that kind of day

*the kind of day when you get out early in the morning to pull weeds (oh, joy) because it's going to be 100 degrees.

*the kind of day when you find out that making circle blocks may not be your thing.

*the kind of day where you 4 year old draws with oil pastels on the rug, the carpet, the walls, the door (oh, and his rock).

*the kind of day where your 6 year old sticks her tongue out at you in a seriously defiant way.

*the kind of day when you're late to work and a customer has a problem that you just can't fix.

*the kind of day when your husband says, "Let's take the kids swimming after dinner" and you think "can I stay home?"

*the kind of day where you go swimming anyways and everyone has a fabulous time and everything feels remarkably better.

 the kind of day...

*the kind of day when you try out the blanket stitch on your machine and it works surprisingly well to applique those circle blocks.  So well, in fact, that you smile.

the kind of day...

And take lots of silly pictures....

the kind of day...


Because it's been that kind of day.
