it was one of those days when everything seems a little bit harder than it should be. it was one of those days when aubrey and i argued more times than we should in a single day or in a single week in today's case. in hindsight they were all very silly things to argue about. it was one of those days when you run to target to pick up a few things for nachos and to buy the new Puss In Boots movie and when the cashier tells you your total, your jaw hits the floor because how could this possibly add up to such a ridiculous amount of money?! it was one of those days when your husband puts his brand new laptop (brand new as in he bought it yesterday) on the dining room table and one of the children spills a glass of water on it. we fear the computer is fried and that we are going to need to ::gasp:: buy another new one. it was one of those days when you just want to hit the pause button and go lay down upstairs, alone, in your bed and sleep it all away. it was one of those days when the kids didn't feel like listening and tried to be a little sneaky about a thing or two. yes, it was one of those days.
with all of that said... we could still put aside all of the bad that came out of today and turn the evening into something good. i made the most delicious nachos. the family watched Puss In Boots. birdie danced around like Puss almost the whole time which caused many laughs. at the end of the day we were together as a family, all in one room, together, happy, healthy and smiling. suddenly the day doesn't seem so bad.
