When you're done before the day even begins

Have you guys ever had that kind of day, or is it just me? I'm having one of those days right now. I have never found a good solution to this feeling. Usually, I handle it by being secretly (or not-so-secretly) grumpy about all the things I have to do in a day, and the inconvenience of needing to do them when I'm either not in the mood or not feeling great physically.

I didn't want to get up today. Didn't want to wake up early, just to take the kids to school and deal with the social awkwardness of interacting with other moms who are too busy to really talk anyway. I didn't want to face the mom who dragged me into a booster club meeting, just to be one of the last to show up. I don't want to drive 20 minutes, using gas money we don't have, to go to a school where I can't volunteer in my kids' classes anyway because I have my youngest with me, and I don't want to be forced to walk around a shopping center looking at things we can't afford, just to have something to freakin' do.

I don't want to have someone over today to talk with, much as I know I need it because my house is a disaster and I just don't want to clean it right now. The thought of cleaning it (or keeping on my kids until they help with it) is exhausting to me. I just want to stay home and paint, or maybe just sleep all day, if I thought I could get away with it.

I'm not sure how to handle this sort of thing. I feel like all the ways I'd handle it are unhealthy (again, trying to act like I can just sleep and it'll all go away). Have you ever experienced this feeling? How do you cope with it? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance.

Princess Advice on Finding That Special Someone

"Sometimes we fall for a guy who is so different from us, the relationship would never work out. If you have to have him, try changing up your look. Easier said than done, I know, but I'm sure you can find some sketchy person to help you. Trade that voice and those fins for some legs and presto, you'll find the man you always knew you needed since three days ago." - Ariel "Honey, don't hop around looking for something to fulfill you, or trying to make your daddy proud. When you find that special someone, you both have to be willing to change... And you might have to kiss a frog or two before you find your prince." - Tiana "Why would I want or need a husband? I've seen the men in my kingdom, they're a lot of dunderheids." - Merida "If someone hurts your family, don't assume they're a monster. Give them a chance. If they love books and fight wolves, how bad can they be?" - Belle "I was tired of looking arou...

It's Been a Crazy Year

Before the year even started, I was knocked off-kilter by an announcement from my pastor of 20+ years, that he felt led to leave our church in order to help out at his late father-in-law's church. Shortly afterward, he called me into his office to ask if I was willing to step into a youth leader role. I'd always wanted to be a youth pastor and even though I'd have to do it without him there, it was an answer to a calling that was placed in my heart as a teenager. I was so thankful for the time I had with those teens, despite the ups and downs that were happening at the church itself. A new pastor was selected, and I felt the process was hurried (even though we'd been almost 8 months without a pastor). We were given only one option and I thought this didn't seem very fair to the church, but I hoped for the best. Without going into detail, after meeting the senior pastor and spending some time talking with him, my husband and I made the very painful decision to leave ...
