Day 1

Today wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Bug is teething and she is miserable. Last night she was up every hour and a half, fussing and crying. Since she was up, that means I was too. My plan was to get up with J this morning, since he didn't have to be in until 700, and have some coffee and spend a bit of time with him before the cycle started and I don't see him for three weeks. Unfortunatley, I didn't wake up until I heard the dead bolt on the front door. Sad that I missed him, I got up and made some coffee and took care of Bug. Still miserable from her night, she crawled around the living room fussing for a bit, then looked me square in the face and said, "Where's dada?" Then she started crying. I'm sure thats not really what she said, but it sure sounded that way and it made me even more sad.

The day began to progress into one of those days when every little thing you do goes wrong and all you want to do is you want to do is get back in bed. Hoping I would feel better, I went shopping at Walmart with a friend. Her night was like mine, so neither one of us was very happy about being there and quickly got the shopping done. We decided to take the girls to the lake since the weather was beautiful and we both needed some sun. As we were leaving walmart, we noticed a man standing in line at the McDonald's with a GIANT hole in the butt of his cotton shorts. By giant I mean the seams had busted and there was at least a four inch gaping hole, and people, I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing underwear. The frightening thing was he was woth someone and they didn't seem to care about the hole. My friend and I laughed so hard, I almost pee'd myself. We laughed all the way to the car and the entire time we were putting groceries in the car.

After that, the day was great! We had an awesome time at the lake with the girls. We had a nice cold coffee from starbucks and we went back to her house and ordered chinese takeout for dinner. It was delicious and it hit the spot!

I think sometimes I ((and maybe, you)) need a reminder that your day ((and your mood)) is what you make of it. There is always something to smile about, something to laugh about and something to appreciate. Today I appreciate the fact that I have a friend that will laugh with me when things suck... And one that would tell me if I had a giant gaping hole in the butt of my clothes.
