Crabby McGee

Two posts in one day?  I couldn't possibly leave you with just this post from earlier, so here's another:

jacket: old navy (similar)   dress: francesca's (similar)     boots: dsw (similar)   scarf: made my my sister

Want to know a way to NOT turn your spouse's bad attitude around?
Call them Crabby McGee. 
or Crabby McCrabster. 

On occasion Chris would call me that when he is joking around about my bad attitude and it can go one of two ways. 
I may just laugh and it could slightly improve my mood. 
or it may have a high possibility of making me even more crabby. 

Either way I have to say that last week I just may have won an award for being ultra crabby at home and at school.  
The fact that it was dress up each day last week (crazy hair = crazy kids) and we had a power out and one half day of school.  That my friends, is a recipe for a crabby teacher.  

However, I am well aware that I am in control of my attitude and sometimes I wish that wasn't true.
It is much easier to be crabby and annoyed than choose to not let those things get to you.

So this week I'm working on putting away the Crabby McGee and having a better attitude! 


Hope you have a good start to the week!

    I love this outfit! And I love you, crabby or not! Remember, you on a crabby day is still way more delightful than some people on their best day : )

    I'm the same way when it comes to being notified of my bad mood. It's either funny or sooooo not funny. It happens to us all. The great thing is- youre determined to have a different week!

    I am not looking forward to Halloween at school, with it being in the middle of the week and a full day of school. I should dress up as a crab!

    When Dane makes fun of me while I'm angry it goes one way...south. I immediately get more irritated even though he's only joking around!

    Yeah making fun of an angry person is not helpful! But it's fun to talk about later!

  13. Alana ChristineOctober 28, 2012 at 9:31 PM

    lol. I'm pretty sure that would make me more angry, too! It's easier just to ignore bad moods than to point them out.
    Hope your week is great!!

    You look adorable in this outfit! And my husband does the same thing. He calls me Grumpy and he always says "you need to relax". We all know that telling someone to relax only makes them more agitated! Haha, so don't worry, I am right here with you! :)

    I totally understand how a hubby's teasing could lead one of two ways when you're crabby! I've scared myself sometimes;) Hope you feel in a better mood soon!

    Oh how I know what you mean! Our hubby's can put us in a better mood or simply make it worse depending on what spot we are in. I am happy that when I was crabby this morning, the hubby was super supportive and made it all better.
