A terrible horrible no goood very bad day? Like when you go to sleep with gum in your mouth and wake up with gum in your hair?
I dunno. Those days just make me want to spend some time somewhere quiet all by myself. Grab a fishing rod, a few beers, a box of smokes (I quit smoking years ago) and go someplace that nobody else knows about and just check out of everything for a while. Church works too but you can't smoke there. I also like to go running, biking or rollerblading (I'm so cool) at like 2 or 3am in the city if I can't sleep.

Jealous that you can rollerblade. I tried that once thinking that I could do it, because heck I did it as a kid it must be like riding a bike. Not the case apparently. I fell down bigtime, my thigh swelled up twice it's size and I had a very nasty large brush all the way down it.
Just a bad day, no gum in my hair
Just one of those days where lots of little things keep piling up and such.
A beer would definitely be nice, and if I had not eaten my low fat icecream then I'd be able to have one. But, no extra calories for beer left. Oh, well.

I'm a big English nerd, but even I will admit that most people will have closer attachment and enjoyment from the best books they read as children then they will the classics.

I laugh it off with friends. We have a great "rule" in which every day someone sends a funny to the others via e-mail.
It works

I try hard to hold it in....but if things continue to spiral downwards [over days].... then I cry, pace, then pray!

Here's one I received recently that I saved, just so I could read it anytime I had a bad day.
Top 20 Signs It's a Bad Day:

2. You put your bra on backwards and it fits better.
3. You call Suicide Prevention and they put you on hold.

Just offer it up, and try to get thru the day the best I can, and realize that this too shall pass.

Sometimes I just need to cry, expecially if the problem is frustration or being overwhelmed.
A long walk helps too.

Depending on how bad it is, I usually have a good cry then soak in the tub. It works wonders to get out the stress and frustrations of the day.

Bubble bath...glass of cold wine...oldest flannel pj's...big fluffy supersoft bathrobe...bowl of buttered popcorn...and a great movie (my favorites are all Shakespeare related).
Or all of the above except change the movie to a Disney flick and pile on the couch with all the kids. It's amazing how insignificant the world becomes when your child hugs you tight and says, "I love you, Mommy".
Peace and prayers to you, Colleen.

I like to pop in old musicals to cheer me up as well. A little Seven Brides for Seven Brothers or Meet Me in St. Louis.
