...how do you turn your mood around? I have a bad case of the Mondays this morning! DH is out of town for work this week so I'm single parenting my two little people and WOH. I'm in a funk!

IN this case, I usually splurge on something little to cheer me up (gifts make me happy!) haha So even if that's a Starbucks drink, or I surprise LO with a donut, anything that can cheer up the house makes me in a better mood. If I'm in a deep funk, usually shoes or a new shirt are in order

Get out of the house! I go wander around Target and pick up some Starbucks while there to enjoy. Just getting out perks me up some and burns up what seems like a day that lasts forever.

If my mood is awful on the way to work I will pick up a Starbucks and that usually helps a little bit. Then when I get to work I try to focus on what I need to get done and get it done so that at least I can feel a sense of accomplishment even if I'm in a bad mood. Online shopping, look at the houzz website, pinterest, all usually help my mood too.
Some times I just go to Starbucks for a walk and a chance to get out. I try to think of things on my way there/back that make me happy and focus on that.
Some days though all I need to do is get through the day and go home and have a glass of wine!
I hope your day gets better!

I love that every answer so far has mentioned Starbucks. Cause that's my go-to solution too! I promised no Starbucks this month (pregnant, so don't need the caffeine and sugar, and I was buying them too much given how expensive they are), so I've been trying to find alternatives. Hot chocolate is my current favorite, but I don't have much left. My favorite brand is really hard to come by (not in but one or two stores, none anywhere close, and shipping is way high if I buy online), and overpriced, but SO good!

3 minute dance party! I turn on a fun pop song or two and dance it out.

I try to remember that I have the power to turn it around to improve everyone's day.

I hope your day got better! I usually try to take a walk outside even if it's only for a few minutes. It helps me to relax and refocus.

On my own- coffee & being left alone to roam blogs for a few minutes.
Sometimes my SO helps me out asking if I'm finished being grumpy and trying to hold my hand or give me a hug. It's silly, but his annoying gestures lifts my mood.
