i know i can get pretty far into a neg. self dialogue that no one ever knows about! re-focusing my neg thoughts to the challenge, i have then thought to myself, "how can i change or expand this thought so that it is more productive than just keeping it at a whine/complaint."and when i have done that, i've felt pleased for finding a positive way to think AND because i did not voice my negitivity, i didn't have to start day one all over! --my little lessons learned for the week that i wanted to share. if i knew how to insert a cute smiley face, i would right here! when telling my 17 year old son about the challenge, he said “don’t you just end up bottling up all that negativity if you don’t let it out?

I like the idea of making requests instead of whining & complaining. I am working on that. Also, I am going to ask my co-workers to take this challenge with me. Thanks for the encouragement.
