I Did Not Cry Over Spilled Orange Juice

I have become a tantrum thrower.

Okay I’m not on the floor throwing a fit kicking and screaming. But I do get easily frustrated over the simple things now.

At some point something in me had changed. I’d imagine it’s from a bunch of things adding up. You know…when one thing after another keeps going wrong. You loose your keys or maybe even your bank card. You trip on the front porch steps and even smack your head on the van getting your kids in. You may even find yourself spilling numerous things just as often as your children may. 

Frustrating.

Seriously. When you feel like it’s one thing after another…when will it end?!

Today I spilled a nice big glass of orange juice. Yup, right onto the kitchen floor. Orange juice splattered every where including up the legs of our bar stools and even on the top of the stools. Ugh.

Surprisingly… I did not get upset. Typically I’d feel that surge of frustration immediately come over me.

Nope, not this time! I just grabbed everything I needed to pick it up and thought to myself no big deal. Afterwards I thought to myself, “Wow! I can’t believe how well I handled that!”

Something so simple as spilling a glass of orange juice may sound silly to some to get worked up over. If you have ever been there then you know that finally not getting upset over that something small is a big thing!

I’ll take my mini accomplishment and pat myself on the back. You should too!
