Oh, it’s another rainy day…

Outside a cloud is forming/ In my heart the rain is pouring down endlessly/ The sky is gray just like me

                                                                                   Rainy Day, The Plain White T’s

It is, yet again, another rainy day.

Figuratively, it’s really been an entire week of rainy days for me. It’s been one thing after the next; another homework assignment, another time-out for one of the kids-it’s a never ending cycle. And yesterday’s optimism is somewhere along the side of Warrior Drive. Because today all the stress and the yuckity-yuck caught up to me.

But then I went to work and as I walked into a room, T-Man saw me and smiled a big, gummy grin and suddenly I knew it was all going to be okay. And then, as the twins attacked me with hugs, the stress of the day seemed to just melt away. So moral of the story: a smile and a hug can go a heck of a long way!

“The best gift you can give is a hug: one size fits all and no one ever minds if you return it.”
