Metaphorically speaking, yesterday was the storm for me. (Which is ironic, because I actually like storms, but anyway...) It started off great (in fact, Avery slept in until 10am!), but by the end of the day I was not a happy Bonnie. First, I broke the lid to one of our kitchen storage containers, then Avery ripped one of our playing cards because I let her play with them, then I took forever grocery shopping while Brian was in the car with the kids and I left without my bananas too (but paying for them) and payed twice as much as I thought I would on grapes (a whopping $6.60!), then we watched a disappointing movie (Wall Street), and I got mad because I left the groceries and the dishes from dinner out the whole time, put the mixed OJ in the freezer (not a big deal, but shows my absent mindedness and frustration) and realize I forgot to put an attachment on our rice maker which caused the rice to be dry (so that was why!) and because we stayed up too late, Brian and I developed sore throats.
To top it off, I started to point the finger at Brian for all this for no good reason (just because I was ornery) and I ended up spending the night out on the couch with Aspen in her bouncer just because I was really in a crumby mood. And Aspen did not sleep well last night either.
So! I don't feel bad telling you all this because there is a rainbow. Small but certain. Amends were made this morning and for some reason after an occasion like that, you feel even more love for your spouse. (Not that I would go around picking fights for no good reason.) Then the weather was SO nice for us to take a long walk. The fresh air was probably the best "rainbow" I could have asked for. I'm so glad for rainbows after the storm and I hope I don't get this ornery too often!
