Today was a typical February day: cold and rainy. Yuck. I was standing out in this mess doing bus duty today. I was thinking about how fast I could get Lovie and get home to put 5 layers of clothes on to stay warm. That's an exaggeration. I would probably only need 3 layers since our house has been drafty lately. I walked out of the school to go home and couldn't believe it. The clouds had disappeared and my old buddy the sunshine was shining brightly. Amazing how a tiny exposure of Vitamin D can make my mood do a 180.
Neal had a meeting tonight so Lovie and I were on our own anyway. Instead of coming home to do our normal, boring routine, I picked her up and headed to the mall. Treats from Target for Valentine's Day. Check. Ride on the carousel. Check. Selfie on the carousel. Check. Since I was feeling adventurous, we opted to ride in the carriage instead of on a horse. Big mistake. I get dizzy fast on things that round and round. I can tolerate it if I'm standing up but those 2 minutes when were sitting down on that thing were treacherous. I learned that she'd rather be on a horse too as evidenced by her trying to jump out of my lap. Oh well, life is too short to not ride a carousel on a Tuesday. I feel blessed that said carousel is also 5 minutes from our house and we've ridden it too many times to count.
Chick-fil-a for dinner was a hit. Even if she mostly only ate French Fries. To my credit, I did ask for fruit with her kids meal but they gave us fries instead. I took that as a sign of divine intervention and let her go for it. You only live once, right?
