All in how you look at it !

I didn't have much hope that today would be a good day last night at eleven o'clock when I was just crawling into bed. I was pretty sure that today would not be a good day when I awoke at one AM dreaming that the alarm went off . The feeling stayed the same, if not worse, when the alarm did go off at three AM. I grumbled a bit as I thanked God for the overtime pay that he was giving Mike as I stumbled to the kitchen to pack his lunch, cook his breakfast, and make his thirty four ounce mug of espresso. When the cappuccino pot would not turn on I knew that this could not be a good day but soon I realized that all I needed to do was reset the outlet ( gotta love those modern safety features)I got Mike off to work and watched the women's gold metal volley ball match as I contemplated what to do next.Finally I decided that another hour of sleep was what I needed to do. Once up, I asked Robby what he wanted for his Birthday dinner expecting him to want to eat out or have burgers or something like that . What did he want ..... Pasta. Now pasta as most of you know is one of my least favorite foods but I made it for him and skipped dinner. Since Cindy is working tonight and Mike has to be up at three AM again tomorrow, we decided to have Robby's Birthday Cake tomorrow and have Grandma, Grandpa, Nanny & Pops over . Because of this we needed something tonight so we went to Dairy Queen and got Robby a DQ cupcake and the rest of us PB parfaits. Since I skipped dinner, I also ordered a couple chilly dogs for me and Mike who always has room for a chilly dog. The boys were offered one too but declined. We came home , ate, and now as I am looking at the clock to see how long till bed time, I realize, today wasn't so bad after all.
