{click to enlarge}1. I woke to find Landon reading at the kitchen counter. He recently remembered he's a reader, so he's been making his way through books again...woohoo.
2. This is my "Hooray, I actually slept" self-portrait.
3. Max gave us his old Nano so Randy could join the 21st century, so I loaded it up with audiobooks I've been wanting him to hear.
4. This is Whitney's response to my question, "Did you leave that shirt on your floor for 2 days only to put it in the dirty clothes?!"
5. My lunch of champions.
6. I did some blogging.
7. I ended up reading not one, but two Conference talks because I was feeling rather pissy but trying to fight it.
8. I finally went in for a pedicure, ahhhh.
9. I received the coach's information for Whitney's soccer team, I'm the "real" coach, not the assistant coach this time.
10. Michelle and I drove together to meet Amanda L. for dinner.
11. Our dinner at La Hacienda Restaurant.
12. Our overhead-lit self-portrait at the restaurant.
**Did you remember it was the 12th?
Will you do this today instead?
How do you combat grumpiness?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I have slept for 3 nights in a row since I stopped using the foot cream at night. Bizarre no?

That is very bizarre about the foot cream.
I only remembered it was the 12th because of so much going on. I do not like busy days that I have to run from one thing to the next. The good side I have 3/4 woman done vt for the month.
Your mexcican food looks really yummy. I could eat that stuff every day.
I love 12 for 12! I haven't had a pedicure in so long...I think the last one was my birthday in March! My toes are not pretty! :)
So crazy about the foot cream. A least you figured it out!
Hooray for sleeping! Crazy about the cause. (Sorry about that...)
I was thinking that Randy might really enjoy listening to podcasts, too. I'm sure Max would recommend Radio Lab.
Looks like you chose a good remedy for your grumpiness. For me, it depends on the day. Sometimes reading works, sometimes a nap, sometimes creating, sometimes prayer. And sometimes a shower is all it takes!
I'm glad I got to be part of your day.
love your "hooray i actually slept portrait". it makes such a difference.
love when kids remember their readers.
conference talks always change my attitude.
jealous of your pedicure. i need one.
I love these 12 on the 12th posts! My 365 project died sometime in April, so maybe I'll try this next year. Less overwhelming.
I love your #2 hooray I slept photo. You look so cute and refreshed.
When I'm grumpy, sleep usually is what I go to to fix myself.
I only know it's the 12th because I'm waiting for something.
I am seriously combating grumpiness today. Adding some cherry syrup to my Pepsi is helping. There might be SoCo in it later though. What a day.
I like that overhead-lit shot.
And Lucky Charms IS the breakfast of champions. I mean, just look how ready for the day that little leprechaun looks.
That is so great about your sleep! Bizarre, indeed. But wonderful!
These are a fun way to get a glimpse of your day. I love your lunch--who can resist junky cereal? And great idea to read Conference talks when you are in a bad mood. I love the ideas I get from your blog!
I try to combat grumpiness with sugar. It is generally just replaced by guilt because really- 3 packages of swiss rolls is more than one person should eat at a time!
I remembered it was the 12th but almost didn't have 12 photos to use! And I was even on a get-away with girlfriends!! Sad- I know.
I have never woken to one of my children reading at the counter. It is seriously a desperate dream of mine to have one child who loves to read. It makes me sad that none of them do so far.
Is it weird that I have never had a pedicure?
Your dinner with friends sounded lovely. Good food. Good conversation. Bliss.
We ate at La Hacienda tonight and I chuckled thinking of you avoiding eye-contact with the guy who sings at the tables. We were in a corner and lucked out because he never made it over to us. So awkward. The food was good though.
Love your 12 on the 12.
Ah, Jill. I love seeing your happy face on your 12. Also, you're a soccer coach? I'm impressed!
i love these posts for the little things they capture that you might not think to blog about. but, you do a great job of blogging details anyhow.
sometimes recording details makes regular days seem special. i just don't have the motivation to do it, though.
