Day 23

Calm after the storm. For the last two days I have been off. Yesterday, I took my children to the pool, only to discover I had forgotten my bathing suit at home. Last night, I tried to adopt a stray cat (for the second time). I bathed it, dried it, brushed it and gave it flea medicine, only to face the horrible realization that I couldn't keep it due to my son's asthma and allergies. Today, I was terribly short with my children (numerous times) for no other reason than I was just out of sorts. All day long I searched for that kernel of happiness, but it just seemed to elude me. Finally, thankfully, my day turned around and I was able to laugh at the absurdity of life when after bathing my children, my son went to the potty and said, "Wipe my ... Mom". Just another ordinary reminder that " .... happens!" and some times you just gotta roll with the punches.
