How do you get out of a bad mood? (Vent)

I feel like I've been in a horrible mood for the last couple of days. DS has not been napping or sleeping well, our trip to the store yesterday was a big, fat fail, DH has not been home much and was crabby himself when he was.

I don't want to be ready to cry (or scream) at the drop of a hat again today, but DS is up too early and very tired, but won't go back to sleep. I need to pump, work, and clean ym house but all I want to do is go back to bed after getting up 3 times last night.

Vent over. How do you pick yourself up and dust yourself off? I want to be cheerful...really, I do.

    Shop or eat but I don't recommend it.  Maybe call a good friend and have a laugh or meet up for lunch.  Good luck everybody gets in a funk every once in awhile.

    ditto going out for lunch with a friend.  shopping is dangerous for me when i'm upset bc i spend waaaaay to much...i actually remember reading an article that said you're more prone to overspend when you're in a bad mood/depressed -- stay out of the stores!  Wink

    Can you go outside for a walk or to a park?  The fresh air might wear your LO out. 

    Just remember, today is a new day.  We had a bad one yesterday too!  Cleaning can wait another day.

    I have a hard time getting out of a bad mood once I'm in one. As corny as it sounds, I just try to remind myself that whatever I'm grumpy about probably isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. I try to remind myself how good I have it, and then I usually feel silly for being grumpy.

    When I'm in a funk about all of that stuff, usually hearing one of those super-cheesy songs about family and love will bring me out of it.  The Darius Rucker song, there's one by Trace Adkins called "You're Gonna Miss This," and there's an Allen Jackson song called "Remember When" that all get my head back in a better place. 

    I guess it's like a pp said - they remind me that I'm stressing about the house not being clean, no sleep last night, etc, but in the grand scheme of things I am really lucky to have the life I have.

    I go to the book store or listen to music (music that makes me happy).  Feel better.
