Better Day

I feel so much better today. Tempers always seem to flair in the cold winter months when we are stuck indoors for the long dark days. I don't know why I romanticize holidays like I do. I always seem to expect the day to be magical in some way. Of course, that what Valentine's Day is all about, but in reality, it is just another day.

I have decided to cut Hubby - and myself - some slack. A bad day is just a that - a bad day. It shouldn't mean more because a card company tells us to buy hearts and flowers. I love him everyday, no more or less on February 14th.

Our youngest daughter is going to her first semi formal this week. I don't know who is more excited - me, or her. Lol. I actually get to take her dress shopping, without the sulking and protests that usually accompany a trip to the mall with her. I get it - she is 15 and hanging at the mall with Mom is so uncool.

This outing will be different though. Molly already has a dress picked out and wants to try it on - with me! That never happens. Molly is my sweet lil tomboy. I can't even remember the last time that she wore a dress....Her grade 8 graduation two years ago, I think.

Is is lame of me to be too excited to sleep??
