Silver Linings

Work sucked. My baby girl is sick. My lower back is throbbing. And when I got home from work tonight, all I wanted was a large glass of wine and a pizza. Wanted it so badly I could taste it in my mouth and feel it in my tummy. And as I stood in the kitchen, rehashing my day with my husband, my little boy - dressed in feetie pajammas and smelling the comforting smell of his baby shampoo and lotion - hands me a handwritten note that says, “Sore you had a bad day. I hope you have a good day tmorow” signed with a heart and his name. It was like the storm cloud over my head moved away.  That one little note cleared away a day’s worth of crap.

I had a big salad for dinner instead. And I feel full in more ways than one tonight.

    Aww, that’s a wonderful story. Your little boy was your angel tonight, giving you just the little lift you needed. Great job skipping the pizza and the wine. Here’s a virtual pat on the back for you, and here’s hoping that your evening is better than your day. Keep up the great work!
