Sunshine!

It never ceases to amaze me what a difference a good night's sleep can make. I've been so "blue" lately...holidays, milestones, missing my best friend, going through old photos and reminiscing (and feeling cheated out of time with my Dad). It's been a very rough month or so. Last night, though, I fell to pieces crying when DH asked me about our plans for dinner. All of the sudden, I realized I hadn't planned anything, and I felt like such a failure. I mean, we've been trying to save money to work on the house so we can sell it, and I couldn't even remember to make dinner? Nevermind the fact that I was dealing with a sick child all day long! Fortunately, my DH saw the situation for what it truly was...exhaustion and the blues and gave me the night "off". I went upstairs by myself and watched my show (Dancing With the Stars...poor Brooke had a bad first dance, and I was so upset for her. She rebounded, though, and I voted for her! I hope to see her next week in the finals!). I got to go to sleep early and slept all night. I woke up this morning to sunshine outside and sunshine in my heart. Today is definitely a good day (though I am still looking forward to nap time this afternoon! LOL). My son is back at school...was just a 24 hour thing. The little princess has ballet this afternoon, and at some point, I have GOT to go to the commissary. I'm kinda out of a few things...like toilet paper...deodorant...milk...juice. Nothing major, LOL. Guess I'd better go put my list together! :)
